ππ€ Stand for Solidarity with the Victims of Gaza War π€π
The Young Doctors Association at Jinnah Hospital Lahore is compelled to address the alarming situation unfolding in Gaza. It is with great sadness that we witness the ongoing humanitarian crisis inflicted upon the people of Gaza by the terrorist organisation of Israel, a crisis that violates international laws and goes against the principles of humanity.
The recent attacks have not only resulted in the loss of innocent lives and widespread devastation but have also targeted healthcare facilities. It is with deep concern that we condemn the deliberate attacks on hospitals, which are meant to be safe spaces for healing and care. Such actions undermine the very essence of our shared humanity and disregard the fundamental principles of international law.
Moreover, the cutting down of electricity and water supply in Gaza has further exacerbated the already challenging situation, making it extremely difficult for healthcare professionals to provide adequate medical assistance. The basic necessities required to sustain a functioning healthcare system have been severely compromised, leaving the people of Gaza in a state of vulnerability and despair.
We strongly condemn these actions that blatantly violate international laws and call for an immediate end to the attacks on hospitals, as well as the restoration of essential services like electricity and water supply. The right to access healthcare is a basic human right, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that this right is protected for every individual, regardless of their circumstances.
Let us unite our voices in demanding justice, peace, and respect for human rights. By raising awareness, advocating for change, and supporting organizations working on the ground, we can contribute to the restoration of normalcy and the provision of essential healthcare services in Gaza.
Together, we can make a difference and stand in solidarity with the victims of the Gaza War. Let us work towards a world where peace, justice, and the respect for human rights prevail.
With hope and determination,
Dr. Smawar Mand
