Palestine, Health and the Limits of Humanitarianism
Tuesday 11th November @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
What does it mean to be a health worker in the face of genocide?
Join 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.
Through 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.
For 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.
Speakers:
Layth Hanbali, community health researcher
Ghassan Abu-Sittah, trauma and reconstructive surgeon
Amira Nimerawi, CEO Health Workers 4 Palestine
Hannah Caller, community paediatrician
James Smith, emergency physician more info.
