🧵The @nebriefing is an essential step towards a shared public understanding of where we are at, but from it emerges the question - What Next? A climate public health response to the crisis may still offer the positive future that is worth longing (and working) towards?

🧵Health workers have a clear role in communicating these opportunities and in demanding an appropriate, Covid-scale climate public health campaign - healthforxr.com/29th-april-2...

INSULATE BRITAIN 7 LOSE ‘FAIR TRIAL’ APPEAL Appeal by those who acted to uphold the law was rejected by a criminal justice system that is protecting politicians who are breaking international criminal law. insulatebritain.com/2025/08/15/i...

15🧵Health workers have an ethical and moral responsibility to act: to protect civilians, defend health care, and uphold international humanitarian law. If we do not stand for these principles in Gaza, they risk erosion everywhere.

13🧵Criminalising protestors who defend humanitarian law undermines the very legal foundations that protect all health workers in conflict. The right to protest is central to public health and democracy.

10🧵A Médecins Sans Frontières report published this month further provides eye witness testimony to call out the systematic use of violence and killing at the so called “Gaza Humanitarian foundation” aid distribution sites.

9🧵International health workers, including from Médecins Sans Frontières and Medical Aid for Palestinians, provided parliamentary testimony in June detailing: • Systematic targeting of health infrastructure • Mass civilian casualties • Patterns consistent with genocide

5🧵In Gaza, these legal and ethical protections have been systematically violated. To date, over 1,400 health workers have been killed, hospitals have been destroyed, and ambulance workers have been targeted and killed while responding to emergencies.

4🧵Emergency Nurse Leigh Evans, who has worked in the Palestinian territories including Gaza and who is participating in today's protest added that: “We are not servants of nations — we serve humanity. Our duty to care knows no borders, no politics.”

3🧵As Dr. Alice Clack, Consultant Obstetrician and former MSF practitioner, who was arrested in earlier de-proscription protests, states:“Our humanitarian work depends on these fundamental principles. Ignoring these acts endangers us all.”

2🧵Medical ethics — enshrined in the Geneva Conventions and UN Security Council Resolution 2286 - demand that health workers oppose the deliberate targeting of medical facilities and personnel during conflict.

1🧵Today, UK health workers formed a health block in Parliament Square as part of protests against the government’s proscription of Palestine Action. Our central message: Medical duty must take precedence over unjust terrorism legislation - healthforxr.com/9th-august-2...

15🧵Health workers have an ethical and moral responsibility to act: to protect civilians, defend health care, and uphold international humanitarian law. If we do not stand for these principles in Gaza, they risk erosion everywhere.

7🧵2) Commit to transparency in how board members are selected and how decisions are made, and, 3) Ensure that health and environmental considerations are placed at the heart of the UK's National Food Strategy

6🧵We therefore urge DEFRA to; 1) Ensure balanced representation by including independent public health experts, dieticians, healthcare professionals, environmental scientists, farmers and climate policy specialists

5🧵While at the same time, the food system is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss, with significant implications for planetary health and future generations

4🧵Diet-related diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers, continue to place an enormous burden on our healthcare system and economy …

Doctors call on the BMA ARM to vote for improving resilience in heat waves for patients and staff in the NHS. Health professionals shouldn’t have to work in intolerable heat because of Govt inaction on the climate crisis. This is a trade issue. Time to act now. ⏰ healthforxr.com/23rd-june-20...

A weekly vigil outside the @gmcuk.bsky.social offices in London continues this week following the re-suspension of Dr Sarah Benn for climate activism ... GMC, MPTS - you are wrong and we are not going anywhere.
