WHO statement on attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital and reported large-scale casualties WHO strongly condemns the attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip. The hospital was operational, with patients, health and care givers, and internally displaced people sheltering there. Early reports indicate hundreds of fatalities and injuries. The hospital was one of 20 in the north of the Gaza Strip facing evacuation orders from the Israeli military. The order for evacuation has been impossible to carry out given the current insecurity, critical condition of many patients, and lack of ambulances, staff, health system bed capacity, and alternative shelter for those displaced. WHO calls for the immediate active protection of civilians and health care. Evacuation orders must be reversed. International humanitarian law must be abided by, which means health care must be actively protected and never targeted.

When I was working on the frontline, I used to use @OurWorldInData to track how we were doing against the #covid pandemic. It was incredible to meet @MaxCRoser at the @OxfordSDGLab and learn more about the opportunities and challenges of tracking global indicators.

Inspiring and moving to hear from @MaxCRoser about the work he & his team are doing at @OurWorldInData to visualise complex data on the state of the world 📊🌍 @RestIsPolitics we know you are also fans. Can we persuade you to come for a #LabLunch? @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK

Great to have our article on the environmental impact of virtual consulting published! There is evidence of carbon savings from travel emissions, but lots more work to be done in mapping out the whole environmental impact and scope for telemedicine use in practice.

New work on environmental sustainability and virtual consulting 👇 Clearly a game changer in reducing emissions, but only one part of >bigger action that's needed in health care @GreenerNHS @SusHealthcare @UKHealthClimate @LancetCountdown @DrAmyBooth @OxPrimaryCare
