Additional Information / Shotlist Right now, in Gaza, the situation is catastrophic.

The hospitals and clinics that have not been evacuated are overwhelmed. They are barely functioning. There is no electricity, no medical supplies.

Patients risk their lives either by moving, or by staying behind; in both cases perhaps to die without treatment.

People are trapped, unable to escape. They have absolutely nowhere safe to go.

They’re deprived of essential needs – water, food, protected shelter, medicines.

This is unimaginable. This is inhumane. Basic humanity needs to be restored in Gaza.

The indiscriminate bombing must stop.

People in Gaza need protected spaces, and ways to reach them safely and unimpeded.

They also need clean water, reliable electricity, access to food and healthcare.

For us, and all medical staff in Gaza to work, we need basic guarantees of safety.

As a medical and humanitarian organisation, we want to do so much more. Today this is just impossible.
