I see why they wouldn't want to work there, but on the other hand, these are some of the people who need them most.

As the article describes, they wouldn't be allowed to provide aid if they went. The purpose of medical personnel at Guantanamo isn't to help the detainees, it's to keep them alive so they can continue to be mistreated.
