We love opera as much as the next person. But amidst multiple intersecting global crises, and with civil society being limited to tiny 60-second interventions in these crucial meetings, we wonder if this is the best use of time at the World Health Assembly. #WHA78 #HealthForAll

As diplomats gathered with World Health Organization (WHO) this week to discuss the health conditions in Palestine, we gathered in the streets of Geneva to mourn the health workers and civilians lost to Israel's genocide on Gaza, and to demand an end to the occupation and to attacks on health care. #WHA78

#NCDs and #MentalHealth are being discussed now at #WHA78 The People's Health Movement believes in community-based primary health care for mental health and NCDs. #Prevention is essential. We call on World Health Organization (WHO) member states to back comprehensive PHC in the tradition of #AlmaAta.

🚨A source close to the Palestinian negotiators tells me Hamas and the U.S. have reached an “understanding” on the terms of a Gaza ceasefire agreement. They emphasized Hamas is still awaiting Israel’s response and that Israel often sabotages these deals.

Genocide theatre: (1) Canada and the West publish sternly worded statements about some aspect of Israel's genocide; (2) Israel announces a change and continues killing; (3) Canada and the West praise Israel for the change and pat themselves on the back for bringing it about.
