The doctor who saved Sen. Tammy Duckworth in Iraq is trapped in Gaza. Now she's trying to save him.
Adam Hamawy, from Princeton, N.J., is among a team of doctors from the Palestinian American Medical Association that was blocked from leaving Gaza on Monday.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., says she owes her life to Dr. Adam Hamawy, an American surgeon who provided critical care to her 20 years ago when she was wounded in the Iraq War.
That's why she's working the phones to try to help Hamawy, who is trapped in Gaza with other aid workers, make a safe return home to the U.S.
Were shaking every tree, calling everyone to make sure we do everything we can to ensure safe passage of these doctors to whatever crossing we can get them to, Duckworth said in an interview Tuesday.
Hamawy is one of 10 American doctors from a team of 19 health care professionals from the Palestinian American Medical Association who traveled to Gaza this month to provide emergency medical assistance at the European Hospital in the Khan Younis area of Gaza.

Having to leave patients behind would be excruciating.
