Voices from Palestine: Healthcare Advocacy in a Humanitarian Crisis
Join us for an enlightening event focused on physician and healthcare worker education, advocacy, and humanitarian efforts in Palestine and Gaza. This event aims to equip the wider community with tangible tools to support health and social justice. Featuring a distinguished panel of healthcare workers with firsthand experience in Gaza and Palestine, this event offers a unique opportunity to gain insights into the challenges of providing complex medical care with little resources during a large scale humanitarian crisis.
Following the panel discussion, join us for a community dinner/Iftar at 7:30pm, providing a space for food, reflection, and fellowship.
