"Thank you to de Volkskrant in the Netherlands for doing what American media should be doing: clearly reporting on what physicians have seen in Gaza. @realDonaldTrump you can stop this slaughter of children with a wave of your hand. https://t.co/bAYpHCafKh- Feroze Sidhwa (@FerozeSidhwa) September 14, 2025 Dr. Mimi Syed, a U.S. emergency physician who volunteered for two four-week rotations at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis and al-Aqsa Martyrs Government Hospital in Deir al-Balah, described one 4-year-old victim, a girl named Mira."
Seventeen medical volunteers and a nurse from Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States worked in six hospitals and four clinics in Gaza since October 2023. Fifteen of the 17 doctors described treating 114 children under age 15 who had a single bullet wound to the head or chest. A former Royal Netherlands Army commander said such wounds indicate the victims were almost certainly shot on purpose. U.S. emergency physician Dr. Mimi Syed described a 4-year-old girl named Mira as one example of a child casualty treated during those rotations.
