Responding to the Impact of Climate Change on Adolescent and Young Adult Health: A Position Paper of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine and the International Association for Adolescent Health
The Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine and the International Association for Adolescent Health recognize that climate change impacts multiple dimensions of health and well-being for adolescents and young adults. According to the World Health Organization, climate change is one of the top 10 health threats facing humanity. No aspect of adolescent health is spared from the consequences of climate change: food and housing insecurity, heat-related morbidity and mortality, water-borne diseases, infectious diseases, including sexually transmitted infections and HIV, mental health disorders, gender-based violence, conflict, internal displacement, and migration are all impacted.
![A post by Hammam, a known Palestinian nurse here. It is a wuote by an account of a man named Nathan Kalman Lamb who is posting an excerpt from an article. The article reads:
Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies "the rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp saw—a medical saw, a bone saw-and the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, [were] lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organ being taken." Organ procurement, with few exceptions like skin and cornea, requires that the body be either alive-via brain death-or just-dead—via circulatory death. It is plausible that some Palestinian prisoners' torture led to brain death. It is also possible their torturers felt no need to wait. Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs. The transplant surgeon waits for a person to die; the soldier can't. The settler surgeon wields his mastery over the body to serve the state. Here, the surgeon acts as-is—a soldier.
Nathan says hes honestly speechless.
Hammam quotes him to say:
The director of the hospital where I work, Al-Shifa Hospital, stated that the occupation forces returned the bodies of women whose organs were missing. Another source also reported that the occupation forces were using a school in northern Gaza to detain women & civilians and harvest their organs](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ztkrqibfkvmwtfa64r25n4sv/bafkreifs4clyqslx544scmacf6lhpruangn2nnhs4cypijdl2t43amj7ay)
