Nurse Lana, a courageous American nurse who volunteered on two medical missions to Palestine in Gaza, describes what she witnessed firsthand in the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

We discuss:
- The humanitarian crisis and war crimes unfolding in Gaza.
- What it’s like working in hospitals bombed and besieged.
- The trauma and strength of Palestinian patients and doctors.
- The complicity of Western governments and media silence.
- Why Palestine advocacy in the United States is more urgent than ever.

Guest Intro:
In February 2024 and 2025, Nurse Lana was given the opportunity to participate in two life changing medical mission trips. Both trips were to provide critical care to those affected by the humanitarian in Gaza. With a heart forever marked by genocide, she’s turned her pain into purpose and has since become a passionate voice and vowed to fight for every life lost, every voice silenced, and every truth buried beneath the rubble.In nursing, there’s a rule: if it wasn’t documented, it wasn’t done… And because silence helps no one—and this is too important to forget, Lana documented it the only way she could—by writing it all down and releasing it in a book called Healing Under Fire.
