Sick from Genocide – Ottawa Protest
January 6 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Join us on Monday, January 6, at 5:30PM to answer the global call from doctors and healthcare workers who are sick of genocide and the continued targeting of healthcare workers and institutions in Gaza.
We have watched in horror as “israel” laid siege to Kamal Adwan Hospital, leaving it nonfunctional. One week ago, the lOF stormed the hospital, forcibly removing all patients – even those on life support-and setting the facilities afire. Patients had to walk with their medical equipment to the Indonesian Hospital as this was the last operational hospital in the North of Gaza. Hospital director, Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, and the remaining Kamal Adwan Hospital staff have vanished into the sinister shadows of the zionist prisons. Now, the occupation is ready to do the same to Al Awda Hospital in Nuseirat refugee camp.
Evacuation orders have been issued and airstrikes are imminent.
The IOF has repeatedly targeted hospitals in the past 15 months, beginning with the bombing of Al Ahli Hospital. Against all odds and with almost no resources, doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers have kept rebuilding the infrastructure needed to give Palestinians in Gaza at least some of the treatment they need. But it is clear that “israel” will not stop until they have completely crippled the healthcare system. We will not let these crimes go unpunished or unseen.
