'American Doctor' tells of brutality in Israel-Hamas war

On Friday, Poh Si Teng premiered a new documentary at the Sundance Film Festival that follows US medics working in Gaza hospitals during the Israel-Hamas war; the festival runs until February 1.
Smuggling surgical scrubs and antibiotics, the doctors face last-minute refusals by Israeli authorities amid the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Repeated hospital strikes, including a "double tap" on Nasser Hospital, Khan Yunis, killed emergency responders and journalists; the film is dedicated to around 1,700 healthcare workers killed.

Investigators have accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, which Israel calls `distorted and false`, and violence persists despite a fragile ceasefire since October last year with nearly 220 journalists killed.
