News summary

The British Islamic Medical Association (BIMA) reported a significant rise in racist abuse against Muslim NHS workers amid ongoing far-right riots across the U.K., with healthcare professionals expressing unprecedented fear for their safety. Dr. Salman Waqar, BIMA's president, highlighted alarming incidents, particularly in Belfast and Greater Manchester, where workers were forced to close practices early and avoid home visits. This hostile environment has disrupted healthcare delivery, leading to increased absenteeism and reduced morale among medical staff. The British Egyptian Medical Association (BEMA) echoed these concerns, noting similar experiences of discrimination among its members. In response, healthcare workers of color have taken to social media to counter racist narratives, emphasizing their contributions to society and the harm caused by the riots. The unrest was initially spurred by false claims regarding a violent incident in Southport, which further fueled anti-Muslim sentiment.
