Our College community is deeply disturbed by the tragic events that continue to occur in Israel and Gaza.

On behalf of our Fellows, Members, trainees and staff, I express our personally felt compassion and sympathy for all those affected. Our thoughts are with our health professional colleagues who work to care for those who have been harmed by violence, as well as by the wider humanitarian crisis.

We recognise that a sustained effort will be required from the healthcare community to support and care for all those people and families who are displaced and suffering.

If you would like to support the humanitarian and healthcare efforts being made on the ground, our College directs our Fellows, Members, trainees and staff to the following organisations who are operating in the area and providing much-needed aid to those in need.

Médecins Sans Frontières https://www.msf.ie

Irish Red Cross: https://www.redcross.ie
