This is an attack on healthcare, the very same healthcare that can become a bridge to peace. The journey ahead is arduous and long, yet may quality and accessible #PalliativeCare and healthcare be in #Gaza once again. Please do not stop talking about #Cease_fire_In_Gaza_Now

Incredibly proud and inspired by Merain Hammad and her colleagues. In the midst of such horrors in Gaza, they are providing psychological support for women with cancer. This shows true courage, deep compassion and stubborn hope. Sending our love, our solidarity and our prayers.
