DESCRIPTION:Live From Gaza: Doctors Fighting to Spare Thousands of Children From Death 
 by Starvation to Issue Plea in International Zoom Call 
 Thursday.\n\nProviders struggling against catastrophic conditions in 
 northern Gaza while witnessing a child dying every 40 minutes are begging: 
 Let the children eat!\n\nDoctors Against Genocide will host a live public 
 press conference via Zoom call Thursday, May 8, at 12 p.m. EDT to speak 
 about the dire and rapidly deteriorating situation children and other 
 innocent civilians are facing in the ongoing war.\n\nIn Gaza, the World 
 Food Program’s food rations ran out nearly a week ago; the hospitals have 
 less than 24 hours of fuel remaining for respirators and other life-saving 
 medical equipment; and 90% of children are malnourished, as more than 62 
 have died of starvation since blockades ended humanitarian aid. Now, with 
 the threat of an escalated large scale ground invasion, signaling even more 
 violence to come, it is a race against the clock to save innocent 
 lives.\n\nIn response, Doctors Against Genocide – a global coalition of 
 diverse healthcare professionals dedicated to preserving life and human 
 rights – is calling for the public to press political leaders to support 
 urgent, life-saving measures including the release of nutritional and 
 medical aid into Gaza.\n\nOur Call to Action\n\nWe call on the United 
 Nations, world governments, humanitarian institutions, and all people of 
 conscience to:\n\n   •   Enforce a permanent ceasefire\n\n   •   
 Guarantee immediate, unrestricted humanitarian access\n\n   •   
 Investigate and prosecute the use of starvation as a weapon\n\n   •   
 Invoke the Uniting for Peace resolution to bypass Security Council 
 paralysis and end the genocide now\n\n\n
