On today’s show we start in conversation about the ceasefire deal announced on Wednesday after political negotiations between Hamas and Israel. We’ll speak with Ziad Abbas as well as Lara Kiswani. Ziad Abbas is the executive director of the Middle East Children’s Alliance, a Berkeley-based international aid organization whose work includes providing food, medicine, medical supplies, and installs water purification units in schools and preschools throughout Gaza. Ziad is himself a Palestinian refugee. Lara Kiswani is the Executive Director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, which organizes for racial and economic justice and the dignity and liberation of our Arab, and Muslim communities here in the Bay Area. She is also Palestinian.
Then, we explore the Lancet’s latest research on the death count in Gaza with Francesco Checchi, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine who supervised and worked on statistical analysis for the Lancet’s recently published study, called “Traumatic injury mortality in the Gaza Strip from Oct 7, 2023, to June 30, 2024: a capture–recapture analysis”.
