150 days. For 150 days, our colleagues have bore witness to atrocities and the decimation of health systems in #Gaza.

We need a #ceasefire, now.

Share if you agree.

"The soldiers dug up the graves this morning and dragged the bodies with bulldozers, then crushed the bodies with the bulldozers," said the hospital's head of pediatric services, Hossam Abu Safiya, in a phone interview on Saturday. "I have never seen such a thing before."

So much for “ never again��� huh?

Over 576k #Palestinians face “catastrophic hunger and #starvation” according to a UN report.

Every single person in #Gaza is expected to face malnutrition, disease outbreak and high levels of acute food insecurity in the next six weeks.

We call on Canada's govt to seek urgent implementation of a permanent ceasefire and for Israeli forces to be held accountable under international humanitarian law. @CanadaFP @HarjitSajjan

We Agree: Attacks on hospitals in #Gaza are attacks on humanity and are a clear violations of International Humanitarian Law.

A sustained ceasefire is needed to end the indiscriminate violence and scale up desperately needed humanitarian assistance.

Ceasefire.

[Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières @MSF_canada]

We urgently request that the Canadian Government do everything within its power to achieve an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza. Ending the indiscriminate violence is the only way to prevent more deaths and scale up desperately needed humanitarian assistance.

"This chilling effect on freedom of expression and academic freedom has the hallmarks of a new McCarthyism. A failure of those of us in the legal profession to voice our opposition to this conduct will only accelerate the erosion of the very protections that make dissent – and therefore democracy – possible. It is vital that the space for scholarship, speech and activism in defence of basic human rights be preserved."

We are once again calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Since yesterday, intensified bombing from Israeli forces is causing Northern Gaza to be razed to the ground.

The whole Strip is being hit, civilians have no place to take shelter.

[Leah ProudLakota (she/her) @LeahGazan]

We need a ceasefire.
We need the hostages to be freed.
We need an arms embargo.

And we need to speak out against rising antisemitism, Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism.

I want every "I stand with Israel" person to watch this and ask themselves if they'd be able to look this boy in the eyes and tell him he deserves this.

[Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières @MSF_canada]

Dr. Obeid, MSF surgeon in #Gaza, tells the story of a young boy, who had to go through an amputation "under slight sedation". Today in Gaza, hospitals are overwhelmed with a massive number of patients, while doctors are running out of medical supplies, including anesthetics.
