Plea for Peace: A Call to Protect Innocent Lives

The ongoing war between Hamas and the State of Israel has taken a devastating toll on the lives of innocent civilians in the region. The World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA) has taken a bold and responsible step by sending a letter to key global leaders and authorities, including the President of the Security Council, the President of the United Nations General Assembly, the United Nations Secretary-General, the Authorities of Israel and Palestine, Pope Francis, and the Director-General of the World Health Organization, to plead for the health and lives of innocent Palestinian and Israeli civilians, elderly persons, women, men, children, and babies caught up in the fight between Hamas and the State of Israel.

The WFPHA urges the key global leaders and authorities to use all their power, influence, and voice to stop this insane manifestation of pure evil. “We all know that the eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth paradigm will only lead to further loss and suffering. This has to stop. Use your power for this to happen.”

The WFPHA invites member associations, institutions, communities, and individuals to join this call by signing the letter. Together, we stand for peace!
