🚨Yesterday, Israeli forces targeted tents sheltering displaced people in the so-called “safe zone” of Al Mawasi, reportedly killing 21 people including 13 women.

This is the second attack on the “safe zone” since Sunday, with no meaningful action taken to prevent attacks. (1/6)

Celebrating 16 years of the Convention on Cluster Munitions, recent civilian harm underscores the urgent need for all countries to join the treaty. HRW’s latest report highlights this reality. #banclusterbombs

Scarlett Wong spent three weeks in Gaza for MSF International.

She saw children become 'frozen' from starvation.

But it was the final messages from her colleagues to the world outside that haunts her.

'Tell everybody, thank you. Tell them ... we love life.'

Please share. We need to have members of these Colleges emailing and calling their peak bodies and asking them to speak up. Obviously many already have but they need to know neutrality around genocide is not an option. #auspol Medical Association for Prevention of War

Great to see #publichealth students act in the interests of public health! Aside from the current devastation of🇵🇸, 🇮🇱 occupation has created gross health inequities through denying resources, blocking access, destroying health infrastructure and more.

Glia's emergency response medical teams are confined to quarters today after failing to get from our residence to hospitals and clinics in Tal Al Sultan, Rafah. All of our work locations are under attack: Indonesian Field Hospital, Tal Al Sultan Clinic and Emirati Hospital. A 🧵

“I am writing this as my medical team and I have reached the breaking point of physical and emotional endurance!”

What has been asked of Gaza’s medical staff is beyond comprehension. A global health community that cannot meaningfully stand for them stands for nothing.

🚨 #Gaza update:

🔴Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah has been forced out of service after an Israeli tank attack outside the hospital killed two medical staff.

🔴There are now only 16 partially functioning hospitals.

🔴Around one million people have now been forced to flee Rafah.

Thanks Croakey News for continuing to cover health, medical calls for justice, protection of life in #gaza

Mere days after the ICC applied for arrest warrants for Israeli PM and Defence Minister, they defied these calls by dropping bombs on displaced families while they slept in tents.

It's unacceptable for Australia to continue supporting a genocidal state.

While Israeli govt calls #Rafah attack a 'tragic mistake” it is consistent with 🇮🇱 disregard for legal norms + misuse of humanitarian measures. We stand with our colleagues in #Gaza who are responding to this atrocity whilst themselves under attack.

A message from a doctor in Gaza to all the brave students around the world who are taking a stand for the Palestinian people.

.Australian Centre for International Justice, @humanrightshrlc & Amnesty International Australia 🕯 have called on the AusGov to confirm Australia's support for the ICC & to strongly condemn remarks that encourage political interference & promote a culture of impunity. Read our letter here below.

Horrific Israel attack on #Rafah conforms to a pattern of egregious misuse of humanitarian measures. Civilians forced to 'evacuate' to 'safe zones' are not protected - as they should be under law - but targeted. #Rafah UnderAttack‌

A lethal massacre is unfolding against displaced civilians near the UNRWA logistics base in Tal Al-Sultan, located in the western part of Rafah. Israeli aircraft have shelled several tents in this area, resulting in numerous martyrs and casualties. Many have been transported to

“Unfortunately, when they knew that I am a doctor and general surgeon, they treated me more badly”

Utterly devastating article in The Intercept documenting Israel’s systematic targeting & abuse of Palestinian medical personnel - take the time to read in full.

APAN demands that the Australian Government takes decisive action to enforce the International Court of Justice’s order for Israel to cease its offensive in Rafah and end its genocide in Gaza.
