Oct 13, 2023 Statement from Crohn's and Colitis Canada As many around the world, we are horrified by the devastating attacks in Israel committed by Hamas last weekend. Our thoughts and hopes are for the safety and protection of all innocent civilians and for stability in the region as quickly as possible. As an organization focused on improving the quality of life of people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, and who values inclusivity, we stand against terrorism, antisemitism and all forms of hate and discrimination. We send a message of compassion and support for everyone impacted. For those affected by inflammatory bowel disease, please know you are not alone. If you are experiencing mental health challenges or stress-related flares, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada provides a number of resources to support you.
