When Dr. Mimi Syed returned from her first volunteer trip to Gaza in the summer of 2024, she started flipping through her notes and came to a shocking conclusion: In one month, the ER physician had treated at least 18 children with gunshots to the head or chest. And that’s only the patients she had time to make a note of.

“They were children under the age of 12,” she says. “That's something I saw every single day, multiple times a day, for the whole four weeks that I was there.”

Syed’s not the only one. Other physicians who’ve worked in Gaza report seeing similar cases on a regular basis, suggesting a disturbing pattern. The doctors allege that members of the Israeli military may be deliberately targeting children.

This week on Reveal, in partnership with Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines, we follow Syed from Gaza to the halls of Congress and the United Nations, as she joins a movement of doctors appealing to US and international policymakers to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

** She Denied Mel Gibson a Gun—Then Trump’s DOJ Fired Her

------------------------------------------------------------

I live near Washington, DC, and right now, I’m inundated with stories about people losing their federal jobs. What made former US Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer so compelling was the story she tells about how she was fired.

In March, Oyer was asked to make a recommendation to Attorney General Pam Bondi about reinstating actor Mel Gibson’s gun rights, which were rescinded after a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction in 2011. Liz reviewed the case and refused. Within hours, she says she was terminated.

Then another twist: After being invited to testify in front of Congress about her firing, Liz says the Trump administration tried to make her “afraid of telling the truth about the circumstances leading up to my termination.”

Al Letson talks with Oyer ([link removed]) on this week’s More To The Story. I hope you’ll tune in.
