This week, more than 40 organisations working on health justice around the globe put out an urgent call to the global health and human rights community. In an open letter, we issued a call to global health bodies, health institutions, professional associations and the World Medical Association (WMA) to take…
Another day, another outrage. That is the inevitable lot of Palestinians in the grim, dystopian wasteland that is Gaza.
