Demand Pediatricians Speak Out for the Children of Gaza

More than 50,000 children have been killed or injured in Gaza since October 2023. Four children were burned to death on July 22, 2026. Major pediatric medical societies in the USA and Europe—organizations that claim to advocate for child health—have remained silent. This campaign demands that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP), Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), and Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) fulfill their moral obligation to speak out. We demand they issue public statements condemning attacks on children and healthcare facilities, call for an immediate ceasefire, demand unrestricted medical evacuation for critically ill children, and support their Palestinian medical colleagues under siege. Their silence is complicity. The children of Gaza cannot wait.
