"As Israel's 15-month annihilation of Gaza continues with intensified attacks on medical infrastructure and workers, an international coalition of advocacy groups is planning a #SickFromGenocide global day of action on Monday 'to take a stand against the targeted attacks on healthcare.'

"Organizer Doctors Against Genocide (#DAG) and co-sponsors including #HealthcareWorkersForPalestine, #PalestinianYouthMovement, #DoNoHarmCoalition, #LaborForPalestine, #JewishVoiceForPeace Health Advisory Council, and others are calling on healthcare workers around the world to take a day of mental health leave 'to reflect on the immense moral injury of funding a genocide and engage the most important aspect of treatment: publicly demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza.'

"Monday's day of action is set to include a '#SickFromGenocide' global vigil and pop-up clinics in cities across the United States, whose government gives Israel billions of dollars in weapons support each year.

"'For 15 months, we have watched in horror as children and families have been obliterated by unrelenting attacks,' DAG said in a statement Friday. 'Hospitals, the bedrock of lifesaving care, have been turned into death traps. The recent bombing and burning of #KamalAdwanHospital and the arrest of our colleague, the pediatrician Dr. #HussamAbuSafiya,exemplify the deliberate targeting of healthcare workers and facilities—tactics designed to accelerate the annihilation and forced displacement of the Palestinian people in Gaza.'"
