Over 300 medical professionals in Cape Town gathered in a picket line, demanding an urgent ceasefire and unhindered access to humanitarian assistance for Palestine. The Health Care Workers for Palestine emphasized the importance of allowing hospitals and clinics to function without fear of being targeted and appealed for the sanctity of healthcare to be preserved. Among the protestors was Norwegian doctor Mads Gilbert, who spoke about an alliance of healthcare workers being created to reconstruct the healthcare system in Gaza.
