The third session in our series of webinars will be looking at the impact of Israels genocidal onslaught on Palestinian health workers and the people of Gaza.
We will hear from a Palestinian trade unionist and health worker who will talk about the situation on the ground and how we can extend our solidarity work with Palestine in the UK.
The mass onslaught on the Palestine people in recent months is highlighting the need for more work in solidarity with Palestinian workers in key sectors who have been particularly affected by the attacks in Gaza, with an unprecedented high level of casualties.
Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza has all but completely destroyed the whole health care system. 2 million Palestinians are now facing an acute shortage of medical care and vital supplies, while facing the prospect of starvation, being denied access to food or safe water.
Join us to find out more about the situation and what you and your trade union can do in solidarity with the Palestinians.
