The #ClimateCrisis is a health crisis. And it’s not a hypothetical crisis in the future. It’s right here and right now. The health gains from climate mitigation and adaptation outweigh the costs and are a compelling argument for stronger #ClimateAction. We thank #WHA77

Proud of my colleague @ChinthikaP advocating for children’s health affected by the climate crisis.

This is a very powerful read. I know this isn’t unique to Paediatrics but I’m very proud that a paediatrician has the courage to share this. We absolutely must normalise talking about distressing cases and how they make us feel ⁦RCPCH⁩ bmj.com/content/385/bm…

During a football game in Israel, fans raised a sign that reads “Israeli child worth more than Palestinian one” FIFA Israeli fans themselves are giving you evidence of the genocide being committed in Gaza.

These are the screams of women and children sheltering in tents in a hospital courtyard in Deir al-Balah as Israel rained bombs on them while they were sleeping. This is #genocide 2.0, executed while the eyes of the world is shifting from #Gaza.

There was a whole period when well regarded British commentators insisted Israel would never target civilians, never attack a hospital, and were offended at the suggestion. They have blithely moved on to other matters.

Today, a violent mob has gathered outside Ahmadiyya Hall in Karachi’s Preedy area after Friday prayers, chanting anti-Ahmadiyya slogans. The incident began as Ahmadis had assembled for prayers. Further details to follow.

🔴Today, The BMA, International Child Health Group, MSF and others have written to the Government impressing the need to urgently act on Gaza medical evacuations plan, avoiding any further delays. Every minute of inaction increases the risk of a child selected for treatment in the UK dying. 1/3
