Dr. Ayman Oweida he’s doing everything he can to help his family survive. But he hears the bombs getting closer when speaking to them on the phone. 

The eyewitness of Aunt Fatimah, who says she is the sole survivor of an attack by the IDF, has lead Oweida to sign onto a coalition asking the Canadian government to cease arms exports to Israel. 

It might not save his family – but it might do something.
