“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

Corridor care is now a year-round reality. Almost 3 in 5 physicians reported delivering care in a temporary space over the summer, according to our latest snapshot survey.
We’re calling on the #NHS & governments to address & prevent this practice for good.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.
