UN special rapporteur urges boycott of Israel by medical workers
The United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories has called on the world's medical community to boycott the Israeli regime over its atrocities in the Gaza Strip.
Since October 2023, the Israeli regime forces have been engaged in a campaign of genocide in Gaza.
In a message posted on social media on Sunday, Francesca Albanese called on medical professionals around the world to sever ties with the Israeli regime.
I urge medical professionals worldwide to pursue the severance of all ties with Israel as a concrete way to forcefully denounce Israel's full destruction of the Palestinian healthcare system in Gaza, a critical tool of its ongoing genocide.#FreeDrHussanAbuSafiya https://t.co/qzZ7CqufI6

“I urge medical professionals worldwide to pursue the severance of all ties with Israel as a concrete way to forcefully denounce Israel’s full destruction of the Palestinian healthcare system in Gaza, a critical tool of its ongoing genocide,” Albanese said on X.
The comments reflect growing international concern about the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where hospitals and clinics have been targeted and overwhelmed by relentless violence.
A lack of essential medical supplies, infrastructure damage and the loss of life have left Gaza’s health sector struggling to cope.
Israel has killed more than 45,500 people in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ex-minister of military affairs Yoav Gallan over Gaza atrocities.
