Public Announcement
October 18, 2023We strongly condemn Israel's horrifying attacks that target the lives of the injured and civilians in hospitals, disregarding humanitarian values and international law. These ruthless actions have deeply wounded the conscience of humanity. Hospitals are sacred places that nurture hope for recovery, save lives, and alleviate suffering. However, with these recent attacks, Israel has once again betrayed humanity.
Hospital attacks constitute a blatant violation of international law and a disregard for human rights. Innocent people should be protected from such horrifying assaults, and access to healthcare services should not be obstructed. The Israeli government's actions clearly demonstrate a lack of respect for the international community and a disbelief in the pursuit of peace.
We call on the Israeli government to put an end to such atrocities. The protection of innocent civilians and the assurance of the safety of hospitals are the shared responsibilities of the international community. We call upon research institutions and the academic community to strongly urge Israel, with a powerful statement, to immediately cease such attacks and adhere to international law.
Our prayers are with those who have lost their lives in Gaza, and we fervently wish a recovery for the injured ones.
