In this episode Nicole and Tom interview Dr. Ghassan Hamdan of Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS). PMRS is a grassroots NGO that's provided a much needed response to the medical crises caused by the occupation. PMRS' workers, like other Palestinian medical workers, are constantly targeted by the occupation forces. On top of providing medical care. PMRS has trained up thousands of people, building resilience to the occupation's attacks on the Palestinian people.
Organisations like PMRS are a vital part of remaining steadfast against Israel's colonisation policies. Building health autonomy is a key part of building resistance to the occupation.
