Pause for a moment.

Picture the scenes which our members from the Gaza Health Workers Union are confronted with, every single day this war is allowed to continue.

Ukrainian nurses under fire: new report documents working conditions during the war Ukraine has lost more than a third of its nurses since 2014, with numbers falling even faster since the full-scale invasion.

Ukrainian nurses are working under extreme pressure, with little rest, low pay, and no protection.

A new report - now in English with EPSU’s support - gives a rare, honest look at what it's like on the frontlines of care.

📖 A sobering but important weekend read.

We stand today at Mont des Arts with @efjeurope.bsky.social and @ifjglobal.bsky.social to honour the 200+ journalists killed in Gaza.

Yesterday’s attack on a hospital killed 20 – including health and rescue workers and 5 journalists.

Israel must stop targeting hospitals and killing journalists.
