78th WHA Individual Statements

Agenda Item: 
- Item 17.3 Health conditions in the occupied Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem
Statement: 

“We did what we could. Remember us.” These are the words of Dr. Abu Nujaila.
When an occupying power seeks to erase a people, providing care becomes an act of resistance. At the heart of the ongoing violence lies the deliberate destruction of Gaza’s health system. Gaza’s hospitals lie in ruins. The Palestinian people face massive manmade starvation. Their children die preventable deaths as aid is blocked. The military industrial complex and the weapon-making corporations profit from this destruction. Dr. Abu Nujaila was murdered, alongside 1,400 health workers in Palestine. 400 health workers are illegally detained. Stop arming the Occupying Power. End the occupation. Uphold the rights of Palestinians: from the right to health, to the right of self-determination, to the right of return.
