❗️BREAKING❗️Rescuers killed in line of duty. Scenes like this unfold every moment in Gaza, often unseen, largely undocumented. I beg STATES: how much more must be witnessed before you act to stop this carnage? 🔴Break the blockade 🔴Impose an Arms Embargo 🔴Impose Sanctions.
🚨Civil defense teams were targeted by an Israeli airstrike during a live broadcast on Al-Ghad TV, the attack was the second on Nasser Hospital, killing journalist , Reuters photographer Hossam Al-Masry and others.

According to the Watson School of International and Public Affairs in Rhode Island, more journalists have been killed in Gaza than in both world wars, the Vietnam war, the wars in Yugoslavia and the war in Afghanistan combined.

Today, we've written to @DavidLammy calling on the Government to take immediate action to prevent famine in Gaza. As Israel continues their blockade of humanitarian aid, 1 in 5 people face imminent starvation and hospitals are running out of medicines fast.

This is Pope Francis. The Pope who: • Carried his own luggage • Paid his hotel bill after election • Lived in a simple guesthouse His humility was a revolutionary leadership that challenged 2,000 years of Church hierarchy. Here's his story:🧵

I am outraged by the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. I strongly appeal for the ceasefire to be respected, for unimpeded humanitarian assistance to be reestablished and for the remaining hostages to be released unconditionally.

Wasn’t going to post this as can’t be doing with the inevitable comments, but some things are more important Today my Muslim GP trainees were scared to do home visits to our vulnerable housebound patients for fear of their safety - but they put patients first and did them anyway

I am immensely proud that the NHS I work in is one of the most multi-ethnic and diverse organisations in the world. NHS colleagues and emergency workers from many countries and faiths work around the clock to serve every UK community. You have my utmost appreciation and respect.
I’m proud that people from nearly 200 countries work in our NHS. I completely condemn this racist violence and stand with our staff and the communities they live and work in. Thank you to our emergency services who are working hard to keep everyone safe.

Here's a summary of how we used a whole practice approach for chronic pain management. Results are improved quality of life for patients and job satisfaction for clinicians.
Having access to skilled practitioners and organisations helps improve outcomes. Dr Kieran Dinwoodie, gives his perspective on this approach which resulted in a halving of opioid and gabapentinoid medicines and reduced GP visits👉 https://t.co/dYJI0H0OZE

Great to hear #ScottishPatientSafetyProgram praised by leading Swedish expert in WM Health Committee. Introduced in 2007 - safety program cut hospital & post surgical deaths + complications such as pressure sores, sepsis, wound infections, etc. Well done #NHSScot staff!👏👏👏

The devastating Israeli airstrikes that killed @WCKitchen personnel yesterday bring the number of aid workers killed in this conflict to 196 – including more than 175 members of our own @UN staff. This is unconscionable.

Gaza: 85% of the population has been displaced. Nearly 1.4 million people are sheltering in UN facilities, but more than 300 people have died in attacks on these places of refuge. Civilians are #NotATarget. https://t.co/OdX3ByyqfX via @UNOCHA

"If you have to worry about whether you have food for dinner that evening, and for the rent on Friday, you have little space to think about anything else. Such stress can permanently affect the development of your children".

Poverty is literally a matter of life and death for those on the margins, and the government has so far failed to step in, says Michael Marmot, director of the UCL Institute of Health Equity
