This symposium groups scientific lectures and panel discussions around humanitarian medicine in Gaza.
The direct and indirect impacts of the systematic destruction of the medical infrastructure on the health of the civilian population and medical work on site are to be highlighted, and global as well as local action strategies are to be developed.
Adequate crisis response is highly complex and multidisciplinary. To do justice to this, our event should inform in a particularly interdisciplinary way and place the interdisciplinary exchange at the center.
Doctors who have provided humanitarian aid in Gaza will have their say, as will experts in global health, international lawyers and civil society actors.
The event is primarily aimed at people from the medical and humanitarian field. In the spirit of networking and professional exchange, people without a medical background are explicitly invited to participate.
Further information and the link to online registration will follow shortly.
