Ceasefire Needed: Protect Healthcare Facilities in Gaza

The recent bombing of Gaza's only rehabilitation hospital, which has been operational since 1996 and served patients from both Palestine and Israel, is deeply concerning. The attack resulted in the evacuation of paralyzed patients and caused significant damage to the building, estimated at around $3 million. This incident underscores the urgent need for a ceasefire and a reassessment of funding allocations. It is crucial to prioritize the well-being of individuals and healthcare facilities, which should be sanctuaries even in times of conflict. Therefore, it is requested to consider immediate action to halt hostilities and review financial support to Israel. Source: www.democracynow.org/2014/7/18/israel_bombs_gazas_only_rehab_hospital
