Call for action to the Dutch Cabinet - Gaza Statement

The FESTMIH Board fully supports the Call for action to the Dutch Cabinet signed by the Dutch healthcare organizations and by several health professionals on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We are deeply concerned of the increasing violation of human rights, of the unacceptable violence and targeting of health staff and infrastructure by the Israeli military forces, and of the blockage of humanitarian aid, including essential medicines, food and water, which will cause further deaths especially of women and children, and will put half a million people at risk of starvation.
