Thrilled to have completed my PhD in Health Systems and Conflict from King's College London! My research on NW #Syria was perhaps the first PhD thesis to document the health system experience there—glad it contributed to the launch of the R4HSSS project.

Very proud to be working with my amazing colleague Nassim El Achi 🇱🇧 who spoke about how R4HSSS has empowered research across the region. It was amazing to hear how the project increased the participation of women and professionals from northern #Syria.

I'm honoured to have been part of this Syrian delegation to Ukraine. Both of our countries have faced war crimes due to lack of action from the global community. We hope to join forces for #accountability and bring those responsible to #justice. #SyriansInUkraine

"Just dreadful and inhumane! The indiscriminate bombing of the Arab Baptist hospital in Gaza by Israel is nothing but a callous act of aggression. At least 500 innocent people were killed in what they believe to be a place of refuge!" #Gaza_under_attack

Thread: Why Western Governments should call out war crimes in Gaza, including the recent hospital bombing. Spoiler Alert: I am not including caring for Palestinian children as that does not seem to move some humans anymore.

All we need is love

Academic articles have a responsibility to be unbiased, yet richard horton piece The Lancet on the #Israel-#Palestine conflict can only fuel hate speech. His article demonstrates that populism is prevalent in academia as well. #Gaza thelancet.com/journals/lance…
