Why This Webinar Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Gaza, starvation is not a consequence; it is a tactic. This webinar brings together global experts to expose the deliberate use of famine as a weapon of war, its catastrophic health impacts, and the urgent moral and humanitarian imperative to act. From pediatric wards to global policy tables, our speakers will illuminate the scale of devastation and the pathways to accountability and relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conference Objectives:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. To medically document the unprecedented famine in Gaza, creating a definitive archive for history and justice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. To analyze the multi-system, long-term health impacts on the Palestinian people, especially children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. To engage the international medical and humanitarian community in a dialogue of global ethical responsibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. To brainstorm and propose innovative, “out-of-the-box” solutions for immediate intervention and long-term health system recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
