National Nurses United Reacts to Tragic Loss of Israeli Embassy Aides

The National Nurses United (NNU), recognized as the most extensive union and professional body for registered nurses in the United States, has expressed deep sorrow over the recent murder of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, two aides from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C.

The organization released a heartfelt statement emphasizing their grief and shock at this tragic event. "Nurses are profoundly saddened and horrified by the murders of this young couple who had their whole lives in front of them, and our hearts are with their family and friends over this unimaginable loss," the statement reads. It further underscores the nurses' commitment to their mission of healing and saving lives, while firmly denouncing any acts of violence that result in the loss of life.

In a show of support, the NNU stands with the Jewish community and all groups who live under the threat of violence. The statement highlights that, as nurses, the belief is strong that health cannot be achieved without safety and respect. "We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and all communities living in fear of violence," it continues. The NNU urges the nation to embrace these principles, asserting that "Hate is never the answer."
