The Medical Staffs in Gaza Strip Appeal the World



During the last few days, the continuous barbaric Israeli attacks has been
stringently increased, which increase the burden on the medical staffs in
Gaza Strip.



The Israeli occupation continue the war against our armless people using
missiles, tanks, Apatchi gunships and F16. Targeting overpopulated areas at
the most overcrowded time of the day, which causes the large no. of martyrs
and injured. Moreover, the Israeli occupation uses the pin bombs that
widely affect the people and duplicate the no. of victims (from them 80
children and 30 women). To reach 200 injured and 37 martyrs in 48 hours.

Responding to this critical situation, the Palestinian medical
organizations working in the emergency field declared the high emergency
case. To cope with the increasing no. of injured people.

In the same time, we hear the strongest condemn terms from the US
government and      Mr. Kofi Annan - the general secretary of the United
Nations - when one Israeli soldiers injured, we are choked by the
carelessness about hundreds of killed and injured of the Palestinian
people. Here we refuse and caused the double standard criteria of both US
and Mr. Annan.



The Union of Health Work Committees (UHWC) clearly noticed the total bias
of the international regime for Israel and dealing with the Palestinian
from racial view point. But also we strongly believe in the world people
support for our people.



Here, we appeal all the popular movements, humanitarian and human rights
organizations to:

1)                 Condemn the Israeli barbaric attacks on the Palestinians
people.

2)                 Condemn the doubled standard policy of both US
government and Mr. Kofi Annan.

3)                 Demand an intentional protection for the Palestinian
people. At least the injured people rights to receive a convenient medical
treatment in the convenient time.

4)                 Stop the Israeli measures that obstacle the medical
staff missions in the hot areas and preventing them from offering the
medical services for the injured people.

5)                 Urgent and direct support for the medical and health
NGOs to continue in serving our needed people.



As it is so difficult to treated the medical case abroad, we appeal the
specialist to volunteer in Gaza Strip, specially the following specialists:

1)                 Neuro-Surgery.

2)                 Cardio Surgery.

3)                 Vascular Surgery.

4)                 Re-constructive Surgery.

5)                 Ophthalmic Surgery.

6)                 Emergency Nursing.
