Healthcare & Access (Gaza-linked care): U.S. Army veteran and doctor Adam Hamawy—who previously volunteered as a trauma surgeon in Gaza—won a Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 12th District, campaigning on “health care, not bombs,” a message that ties directly to his medical experience in conflict settings.
