The people of Palestine have been under attack by the Israeli occupying forces (IOF) for many decades. The IOF has repeatedly violated the principles of international humanitarian law contained in the Geneva Convention that prohibits eviction and displacement of populations in occupied territories. Palestinian and international human rights organisations have widely denounced the unwillingness of the IOF to comply with the UN guidelines and international regulatory provisions.
The IOF has never respected the provisions regarding providing healthcare as outlined in the Geneva Convention. According to the Convention, it must provide healthcare, including vaccines, to Palestinians as an occupying power. Violation of this fundamental right continues despite the raging Covid-19 pandemic.
PHM has always stood in solidarity with the people of Palestine in their struggles and fights. We salute the Palestinian people’s resistance and resilience.
