The war in Gaza has captured the attention of much of the world, and unfortunately, it seems there is no end in sight.  The Pushing Limits gang realizes that these catastrophic events occurring most heavily impact the disability community – and worse yet, are creating new disabilities with each passing hour.

On today’s program, we invite you to join us for true, real-time stories of people with disabilities trying to survive an ongoing genocide as we host Elizabeth Johnson Sellers from the international organization, Humanity and Inclusion to discuss what is happening to the disability community in Gaza.  Elizabeth holds a B.S. from Murray State University, where her studies focused on journalism and marketing.

This program is hosted and produced by Eddie Ytuarte.

Humanity & Inclusion and its partners in Gaza have provided aid to more than 3,500 people since October 7.  They focus on people with disabilities. Their office, located in the Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City, was destroyed in an Israeli bombing strike on January 31. Here’s more about the destruction of their office. No warning given!
