“Within the first five days we had seen more than 500 people,” said Dr Inglis. “It’s been pretty much fully operational for the last three or four weeks and the numbers of people being treated are escalating.”
“We need the killing to stop.”

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

The lack of engagement from medical colleges on this health and human rights issue has been a source of disappointment for many. Very pleased to see @acemonline @NursingCENNZ and other ANZ emergency care groups strongly advocating for an enduring ceasefire https://t.co/pvCM6R8a7v

#BREAKING 🚨 David Pocock senator David Pocock has called for Australia to cut all military ties with Israel and sanction government and IDF figures

“Future generations will ask why we didn’t do more…to stop this mass killing of civilians”

Highly worth watching National Press Club. Jennifer Tierney and Dr Christos Christou are incredibly composed and most authentic in their role as health advocates, inspiring me with their lens for future conversations. @MSFAustralia

Silence does not meet our ethical obligations as medical orgs. It long has not. Orgs need to embody their core values. These are first, other responsibilities and complexities are second. Please sign and share. Courage.

Thank you to @Turtle1doc for an emotional and eye opening talk today as well as @drruthmitchell for hosting and the team from @NoWEmergMed

A brilliant ”wanel” of medical & surgical experts & their tireless commitment to human rights & social justice

Thank you from the UK 🕊️

[Natalie Thurtle @Turtle1doc]

Thank you everyone for tonight. I understand how fraught it is for our professional orgs to engage, how the legitimate competing priorities can paralyse us, how our medical leaders can be overwhelmed and frightened into silence; but this remains our lane, let us not be silent.

[Adelaide @adelaide_pratt]

Healthcare workers and medical colleges must speak when healthcare is under attack. Sharing this letter written by @acemonline colleagues calling on our college to act. The silence is deafening. Read, consider signing, & share widely #notatarget #gaza https://t.co/tLKe1rTyuc

[Natalie Thurtle @Turtle1doc]

It's hard to see the light, but today it is bright.

We just finished the panel pre-meeting for this. I think this (wanel) is going to be incredible, and a step forward for the discourse. Join us if you can - 16th May 7pm.

[Dr Ruth Mitchell (she/her/ella) @drruthmitchell]

It has been important here at #RACS24 to talk about #Gaza as doctors and surgeons, including the targeting of hospitals and healthcare professionals. If you want to hear what @Turtle1doc was going to say at the @acemonline about working in Gaza, join this upcoming event in Sydney and online. https://t.co/vqxpPFvKBf

[Dr Ruth Mitchell (she/her/ella) @drruthmitchell]

Hearing from Dr Ruba Harfeil, a Palestinian Kiwi GP, and remembering the at least 496 healthcare workers that have been killed in #Gaza including Dr Adnan Al-Bursh, who was head of orthopaedics at Al-Shifa hospital. #RACS24

[Ellen Meyns she/her @NoWEMEllen]

How do we speak without inflicting violence on each other, how do we remain engaged, and not cancel the conversation through fear.

Let’s progress this difficult conversation, we have to.
Come get your ticket if you don’t have one already…

"We're having a lot of issues being able to show and provide care in a meaningful way because of the resumption of the bombing. It's a narrow space to be trying to provide healthcare [in #Gaza]." - Dr. Natalie Thurtle, our Medical Coordinator in Jerusalem. @RosieBarton @CBCNews
