The @thecsp has finally listened to its members. We should however call out the blatant lies in this article. Having pushed neutrality for a year, there has been NO consistent call for a ceasefire. An attempt to re-write its history.

[Helen Ricketts @oncphysio]

Thrilled to have to opportunity to speak at the @OUTpatientsUK conference and share our work supporting people living with and beyond cancer @geshNHS

Date is in the diary!

We must suspend all arms exports to Israel immediately.

Why this is still up for discussion, while civilians continue to be brutally killed, is simply incomprehensible.

The murder and destruction in Gaza and beyond, is morally reprehensible and sickening.

[Rachael Moses @NHSRachaelM]

Al Shifa is the heartbeat of Gaza City. Remembering my first visit in 2017 and the impact it had on me. This is the old rehab unit on Al Shifa site, now destroyed but physios continuing to work in whatever capacity they can. Inspirational.

Gosh what a day!! Coffee morning @geshNHS is always the best day. We topped last year’s total already. This was down to our amazing volunteers, support works and CNS who handed out cake, raffle tickets and support. @macmillancancer so much gratitude and love for your work today!

[Rachael Moses @NHSRachaelM]

Big thanks to @BreasMedical who donated 4 Clearway cough assist devices to support the Ukrainian war rehabilitation programme

It was an honour to carry out teaching & handover devices to military & rehab facilities

Special thanks to the UK physios who have supported 🙏🏼🇺🇦🧵

@oncphysio and I just donated, please read Noor’s story (her husband is an Physiotherapist we know).

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

Just Tragic.
#Gaza
Six @UNRWA colleagues killed today when two airstrikes hit a school and its surroundings in Nuseirat in the middle areas.
This is the highest death toll among our staff in a single incident.
Among those killed was the manager of the UNRWA shelter and other team members providing assistance to displaced people.
Sincere condolences to their families and loved ones.

This school has been hit five times since the war began.
It is home to around 12,000 displaced people, mainly women and children.
No one is safe in Gaza
No one is spared.

Schools and other civilian infrastructure must be protected at all times, they are not a target.
We call on all parties to the conflict to never use schools or the areas around them for military or fighting purposes.

#CeasefireNOW

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

Stop talking about "safe zones" in Gaza. There are only killing zones.

Gaza has been turned into hell on earth. Israel is now killing, quite literally, with impunity.

How many more massacres do we need to witness until those responsible are put on trial for war crimes?

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Children in #Gaza are receiving much-needed #polio vaccines today.

Ultimately, the best vaccine for these children is peace.

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

There are no excuses for delaying action to protect Palestinians in #Gaza.

Since the new UK Government came to power on 4 July Israeli forces have killed over 2,400 Palestinians and injured more than 6,000.

🔴 Take action now: https://t.co/yCOIY0n7ab

[Will Ricketts 💙 🕊️ @tb_doc]

Since October I have cycled >240km/month to raise funds & awareness for the humanitarian work of @MedicalAidPal in #Gaza.
As the conflict enters its 12 month the humanitarian crisis becomes greater and greater. Please consider donating.

[Rachael Moses @NHSRachaelM]

Over 10,000 children in Gaza have suffered at least one traumatic limb amputation in the last 11 months

94,000 injuries

2/3 rehab hospitals destroyed

At least 50 Physiotherapists killed

For professions based on humanity we should never be silent about this #CeasefireNOW 🕊️
