"WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GAZA IS A MASSACRE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT; WORLD LEADERS MUST ACT"

A Sri Lankan medical professional, A Pradeep international organisation Doctors without Borders, has called on all world leaders including the Sri Lankan government to lobby for a ceasefire in Palestine and push for the access of urgent humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people.

Pradeep who served in a hospital in Gaza from December to June this year says the condition in Gaza is nothing less than a 'catastrophe' and a 'massacre' happening in broad daylight as children, women and men are being killed daily in the bombings.

"I see some positive responses globally as more information is now coming out.

But the people in Gaza are waiting for you to do something because they have lost their voice. They want the world to stop this genocide and want the world to do something to stop their suffering," Pradeep said.

"No humanitarian aid is reaching the Gaza population. Air strikes are wiping out families. When you enter Gaza you go through the rubble and nothing is spared from the bombing. Houses, hospitals, community centers, schools, universities, it is all bombed. It is a huge destruction. I have seen people suffering and suffocating while they're displaced. We are talking of two million people stuck in a small piece of land. And these people need urgent access to food and medicines," Pradeep said.
