Greetings …

Throughout history, the world has experienced  many crises, many of them  were mentioned in history and others quoted from divine books.

With the passing of time, wars, epidemics and diseases have resulted in catastrophes and loss of life of millions of people across the globe.

Earlier human calamities proved that solutions are not fragmented, and that consequences of tragedies that  afflict people in one country are transmitted to other countries, whether epidemics or wars, even if in different proportions and that humanity survived only after maintaining its solidarity to eliminate disasters.

The new Corona virus (COVID-19) and its spread globally, makes it imperative on us to prove ourselves and maintain humanitarian solidarity to end its spread, especially after many developed countries have failed to ward off its dangers from their citizens by all used means.

It has become clear for the world and humankind that the pre-epidemic  era is not the same as after it .

If we want this world and humanity to survive , we must work with the merits of our humanity, through solidarity among peoples and nations to overcome challenges created by the emerging virus.

For all of that , world countries must work for a new humanitarian contract , according to which peoples and countries should join hands away from politics and economic politicization.

Accordingly, we ask in this urgent appeal for the cessation of all blockade measures and economic, medical and health sanctions imposed on all countries affected by the said measures, including the development of mechanisms and programs for prevention, detection and reduction of the emerging virus (COVID-19) through cooperation among all countries and the exchange of medical and scientific expertise , so as to contribute to the elevation  of mankind and humanity through providing the right to life for all.
