The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has condemned further attacks on Nasser Hospital.
The attacks on Nasser Hospital are shameful. We are yet again witnessing very deliberate breaches of international humanitarian law in the targeting of hospitals and healthcare workers.
The combination of man-made famine, starvation-induced deaths, and sustained attacks on health facilities illustrates the systematic destruction of an entire society with no accountability. This famine is preventable, and such suffering must never be weaponised.
Our fellow nurses, midwives and healthcare workers in Gaza need immediate international intervention. They are continuing to try to provide life-saving care despite relentless targeting of their workplaces and incredibly difficult prognoses.
Healthcare workers, including nurses and midwives, working in conflict zones must be protected as they try bravely and desperately to sustain life in impossible and dangerous circumstances. Those who target them, their patients, and workplaces must be held accountable and brought to justice.
