On Monday May 14, while treating patients with gunshot wounds in Gaza during the Great March of Return, Canadian physician Tarek Loubani was shot in both legs by Israeli forces. One medic on his team,\u00a0Musa Abuhassanin, was killed while attempting to providing care Palestinian protesters. Loubani published an account that noted he and the medical staff were wearing \u201chigh visibility clothing\u201d and when they approached injured Palestinians, they did so with their hands raised as to show soldiers they were unarmed medical professionals.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

After Loubani was wounded, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for an investigation and issued a statement, \u201cWe are appalled that Dr. Tarek Loubani, a Canadian citizen, is among the wounded \u2013 along with so many unarmed people, including civilians, members of the media, first responders, and children.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
