Medical teams in #Gaza are exhausted and urgently need protection and reinforcement.
We’re getting reports of health workers, ambulances and hospitals getting attacked.
No one is safe.
The world must have zero tolerance for atrocities.
#CeasefireNow
#UNRWA: We must never forget the value of UN Charter and the institutions it underpins. This decision is deeply troubling for many reasons – with potential dire impacts on the human rights of those depending on UNRWA’s assistance
#SRHR is core to human dignity, autonomy & security—but all are under threat.
Today, ahead of #WHA77, 3 independent scientific advisory panels to the UN issued a call to action to protect progress & push for accountability.

So privileged to be in Ōtautahi Christchurch to be presenting my research at @mypsanz#PSANZ2024 surrounded by so many incredible academics I look up to
What a privilege to hear from the amazing advocate, scholar and disruptor @DrRoey01 @MollyCentre - the work is urgent for all of us - thank you Yvette @mypsanz#PSANZ2024
Update on Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza: @WHO and partners had to postpone a highly-complex joint mission due to delays. Three prior missions were denied. The hospital remains under siege since 18 March.
100 patients and 50 health workers are reportedly still inside the nonfunctional facility, with hostilities around it. We are extremely worried about their condition and safety.
Repeated denials have not only impeded us from reaching patients but also disrupted other crucial life-saving operations, by diverting limited resources.
We urge Israel to facilitate a safe humanitarian corridor and a better deconfliction system for WHO and partners to support patient transfers.
International humanitarian law is clear: health must not be militarized or attacked. Ceasefire!
Listening to the amazing @AmandaRebar give an amazing keynote at #ASBHM2024 and gently give us ECRs a gee up to be more confident in the room 😅 I love this scientific community so much.
BREAKING: The High Court has ruled that it is unlawful and unconstitutional for the Australian Government to detain people indefinitely in immigration detention.
Joint statement with @KaldorCentre 👇https://t.co/RNGNrAjOF1
I was asked if I was prepared for a “No” result; I said we already live in “No”. We’ve been told “No” for 200+ years. The High Court told Yorta-Yorta “No” in 2002; I was there. I’d sooner try “Yes” or even, “Of Course”.
@mhdksafa 10yr-old me flew unaccompanied Alice Springs to Adelaide, next to a couple in their 60s from Texas who were on Australian holiday. They were so friendly and nurturing - calming me after saying goodbye to my dad who lived 1000 miles away. 25 yrs later I still think of them often!
PhD students in Australia earn below poverty wages. I wouldn't have survived without my partner's income, and being single or lacking family-support shouldn't be a reason not to do a PhD!
