Thanks for publishing this The BMJ! The conflict in Sudan is raging on and our colleagues need our ongoing support.

The loss of life at Al-Alhi Arab Hospital in Gaza is horrific and must mark a turning point.

Grateful to Fenit Nirappil and all for thoughtfully highlighting the awful aftermath of violence against health in today's Washington Post. Our research in Syria shows that attacks impact every facet of the health system: washingtonpost.com/health/2023/10…

Disfigured faces. Metal pellets lodged in skulls. Ruptured retinas. Permanent blindness. These are some of the stark reminders of the Iranian Government's wanton and systematic misuse of crowd-control weapons against protesters. New in The Lancet: thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Attacks on health care professionals and facilities during conflict are increasing around the world. These attacks are war crimes & a public health catastrophe. New piece in The Lancet by Rohini J.

🔽PHR’s Erika Dailey: PHR’s lead researcher on the health harms of crowd-control weapons (CCWs) is Rohini Haar Rohini J. Haar who is an ER doctor, and she knows firsthand how damaging CCWs can be when law enforcement misuses these against protestors.

🔽PHR’s Erika Dailey: Kinetic Impact Projectiles (KIPs) are particularly dangerous CCWs. The only real purpose of KIPs are to cause harm. Injuries by KIPs can include brain damage, internal bleeding, and worse. There have been strong international calls to ban these weapons.

Ongoing destruction; violence against health care; crowded, unsafe, unsanitary living conditions; lack of food and other aid mean Gazans may face a permanent wasteland of suffering. @morrisonCSIS and I urge a major shift in US policy to prevent that. csis.org/analysis/gazas…
