Dr Swee joined grassroots groups in London
25/04/25 | Dr Swee joined grassroots groups in London responding to the global call out from Gaza to surround US Embassies.
Dr Swee read emotional yet motivating letters she had sent to the directors of the PRCS and Al Ahli hospital, and their response.
She had sent these letters after Israel brutally butchered 15 PRCS paramedics, and destroyed Al Ahli hospital, the only Chritian hospital in Gaza (founded by missionaries) on Palms Sunday.
Israel specifically targetted Paramedics and the hospital to eliminate all possibilities of recovery, healing, and rehabilitation for the population. The sytematic destruction of healthcare is part of Israel’s strategy of genocide, to ethnically cleanse the region as fast as possible and by any means necessary.
The bombing of the only Christian on hospital on the holiest week of the year for Chritians was a sick and cruel act of religious persecution, which Israel have been doing for decades to Palestinian Christians.
