Comparisons in Gaza

Ramona Okumura, a stranded American volunteer in Gaza who crossed into Egypt Wednesday, is an expert in pediatric prosthetics who has been working with the Palestine Children’ Relief Fund since she retired from her job at the University of Washington, who “is able to build and fit prosthetics from the very limited material people in Gaza are able to get in through the blockade,” as well as teaching medical providers how to do it.

Yahya Sinwar, Hamas leader in Gaza, is an expert in explosives and rockets who “is able to build and outfit deadly IEDs and projectiles from the unlimited material people in Gaz are able to get in through the blockade” as well as teaching other Hamas volunteers how to do it.
