Today marks one year of Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza; As #globalhealth & #genderequity movement, we join our regional partners and strongly oppose the deliberate and systematic targeting of healthcare workers and health systems in #Palestine and #Lebanon by the Israeli regime.

Qua sembra che si giochi a Risiko. In realtà ci sono 42mila morti a Gaza, oltre un migliaio di morti in Libano, un milione di profughi, quindi parlare di vittoria o di sconfitta è abbastanza paradossale. Ma facciamo finta che non esistano le vittime e che sia tutto un Risiko:. qual è la strategia di Netanyahu? Lui dice che vuole dare più sicurezza a Israele. Quindi per dare più sicurezza a Israele sta attaccando, bombardando e invadendo tutti i suoi vicini di casa. #OttoeMezzo #Travaglio #Netanyahu

We join the call for a transparent and fair transition for @womeninGH. Nothing for us without us! #OurMovement must remain women led! #WHA77 #WeAreWomeninGH

This is part of the joint response in partnership with @UNHCREgypt and @UnfpaEgypt to equip healthcare workers to provide care to women subjected to #GBV, especially during emergencies including the war in #Sudan.

Funded by the @EUinEgypt, @WHOEgypt @WHOEMRO trained 18 healthcare providers from @CaritasEgypt and @refugeegypt on healthcare for women subjected to violence. #GBV

In a world confronted with multiple emergencies, investing in women is more vital than ever. This includes recognizing their roles as leaders, peacekeepers, and service providers. This is the only way to secure prosperous and just societies, and a better future for all. #IWD2024

Today, the @UN family observed a moment of silence to mourn & honour our colleagues killed in Gaza. Since the start of this conflict, more than 100 @UNRWA staff have lost their lives - the highest number of UN aid workers killed in a conflict in such a short time. They will never be forgotten.

What we witnessed in the last 10 days was an overwhelming overuse of power by the #IDF towards #healthcare workers, #health facilities, patients and #Palestinian civilians. Read our full op-ed decolonizd.com/call-for-real-…
