SUMMARY:Uniting Knowledge, Resources and Solidarity: Gaza Health Initiative Conference Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:The destruction of the Gaza Strip since October 7 has been unprecedented. According to a damage assessment report by the European Union, while homes are the majority of the infrastructure that has been destroyed, critical facilities including hospitals, health facilities, and basic services for sanitation, hygiene, education, energy and ICT are all catastrophically damaged.\nThere are currently no fully functioning hospitals in the Gaza Strip, and an estimated 700 healthcare and aid workers’ lives have been lost. Medical facilities are lacking personnel, beds, medicine, equipment and electricity. The extent of damage to both medical facilities and water and sanitation infrastructure raises significant concerns regarding the potential spread of communicable diseases\nTo prevent further loss of life, there is an imminent need to rebuild basic services, including most importantly, the healthcare sector. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us\nWe look forward to welcoming and hearing from representatives from humanitarian and development organisations, donors, academic institutions, civil society organisations, and professional bodies and member associations.\nThis event is by invitation.
