Care In Conflict
About Us
Care in Conflict is a platform of healthcare professionals, created by UKHPRC a petitions effort advoctating for ethical action in Palestine.
We try to bring together healthcare workers from across all disciplines of healthcare to uphold the duty of care, defend medical neutrality, and call for accountability where international humanitarian law is violated in Palestine.
Through coordinated petitions, policy engagement, and public advocacy, we ensure that the voices of healthcare workers are heard when the rights of patients and medical staff are under attack.
The Crisis in Gaza
The ongoing blockade, mass displacement, targeting of hospitals, and weaponisation of starvation in Gaza has created a catastrophic humanitarian emergency.
Medical workers, including paediatricians and primary care providers, are being killed, detained, and obstructed in their duty of care.
