Rabih El-Chammay (MoH Lebanon) powerfully states what has to be said - that there is no mental health without peace, no peace without justice, and no justice without [upholding] international law. The #MHForum2024 room erupts in applause and heartfelt solidarity.
I just called my family. They haven't eaten since yesterday. My six-week-old nephew is crying because there is no milk( his mother trying to survive him as long as possible); his mother only has enough for three more days. People are desperately crying out for just bread. This is happening in 2023, in full view of the civilized world.
“We were standing inside the hospital gate when the ambulance was directly hit in front of us. There were bloody bodies everywhere. Many were killed immediately, while we rushed others to the operating room for emergency care,” says Dr Obaid, MSF doctor at Al Shifa hospital.
Civilians are not collateral damage.
Patients are not collateral damage.
Health staff & health facilities are not collateral damage.
Children, women & men sheltering in health facilities are not collateral damage
International Humanitarian Law must be respected.
