Webinar 28th December: Redrawing the map in the Middle East: what role for health activism?

We are at the dawn of a new era as the map of the Middle East is being redrawn by Israel’s aggression, backed by U.S. imperialism. Fifteen months into the genocide in Gaza, 76 years since the beginning of the Zionist occupation, three weeks into a unilateral ceasefire in Lebanon, and amid a shifting political situation in Syria, we close 2024 facing the prospect of an even more aggressive government at the helm of the world’s largest war machine.
