Global Medical Coalition Demands WMA Suspend Israel Over Gaza Healthcare Destruction
Hundreds of international doctors protested at the World Medical Association (WMA) summit in Rotterdam, demanding the suspension of the Israeli Medical Association (IMA). The campaign, known as IMA Out!, argues the IMA has violated ethical codes by remaining silent while Palestinian healthcare infrastructure was destroyed. They presented a petition with over 6,500 signatures and highlighted the detention of Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, a Gaza hospital director held since late 2024. While Al Jazeera focuses on the immediate protest and ethical breaches, other outlets emphasize the humanitarian crisis and historical parallels of medical solidarity in liberation struggles.
