"We gather together tonight to mourn. We gather together tonight to cry. We gather together tonight to let ourselves feel," Dr. Tamim Khaddash, a radiologist at Penn, said.

Doctors, nurses and medical students from the University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia gathered to remember the more than 8,700 Palestinians who have been killed since the start of the war.
