Absence of a plan for the people of Gaza is very worrying. So many - including thousands released from harsh prison conditions - returning to find their homes and neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. No-one yet offering any hope, and from what I hear Trump refusing to discuss.

Palestinians in Gaza will continue to suffer and die so long as Israel maintains its unlawful blockade of Gaza and does not restore basic services like electricity, water and health care.

States should take urgent action to prevent further rights violations.

Most frameworks to assess #pharmaceutical #systems focus on national level, but many key functions, eg medicine distribution and use, are managed locally. We present a method to assess #local pharmaceutical systems & identify ways to improve their #performance.
