Destroying hospitals and murdering health workers is part and parcel of a genocide.

Israel’s targeting of healthcare workers and healthcare facilities in Gaza is a disgrace and must stop.

Im signing because currently the only people who seem to be fighting for humanity and the right to to exist are the health workers thats doctors, nurses, surgeons etc, its is absolutely disgusting what is happening in Palestine, we are in 2025 and the western world leaders have armed and supplied israel to commit this genocide, our own government is complicit in this genocide taking place.

I am appalled by how our government the very people who were chosen to protect and serve us are committing genocide and wiped out innocent babies, children, woman, men, by choosing to supply israel with funds and weapons.

I believe healthcare workers should not be targeted. We need to stop the indiscriminate killing of civilians. I speak for those without a voice and the vulnerable.

What is happening in Palestine is tragic but the deliberate targeting of Doctors and Healthcare workers who have taken oaths to support and sustain life is not just a War Crime but a crime against the very fabric of what distinguishes humans from other species. Healthcare Workers MUST be protected.

We are all in this together. An assault to Palestinian HCW is an assault to me.

Targetting heathcare in unacceptable. Health services should be granted pull protection and the international comunity muct insist and sanction Israel for it's obvious violations of International law.

Por la humanidad, contra la barbarie, por el respeto a los derechos humanos básicos

It is a moral, ethical duty of all people everywhere to protect children from harm, and to uphold international laws protecting non-combatants from attack. Ordinary people have little individual power over the actions of people and countries that break those laws so we must come together to show the lawbreakers that they cannot do anything they want to hurt anyone they want without the people of the world holding them to account. What is being done by the state of Israel - but not all people of jewish faith - is illegal and violates the very laws that the world devised to protect Jewish people an their human rights after the Holocaust. Human rights are indivisible, if they exist they apply to everyone, including Palestinians, Lebanese and Syrians

I feel strongly that all the provisions and humanitarian safeguards put in place after World War 2 and specifically in response to the Holocaust should be adhered to for ALL people whatever their creed, colour, ideology.

I wholeheartedly support the White Tent Protest and demand governments, institutions and international agencies to
work for a permanent, unconditional, and protected ceasefire and for the immediate release of detained healthcare workers and other civilians, incl Dr Hussam Abu Safiya and for the restoration of Red Cross access and for UN protection for healthcare workers and patients, through the declaration of a genocide emergency, and for the establishment of a humanitarian corridor. I further demand be accountability for violations of international law. Health care institutions and their workers should never be a target.

I’m outraged that the world has allowed the entire healthcare system of a country to be decimated and its healthcare workers killed and abducted. Healthcare is not a target. This needs to stop and international humanitarian law must be upheld

Healthcare workers, patients and healthcare infrastructure are not targets and must be protected.

I stand with the people of Palestine who deserve self determination,freedom,peace and justice.

The destruction of healthcare in Palestine alongside the ethnic cleansing is deeply disturbing and it is of upmost importance that humanity is brought back and that those responsible are held to account.

Emma Cawthorn (2025-01-27)

Every human being, young or old, has a right to healthcare. That Palestinian human beings have been systematically denied that right in a most brutal genocide, is a crime against all Humanity. A permanent ceasefire is urgent. A two-state solution to protect the soverenty of Palestinians & Israeli must be enforced. A big reconstruction effort must immediately begin to bring Hope, and create a future without war. I endorse the Oasis Plan to secure access to water --also a right.

In all if modern history this is the first time I have witnessed a war crime being committed so blatantly towards healthcare institutions, health workers and their patients. The evil regime that perpetrates needs to be dismantled urgently.

It is evident that health care workers and infrastructure have been, and still are, a target. To see the suffering, and the clear & deliberate breach of IHL by Israel is sickening & shameful. The fact that the UK government lets Israel act without condemnation, continues giving military and political support, fills me with shame. This has to stop. Happening in any Western country, these attacks would be labelled terrorist attacks

Jane Kevern (2025-01-28)

I am horrified and outraged by the killing of healthcare workers, the bombing of hospitals and the ongoing genocide of Gaza

As healthcare workers it is our duty to speak up to advocate for freedom and equality which directly correlate with better public health outcomes.

I can see a genocide unfold in front of my eyes.
I'm not a fan of settler colonial projects. I'm Irish, you see

Siyonist netanyahu ve zalim ekibinin göz altına aldığı Dr. Hüssamın hayatında endişe ediyoruz. Savaşın her koşulunda sağlık çalışanlarına el uzatmak yasaklansın. Siyasi askeri kamu baskısı oluştursun. Gazze ehline destek veren yiğit doktorlarımızı selamlarım. İyi ki varsınız.

I made a commitment to protect the sanctity of human life and I will do what I can to stand against genocide and against the destruction of a health care system

The protection of the medical teams and the medical facilities are protected under international law which has been trampled into the dust by the occupation forces of the Israeli regime.

Joe Martin (2025-01-29)

Israel is committing war crimes. Killing health care workers is not self defense. Destroying hospitals is not self defense. Killing civilians is not self defense.

Alice Robinson (2025-01-29)

The attacks on Palestine has been excessive and disproportionate. To bomb and invade hospitals should not be accepted in any circumstances and is an abboration. Patients and staff should be protected and supported, not harassed or attacked.
