Thank you so much for joining our call to help bring baby milk to Gaza’s newborns, who so desperately need it!
Right now, hundreds of them are fighting to survive. The more of us who speak up, the stronger our call becomes. Help us build the pressure needed to get life-saving milk to these babies. Please take a few moments to share this urgent call with friends and family, who care about this issue.
Thanks again - your ongoing support means so much to us, and the people of Gaza ♥️ |
| Hi, this is Dr. Thaer. I was just about to enter Gaza with life-saving baby milk in my bag - but Israel denied me entry! Now doctors in Gaza sound the alarm: Two newborns just passed away and hundreds more could starve to death any day! The milk that could help save their lives sits at the border, but Israel isn't letting it in. Join our urgent call now and we doctors will take it directly to key governments to pressure Israel to let aid in. | |

Dear Avaaz members, | My name is Thaer Ahmad, I'm a doctor, and I was just denied entry to Gaza – and prevented from bringing the baby milk I had with me and which newborns there so desperately need.
Mothers in Gaza are so malnourished themselves that they can’t give milk to their own babies, and hospitals are running out of life-saving baby milk – because Israel simply doesn’t let it in.
And as you read this, 580 premature newborns in Gaza are at risk of death by starvation. We need to act fast to not let a single one more die!
International pressure helped push Netanyahu to let in limited aid, including a trickle of baby formula. It’s just not nearly enough, and hospitals across Gaza are sounding the alarm!
Add your name now, and Avaaz and doctors like me will take this call directly to key governments: |

| For over a week now, hospitals have been sounding the alarm. Colleagues tell me that they are drastically rationing baby food because there simply isn’t enough. Doctors are performing surgeries without anaesthesia, patients sleep on the floor as there simply aren’t enough beds.
Enough! We need to end this horror and the unimaginable suffering of the children and people of Gaza.
Join our call and we doctors will deliver this call directly to key governments — demanding they ramp up pressure on Netanyahu and impose further sanctions to grant life-saving humanitarian access and end the occupation once and for all. | | Just in these past days, I joined Avaaz and a group of doctors like me, who had been in Gaza, in meetings with key European officials. I even brought along a can of medical-grade formula -- which I had wanted to bring into Gaza, and could not. Many of the officials we spoke to cried when they heard the stories we brought back with us. Help me make sure that it's not just tears, but actions, too.
With hope,
Dr. Thaer Ahmad and the whole Avaaz team | | |
