Our Middle East Regional Advocacy Advisor, Mara Bernasconi was in #Gaza back in February. She kept a diary, sharing the powerful stories of the people she met 👇 www.humanity-inclusion.org.uk/en/news/for-... #CeaseFireNOW
I don’t know how to describe how small I feel - standing before the towering ruins of bombed-out buildings, collapsed onto themselves, onto the lives still trapped beneath. How did we allow this level of devastation, this violation of the most basic human rights? The destruction is overwhelming.

On #WorldHealthDay , a new report by HI reveals the devastating impact of explosive weapons in populated areas on healthcare access in conflict zones. The report highlights the catastrophic surge in amputations across #Gaza, #Syria and #Ukraine. www.humanity-inclusion.org.uk/en/amputatio...
Report 
Amputation crisis in conflict zones
New report highlights the catastrophic surge in amputations across Gaza, Syria and Ukraine.       The staggering number of amputations in conflict zones is a direct consequence of the use of explosive weapons in densely populated areas. Without immediate humanitarian access and funding for rehabilitation services, we risk condemning an entire generation to unnecessary suffering and disability. 
George Graham, Chief Executive 
Humanity & Inclusion UKThe widespread destruction, combined with a severe shortage of medical supplies and rehabilitation services, is leaving thousands of survivors without access to essential care, prosthetics, and the long-term support that they need. 
Humanity & Inclusion is calling on governments, international donors, and humanitarian agencies to:

1.   Fund emergency and long-term rehabilitation services for conflict survivors.

2.   Ensure safe and unrestricted access to prosthetics, assistive devices, and trained medical staff.

3.   Prioritise rehabilitation in humanitarian response plans

Almost 30 years ago, the world came together in an unprecedented movement to ban the use of #landmines. Now, governments – and even a former UK defence secretary – are arguing that these terrifying, indiscriminate weapons should be brought back into use. #IMAD2025 www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

Ben Wallace is wrong: landmines are no defence strategy – just a long-term liability
