Ease the Blockade on Healthcare in Gaza
Target: Sallai Meridor, Ambassador of Israel to the United StatesSponsored by: Care2.com
Nael al Kurdi was a student by day and sold falafel at night. When he was diagnosed with cancer, he traveled from Gaza to Egypt for treatment. But once the blockade was put in place, even though Nael petitioned the Israeli authorities repeatedly, he was not allowed to leave Gaza. He died as a result - he was only 21.
This story comes from a recent article by the BBC that describes life in Gaza as an "open prison". The territory's almost compete isolation is:
- destabilizing the food supply so that an increasing number of children suffer from malnutrition;
- endangering lives due lack of access to medical care and supplies; and
- creating shortages of fuel and electricity so that outages are common and hospitals experience power cuts for 8-12 hours a day.
The situation in Gaza is incredibly dire - surely there is a way for Israel to see to its security needs without creating a humanitarian and human rights tragedy! Tell Israel to ease restrictions for medical travel and supplies!

A blockade is another form of enforcing slavery and servitude upon a sovereign nation. Might does not make right! Remember, what one does will follow them into eternity as well as what one does not do!

Healthcare should be easily available to everyone who needs it, regardless of location, economics, and nationality/religion. |
