The 2.1 million people trapped in the war zone that is #Gaza are facing yet another killer on top of bombs and bullets: starvation.

We demand full access to deliver aid.
We demand the release of all hostages.
We demand a ceasefire.
We demand a political solution.

Peace is the best medicine.

Non só é importante a validez das ferramentas; tamén o é o xeito no que se administran. Aquí comparan os resultados do coñecido cuestionario SF-36 entre a autoadministración e a entrevista telefónica. O "efecto entrevistador" induce maior puntuación.

In Haiti, AMR is an emerging public health threat, but the surveillance system is limited. @MSF observed the prevalence of MDR bacteria in an MSF trauma hospital to increase knowledge on AMR for similar facilities in #Haiti

Is needs assessment still a critical weakness of #humanitarian response?

COVID rates are:
- declining in India, US, most of Europe
- stable & high in Latin America
- rising in sub-Saharan Africa & UK

Why such "random" waves of disease?

It's easy to blame variants, but this doesn't explain variability.

Segregated networks can explain five phenomena.

a good read! soooo well said ⁦@KarstenNoko⁩ : “GAVI, the World Bank and the IMF shouldn’t be surprised by the COVID-19 vaccine inequity and lack of access we’re seeing, and if they are, they need to be much more aware of their own role,” . https://t.co/28hvgWOTEe
