A rapidly heating planet, fuelled by an economic system based on perpetual growth and profit; a fragile order of moral norms and human rights collapsing beneath a savage spectacle of slaughter. Glitch. Watching Trump dance…like watching an empire buffer: irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/1…

Long🧵 #COVID19 and where we are. I’m worried. We are entering the 5th year of the pandemic and we are certainly in a different phase. This phase is marked by an evolving virus (with the XBB and BA.2 sublineages circulating and JN.1 becoming dominant). x.com/mvankerkhove/s…
Maria Van Kerkhove@mvankerkhove

JN.1 continues to rise in detection, but what matters to you is that #COVID19 is circulating in ALL countries. You CAN protect yourself from infection and severe disease. Mask, ventilate, test, treat, vaccinate: boost every 6-12 months depending on your risk group. @WHO

New research shows that Ireland had no excess deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic. 🇮🇪😷 The @OECD report shows Ireland was one of only 9 countries to avoid excess deaths, registering the 4th lowest death rate behind New Zealand, Iceland & Norway. 👏 rte.ie/news/coronavir…

Withdrawing funds from @UNRWA is perilous and would result in the collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, with far-reaching consequences in the occupied Palestinian territory and across the region. My @iascch colleagues and I appeal for these decisions to be reconsidered.
Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC)@iascch

We cannot abandon the people of #Gaza Decisions by various Member States to pause funds for #UNRWA will have catastrophic consequences for the 2.2 million people of Gaza. We appeal for these decisions to be reconsidered. #IASC statement 👉bit.ly/42iyMJQ

Politicians are failing us abysmally on the #ClimateCrisis. Can comedians step up and save the day? Watch the heroic Jo Brand give it a proper shot with scientist @ProfMarkMaslin 🔥 If this doesn't prompt revolution, what will? Please share far and wide! #NoNewOil #COP28

Horrified, devastated, speechless. There are no words to express the shock and sorrow we all feel in MSF this moment!
Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières@MSF_canada

We're horrified by the killing of two MSF doctors, Dr. Mahmoud Abu Nujaila and Dr. Ahmad Al Sahar, and a third doctor working with Al Awda, Dr. Ziad Al-Tatari, following a strike on Al Awda Hospital, #Gaza. Full statement here: bit.ly/3MTeKPs

This is unimaginable. This is inhumane. As doctors, humanitarians, human beings, we cannot tolerate this. While we are frightened of what is coming, our only hope is for humanity to prevail.

While commercial actors can contribute positively to health and society, a significant proportion are not. Just 4 industry sectors are responsible for at least 1/3 of global deaths every year: 🚬 Tobacco 🍺 Alcohol 🍔 Unhealthy foods 🏭 Fossil fuels hubs.li/Q01J2gbV0

‘Policy inertia’ is enabling the products and practices of some commercial actors to cause significant, ongoing harm to health, warn experts. A new Lancet Series argues for a bold system overhaul that puts people and planet first: hubs.li/Q01HD8h_0
