Municipality of Gaza Stands in solidarity with PRCS: Urgent call for international intervention
The Municipality of Gaza expresses its profound concern and unequivocal condemnation of the recent threats aimed at Al-Quds Hospital, administered by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS). The imperiled situation now faced by the hospital's medical staff, patients, and approximately 12,000 displaced civilians due to these threats from the occupation authorities is wholly unacceptable.
We fully endorse the urgent appeal made by PRCS for immediate international action to prevent a catastrophe that could result in significant loss of life and widespread suffering. It is crucial for all humanitarian and civil society organizations to come together promptly to safeguard Al-Quds Hospital and its vulnerable occupants.
We call for an immediate cessation of all threats and coercive actions that endanger lives and disrupt the medical services provided by the hospital. The Municipality of Gaza stands resolutely in solidarity with PRCS and is committed to rendering support necessary during this challenging period.
To the courageous heroes of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and AlQuds Hospital: your unwavering dedication shines as a beacon of hope. Your tireless efforts to aid those affected by Israeli military attacks are a testament to your compassion and bravery.
Your resilience inspires us all. Thank you for your relentless commitment to humanity. Stay strong, stay safe, and know that you are making a profound impact in the midst of turmoil.
Sincerely,
Yahya R. Sarraj
Mayor of Gaza
Palestine
