We strongly denounce the Israeli airstrikes that hit a camp sheltering people on 26 May in Rafah. After the attack, 180 wounded & 28 dead were recorded at the Trauma Stabilisation Point we support in Tal al Sultan, Gaza. Patients we treated had traumatic injuries & burns👇1/3

The PRCS paramedics Haitham Tubasi and Suhail Hassouna were killed as a result of the Israeli occupation's direct bombing of a Palestine Red Crescent ambulance in the Tal Sultan area, west of #Rafah, while they were performing their humanitarian duty. #NotATarget❌

🔴UPDATE: Israel’s offensive in Rafah has forced the closure of an MSF primary care centre in Al-Mawasi. This is the second health facility we have been forced to close this week and another step in Israel’s systematic dismantling of Gaza’s health system. Since February, we have

Kudos ACEM for this statement: Emergency doctors and nurses call for ceasefire acem.org.au/News/June-2024… Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President RACGP how do we add our voice? There are now members who are thinking of dropping their RACGP membership over the college's silence.

It was a long road for ACEM to arrive at this statement, but I am grateful and proud that our college (with CENA, NZNO and CENNZ) is the first college to speak meaningfully on Gaza. Silence is a political act, and this is our lane. #NotATarget acem.org.au/News/June-2024…

I had some reticence initially, probably due to fatigue after a difficult year, but the passion and drive of the women with me and in this essential conversation have lifted me up and I’m now super excited for the sequel:) #Wanel2 #thisisourlane eventbrite.com/e/every-storm-…

In Nov. 2023, intense shelling in #Gaza prevented thousands of Palestinians from safely leaving Al-Shifa Hospital. In April 2024, the MSF team restarted the clinic. The team never stopped treating patients during what they describe as the most difficult days of their lives.

We are outraged and strongly condemn the killing of our colleague, Fadi Al-Wadiya, in an attack this morning in Gaza City. The attack killed Fadi, along with 5 other people including 3 children, while he was cycling to work, near the MSF clinic where he was providing care.

Kudos to these thoughtful, active medical (and legal!) women speaking about difficult advocacy and representation. Healthcare should not be a target. Not in #Gaza, not ever. Children should not be a target. Not in #Gaza, not ever. Dr Ruth Mitchell FRACS (she/her/ella) Natalie Thurtle Kristin Boyle

Thank you Alison Barrett for this excellent report on our panel in Melbourne on how to have the courage to converse as a profession and hold space for others. #thisisourlane #silenceispolitical

I had a little cry watching the news tonight. Thousands of people marching through their towns in solidarity all over the country against the people who would seek to divide us. As someone who arrived in the UK as a child refugee it means everything to see this allyship.
