Urgent Health Update: Consequences of the war on Gaza-March 31, 2024
The Jewish Voice for Peace Health Advisory Council is sharing information on the health implications of the attacks. We will update in a week. Please use this information to organize & educate. As the Israeli government threatens an all out assault on Rafah, increasing the risk of further massacres & genocide, starvation is rising & multiple countries move to defund & destroy UNRWA, this is a time to make your voices heard. In particular, current attack on Al-Shifa Hospital requires immediate calls to elected officials and media.
Intense Israeli bombardment & ground operations as well as heavy fighting between Israeli forces & Palestinian armed groups continue to be reported across much of the Gaza Strip, resulting in further civilian casualties, displacement, & destruction of houses & other civilian infrastructure, in particular, health care facilities. Israeli and US disregard for international law and repeated calls from UN bodies for a cease-fire and humanitarian aid, threatens basic agreements about world order and standards of behavior developed post WW 2.

This is Palestine podcast with Dr. Hawash-Kuemmerle
Diana Buttu speaks with Palestinian neurologist Dr. Karameh Hawash-Kuemmerle, about Israel’s deliberate destruction of public health in Gaza and its devastating consequences on Palestinians. In 2023, before Israel’s current genocide, Dr. Hawash-Kuemmerle co-founded the organization “Doctors Against Genocide,” to address Israel’s sharp increase in attacks on Palestinian cities and refugee camps in the West Bank. Once Israel began its brutal campaign in Gaza, it became clear the organization and her work were needed more than ever.
