SUMMARY:Palestine\, Health and the Limits of Humanitarianism
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a health worker in the face of genocide? \n\n\n\nJoin us for a powerful political education webinar on Palestine and the politics of humanitarianism\, where we’ll explore the role of health workers in confronting the ongoing genocide in Gaza – and the complicity of the British state in that violence. \n\n\n\nThrough this conversation\, we’ll cut through the depoliticised narratives often used to obscure the reality of Israel’s settler-colonial project\, and instead confront the deliberate destruction of Gaza’s health system\, the use of starvation as a weapon of war\, and the urgent need for international solidarity. \n\n\n\nFor this online event\, we’ll hear from health workers and organisers committed to naming the violence\, challenging the limits of humanitarianism and standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to liberation. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nLayth Hanbali\, community health researcher\n\n\n\nGhassan Abu-Sittah\, trauma and reconstructive surgeon\n\n\n\nHannah Caller\, community paediatrician \n\n\n\nJames Smith\, emergency physician\n\n\n\n\nHost: Rhiannon Mihranian Osborne\, foundation doctor and member of Health Workers for a Free Palestine \n\n\n\nThis event is especially valuable for health workers\, but it’s open to everyone – so please share widely!This is part of Medact’s Learning for Action series that aims to equip us with the knowledge and skills we need to win a more just world.
