Jews for Justice for Palestinians is collecting donations - via the British Shalom-Salaam Trust - for the Physicians for Human Rights-Israel Emergency Appeal for Medical Supplies for Gaza (over £7,000 raised so far) and the Gush Shalom Relief Convoy to Gaza

European Jews for a Just Peace are now asking health professionals to sign their letter to WHO. You will already know of the threat by Israel to cut off water and electricity to the Gaza Strip. You probably also know already of the severe restrictions placed on the movement of food, medical and hospital supplies. The consequences of these threats could lead to a health catastrophe, as the letter below points out.

It is addressed to the heads of the World Health Organisation. We will also be sending copies of the letter to the International Committee of the Red Cross, Medecins Sans Frontieres, Doctors Without Borders and Medico International asking them to join this call. A copy will also go to the Israeli Medical Association.

If you are a health professional, please add your name (reply to this email) and invite others to sign it (they should also reply to jfjfp@aol.com )

Once we have the signatures, we will send the letter and release it to the press.

Details should be in the format: Name - Institution or organisation - Town (country)
Eg: Dr Paola Canarutto - Hospital S. Giovanni Bosco - Turin (Italy)

Please reply by noon on Friday 11th January 2008

This is not about terrorism, not about territory, it is not even about the peace process. It is simply that we are not prepared to suspend our commitment to human rights stand by and see people die of starvation and preventable disease.
