Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
I am writing with urgency regarding the horrifying escalation of violence against Gaza’s medical facilities. Patients and staff at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza have been described as “soaked in blood” after Israeli forces carried out multiple drone strikes, killing at least 30 Palestinians, including medical staff and patients. The hospital has been under relentless attack, with ground forces storming the facility under heavy artillery fire, forcing the evacuation of already injured and displaced civilians.
The hospital director confirmed that four staff members were killed in the latest attack, while oxygen generators and critical medical supplies were targeted and destroyed. The few remaining surgeons are inexperienced and overwhelmed by the unmanageable number of casualties. Just this week, a 16-year-old boy in a wheelchair was killed by a drone strike, and the hospital’s ICU director, Dr. Ahmed al-Kahlout, was assassinated.
This documented pattern of targeted attacks on healthcare facilities are war crimes. Since Oct 7, hospitals across Gaza have been bombed, blockaded, and raided, exacerbating the intentional humanitarian catastrophe.
The forced evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital aligns with a broader strategy to ethnically cleanse northern Gaza, with civilians driven south into similarly unsafe conditions.
Amnesty International’s recent conclusion cannot be ignored, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The international community cannot continue to turn a blind eye to these atrocities. I call on you to take immediate action.
You must sanction Israel to enforce a ceasefire and hold its leadership accountable for violating international law. Sanctions have proven effective in halting egregious human rights abuses in other contexts; they must be appliedhere. This includes a ban on weapons and military equipment sales and licenses and a two-way trade embargo. We must also officially recognise the state of Palestine to affirm their right to self-determination.
There is no time to hesitate. Act now.
Your constituent,
