(cnr Bridport Road / Williams Avenue)
Health workers and council workers will be showing support for the people of Gaza at Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester on Wednesday 29 November – the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
Twenty five of 36 hospitals in Gaza have ceased functioning and over 200 medical staff have been killed. In Northern Gaza, says the health authority, hospitals are “completely out of service”.
Human Rights Watch, an independent organisation that monitors human rights worldwide, says: “The Israeli military’s repeated, apparently unlawful attacks on medical facilities, personnel, and transport are further destroying Gaza’s healthcare system and should be investigated as war crimes.”
Rob Ferguson of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign in Dorset says: “Doctors, nurses and other medical staff have shown great bravery in continuing to work under bombardment. Our own health workers have participated in many demonstrations of support and now we meet at our own hospital to protest the bombardment and call for a permanent ceasefire.”
The protest on Wednesday meets at 12.00 midday outside DCH at the corner of Bridport Road and Williams Avenue.
Dorchester Protest – Ceasefire Now!
National Day of Action for Palestine
Saturday 2 December, 12 midday
The Town Pump, Cornhill
On Saturday 2 December a further protest for Gaza takes place in Dorchester. Rob Ferguson says: “Our students held a fine march in support of Gaza in Dorchester last week, with participation from several schools. Now we call on all those appalled by the bombardment and destruction to join us in saying that the ‘pause’ in hostilities must become permanent. We want a clear message to our political leaders here in Britain to oppose Israel’s assault on millions of vulnerable people.
“The overwhelmingly majority of victims are civilians. This slaughter must end.”
The Dorchester protest takes place on Saturday 2 December at the Town Pump, Cornhill, 12 midday.
