In Gaza\, the health sector is on the front lines of the war. \nAt least 200 doctors\, nurses\, and paramedics have been killed. Some 25 hospitals and 250 medical facilities are out of operation. More than 2\,000 patients with cancer; 1\,000 with kidney disease; 50\,000 with cardiovascular disease and 60\,000 with diabetes are at risk amid treatment interruption. Up to 200 women are giving birth every day in the worst imaginable conditions. \nHealth conditions are deteriorating fast. Numbers of respiratory and skin infections\, as well as malnutrition are on the rise. Cases of diarrhea are rampant as the sewage system breaks down. Even on the West Bank\, health conditions are deteriorating and health facilities are targeted by the Israeli occupation forces. \nThis webinar will pay tribute to the Palestinian doctors and health professionals who are still providing service to their communities in spite of these dire conditions. It will also discuss the challenges they face on the terrain and provide examples of the solidarity among their colleagues and friends abroad. Finally\, it will put forward some conditions and demands necessary to bring health\, safety and humanity back to patients and health workers alike\, with an unconditional ‘ceasefire now’ as a starter.
