In a letter to European leaders.. Hollywood stars demand saving Gaza residents

Dozens of Hollywood stars sent a letter to world leaders accusing Israel of systematically destroying the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip as part of a comprehensive path to genocide, and demanding the provision of medical care to the residents of the Strip.

The stars who signed the letter, including Mark Ruffalo, Rosie O'Donnell, and Cynthia Nixon, said that "the Israeli government has systematically undermined the healthcare system in Gaza for more than two decades, and the systematic Israeli attacks on hospitals, and the illegal blockade, have led to the collapse of the health system in the Strip."

The letter, also signed by the mother of the child Hind Rajab, who was killed by Israeli army fire, stated that the Israeli government imposed living conditions aimed at destroying the lives of Palestinians in Gaza, and then deprived them of aid that would save them.

The Israeli occupation destroyed the health system in the Gaza Strip.

The letter demanded immediate and unconditional access for humanitarian aid to the Palestinian Strip, including allowing medical and humanitarian teams to enter Gaza.

The letter, also signed by human rights organizations such as the Israeli organization "B'Tselem" and the organization "Physicians for Human Rights," will be presented to the leaders of Britain and the European Union in parliamentary meetings to be held today, Tuesday, and tomorrow, Wednesday.

It is worth noting that Israel has banned the work of 37 international humanitarian organizations in the Palestinian territories and the Gaza Strip since the beginning of January, depriving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians of vital services they desperately need.

Israel demands these organizations to submit lists of their Palestinian employees for security screening, which the organizations refuse for fear of exposing them to persecution.

The organizations included in the ban include key actors in the sector, such as "Doctors Without Borders," the Norwegian Refugee Council, Care International, "World Vision," and Oxfam.
