In March 2024 I posed the following: "The least our health leaders could do is call out that this is not all right and affirm the need for a permanent ceasefire. It is unfortunate that many of them won’t even say Gaza..." The call has yet to be answered.

Health care advocacy must include Gaza
The least our health leaders could do is say what is happening in Gaza is not alright and affirm the need for a permanent ceasefire.

![Cover of The Lancet's Oct 4, 2025 issue. Cover quote reads: "Most medical and surgical societies worldwide have remained silent or issued vague statements about Gaza's healthocide [...] Staying silent while pretending to be neutral is, in effect, a form of complicity."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ypu6bwefbbzhcvojdj7mz657/bafkreih3gz5fes4mk4pbviqqus2zo2bqyrx3cgbgqb7xg2skvpvl52tj5i@jpeg)

It seems that 20 months of witnessing the intentional killing of innocent children, men and women is what it took for some people to finally conclude that what is happening to Palestinians is wrong. Remember the saying that "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere".
