If you're looking for ways to fight forced starvation in Gaza, our guest today wants help. Healthcare hero Zahed Rahman is a registered nurse with 15 years of experience in critical care and emergency work. He has been on 3 medical missions to Gaza over the past 2 years, with his most recent trip being in May 2025.

On the morning of Friday, August 1st, I talked with Zahed about ways that you and I can work together to fight the forced starvation that Israel and the United States are imposing on the people of Gaza.

In this episode, you will learn:

• 3 different ways we can demand an end to forced starvation
• what Zahed is working on with other nurses and doctors who have worked Gaza
• how you can sail to Gaza to break the siege (registration open now)

Zahed will also give us details about his friend Chris Smalls, the iconic founder of the Amazon Labor Union. As you likely know, Chris Smalls was one of the passengers of the Handala boat that sailed towards Gaza with humanitarian aid as part of the Freedom Flotilla. After all passengers were captured and detained by the Israeli military, Chris was the only passenger to be severely beaten and the last passenger to be released.

You can find Zahed on instagram @mzrahmanrn.
