"Dozens of artists, including Cynthia Nixon, Mark Ruffalo and Ilana Glazer, have joined with doctors, human rights leaders and humanitarian organizations to call for the immediate restoration of medical care in Gaza in a letter addressed to the state of Israel and world leaders. Israel's systematic attacks on hospitals and unlawful blockade have collapsed Gaza's healthcare system, says the letter, which was shared exclusively with the Guardian. Through its policies and military activities, the government of Israel has deliberately inflicted conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of Palestinians in Gaza and then denied the very help that could save them."
"The first signatory on Monday's letter is the mother of Hind Rajab, a five-year-old girl from Gaza City who was killed by Israeli fire in January 2024 while waiting for a team of Palestinian paramedics whose ambulance was shelled while trying to reach her. Her story has been memorialized in Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania's latest film, The Voice of Hind Rajab, which has been shortlisted for an Academy Award."
Dozens of artists, doctors, human-rights leaders and humanitarian organizations call for immediate restoration of medical care and unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza. They say systematic attacks on hospitals and an unlawful blockade have collapsed Gaza's healthcare system. They allege Israeli policies and military activities deliberately inflicted life-destroying conditions and then denied lifesaving assistance. The first signatory is the mother of five-year-old Hind Rajab, who was killed by Israeli fire while waiting for paramedics whose ambulance was shelled. Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania and other public figures signed alongside Israeli groups B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights. The appeal will be presented to UK and EU leaders.
