r51 MSF Event - Occupied Palestinian Territories Webcast - July 14
LIVE WEBCAST
Tuesday, July 14, 8:00PM EDT 
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) takes an in-depth look at the critical medical needs in the
Occupied Palestinian Territories. For more than 15 years, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been working among Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank, providing critical medical and mental health support. Now, one year after the devastating war in Gaza and attendant violence in the West Bank, a stagnant political process that has yet to relieve any of the misery on the ground continues to perpetuate an inhumane and dangerously untenable situation. Our teams, which see the medical consequences of this on a daily basis, are now growing concerned that interventions like ours, even if designed to provide assistance, may in fact be reinforcing an intolerable new norm.
On Thursday, July 14, two experienced MSF field workers—nurse Sarah Woznick, who worked in Gaza before, during, and after last year’s conflict; and Dr. Greg Keane who coordinates our mental health programs in the West Bank—join MSF-USA executive director Jason Cone, who recently visited both the West Bank and Gaza, to reflect on the nature and the causes of the medical needs we see in our programs.
Viewer participation is encouraged via a chat feature
available during the webcast. Please help Doctors Without Borders deliver
