With microphone in hand, Nour Ebid transported a crowd of 100 mourning Yalies to a hospital floor in Gaza where a 9‑year-old Palestianian boy saw his injured leg amputated in “a nonsterile field, without anesthesia, without appropriate sedation.”
The Yale New Haven Hospital physician associate then moved the crowd to a medical setting much closer to home, where “every single surgical procedure requires utmost care and absolute sterility.”
“We swear a sacred oath to do no harm,” Ebid said about her work as a local healthcare professional. “And it is our duty to call on this university and demand a ceasefire now.”
