We continue to be outraged and heartbroken over the escalating military activity in the area of the Gaza Strip.

With Israel’s most recent bombing attacks and killings of civilians, noncombatants, innocent men, women, and children, with the majority being women and children (literally blown to pieces). This is in addition to the mass displacement that continues to add compounded devastation to the lives of highly vulnerable families, children, etc.

So many, too many civilian deaths, injuries, and those who have become sick, for various reasons as a result of the imposed, massive humanitarian crisis. In a time of warfare and great suffering it is essential that emergency healthcare services are maintained to treat the injured and the dying.

We appeal to our American government, President Biden and to the Israeli forces to stop the violence, stop the killing,
stop the maiming, and put an end to the targeting of civilians and all vulnerable people.

We demand all parties agree to an immediate ceasefire.
