Empathy and Solidarity with Critical Care Nursing Colleagues and all heathcare workers in Israel and Gaza.

The European federation of Critical Care Nurses associations wants to take a moment to express its deepest empathy and unwavering support for our colleagues in Israel and Gaza, who are currently working under the difficult conditions of war.

As healthcare professionals, we understand the immense pressure, emotional toll, and physical demands that come with providing critical care, even in the most peaceful of circumstances. However, the added burden of doing so in the midst of conflict is something that most of us can only imagine.

We want you to know that we stand with you, united in solidarity across borders during these challenging times. Our thoughts are with you and your patients and all affected human beings in your area, and we hope for a quick and peaceful resolution to the conflict.

With heartfelt empathy and solidarity

the EfCCNa family
