Vermont Healthcare Workers Rally for Palestine

Description

From the organizers:

As of April 2nd, Israel has conducted 435 attacks in Gaza, targeting hospitals and health care workers. Only 28 hosptials and 30 primary care facilities remain even marginally functional, while an estimated 8,000 patients need medical evacuation (Abboud 2024). UNICEF estimates 1,000 children in Gaza have become amputees since October, the biggest cohort of pediatric amputees in history (Griswald 2024). And as Israel continues to block UN aid, including food and medical supplies, The World Peace Foundation says "We are about to witness in Gaza the most intense famine since the second World War" (Abboud 2024). The current miltary incursion into Rafah will only worsen the medical apartheid (WHO 2024).

Nurses, doctors, physical therapists, mental health conselors, medical students, and other health care workers come together to declare our solidarity with the people of Palestine. As people dedicated to the health and well-being of humanity, we abhor the genocide our government funds and enables in Gaza.

Organized by the Vermont Health Care Workers for Palestine.
