The UK is seeing the largest increase in #measles cases in decade. That mirrors a decade-long decline in childhood #vaccine coverage. This has been engineered by cuts to #PublicHealth , a generational decline in living standards & increasing child poverty.

New Human Rights Watch research: kids in Gaza are dying of starvation-related complications as the Israeli gov't continues to block aid from reaching northern Gaza. hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…. A thread on why this is not merely unfortunate-it's a deliberate policy that can and should be reversed.

“The ultimate goal of #immunization services is to serve population health but that can only be done in an enabling environment of resources, of cash flow, of making it as easy as possible” | me in POLITICOEurope Morning HealthCare on rising #pertussis cases & declining coverage

Most of the buildings in the hospital complex…

In the past six months the Israeli state has done in Gaza exactly what its political leaders said if would. None of this was unforeseen or unknowable

📣 New funding alert

We’re awarding up to £5 million each to multidisciplinary teams to improve our understanding of dengue and Zika – and help implement effective interventions. [1/6]

Israel outlawed Al Jazeera
Israel killed foreign aid workers
Israel attacked an embassy

This is setting a precedent for a world in which there are no red lines and no one is protected.

The killing of foreign aid workers should be the LAST wake up call if you still haven’t spoken up loudly for an immediate ceasefire. Whatever we allow to happen to Palestinian life in Gaza we allow to happen to everyone else, the hostages and humanitarian workers. Ceasefire. Now.
