Statement From NASW on the current situation in Israel

NASW (National Association of Social Workers) Statement on Israel and Gaza War:

“NASW denounces hate and violence, and our association will advocate against bigotry of all forms. The October 7 Hamas attacks in Israel have sent ripples around the world, with Jewish people in the United States and other nations growing even more fearful that antisemitism, which had already been on the rise, will worsen.

Palestinians in Gaza are also facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, with millions of innocent people experiencing hunger, lack of medical care, homelessness, and risk of death as the war between Israel and Hamas intensifies. NASW supports all humanitarian assistance to help those in need.”
