On the 9th December, we held a global conference, EqualHealth´s Campaign Against Racism, Palestine Friend´s International Alliance and Doctors Against Genocide, live from the West Bank. We heard from Dr. Mustafa Al-Qawasmi, Director General of Emergency, Ministry of Health and Nebal Farsakh, Palestine Red Crescent Spokesperson and showed recorded testimonies including a testimony from Dr Hussam Abu Safiya.
From the 9th December, as a global community of health workers, healers and organizers we have watched in horror and pain, the burning of Kamal Adwan hospital with patients and health workers inside , along with the abduction and forced disappearance of health worker comrades including Dr Hussam Abu Safiya and the ongoing decimation of health in every sense. As we have done from Haiti against imperialism, from the colonial borders of Spain in the massacring of migrants, in solidarity with Western Sahara and the occupation, we must continue to globally dismantle racial capitalism and all systems of oppression.
We therefore join Doctors Against Genocide´s campaign Sick from Genocide campaign. We will hold a global vigil in Arabic and English, where we will again go live to the West Bank with Palestine International Friends Alliance (PIFA) for current updates, thereafter we will create a space for grief and then globally make sure people activate their communities around the demands of the campaign. We have known for too long that our world is sick with racial capitalism, the world is sick with multiple genocides and Palestine is our compass for a liberated world.
