“What We SAW in GAZA”

… first-hand testimonies from 65 U.S.-based health professionals

… worked in Gaza over the past year

… more than 160 photographs and videos

… preteen children who were shot in the head or chest

… some readers questioned the accuracy of the accounts   [ 65 Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics ]

… the authenticity of three CT images shown

… Those criticisms are unfounded

… Times Opinion rigorously edited this guest essay before publication

… verifying the accounts and imagery

… and file metadata

… vetted the doctors and nurses’ credentials

… that they had traveled to and worked in Gaza as claimed

… we did additional work to review our previous findings

… We presented the scans to a new round of multiple, independent experts in gunshot wounds, radiology and pediatric trauma

… attested to the images’ credibility

… we again examined the images’ digital metadata

… compared the images to video footage of their corresponding CT scans

as well as photographs of the wounds of the three young children

… our editors have photographs to corroborate the CT scan images

… we decided these … were too horrific for publication

… a similar decision for the additional 40-plus photographs and videos supplied by the doctors and nurses

… that depicted young children with similar gunshot wounds.

… Any implication that its images are fabricated is simply false
