Lubna Hammad is a Palestinian attorney, human rights activist, and member of Adalah-NY, The Coalition for Justice in the Middle East.  In this conversation with WITNESS, Lubna offers her perspective on the current situation in Gaza amidst the 12-day Israeli military offensive that has already left more than 600 people dead, including many civilians.  Lubna also calls on concerned citizens to take action and join protests that are happening around the world to call for an immediate ceasefire.
