Gaza War: Two years on a doctor remembers and reflects on the death of his 3 daughters

Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish was a well-known Palestinian gynecologist who spent years working in one of Israeli’s main hospitals. On January 16, 2009, two days before the end of Israel’s brutal 22-day assault on Gaza, his home was shelled twice by Israeli tanks. His three daughters and his niece were killed. He has just written a book about his life called I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor’s Journey on the Road to Peace and Human Dignity.

The doctor was interviewed on Democracy Now in the last days - here.

In fact, the doctor is a guest speaker at the Jaipur Literature Festival which kicks off tomorrow.
