Letter to the White House

An open letter from 99 healthcare professionals has called for an immediate end to the ongoing violence in Gaza, which they describe as genocidal, citing severe humanitarian crises including malnutrition, lack of medical supplies, and the targeting of healthcare facilities. The letter emphasizes the devastating impact on children and highlights harrowing personal accounts from those on the ground. Concurrently, criticisms are mounting against Western governments for enabling Israel's actions under the guise of self-defense, with reports indicating that over 40,000 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, have been killed. The letter further argues that the proscription of resistance groups like Hamas and Hezbollah serves to legitimize violence against Muslims and facilitates ongoing aggression. Meanwhile, tensions are escalating with Iran’s missile strikes in response to Israeli actions, including the assassination of high-ranking officials, raising fears of a broader regional conflict. As Israel continues its military operations, the international community faces increasing scrutiny over its role in the crisis.
