We unequivocally condemn the Israeli government’s ban on humanitarian organisations, including Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), alongside other aid organisations. This is a ban on doctors, nurses, and humanitarian workers who are providing essential medical support. In the context of ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, deliberately blocking medical human resources amid mass suffering, as outlined by the joint statement issued by the British government this week, is an act of extreme inhumanity and a grave violation of fundamental human rights and international obligations.
