Over the course of 2 days we will have two 2.5hour webinars where we will explore the interconnected impacts of war, environmental collapse, and human and animal health and welfare through the One Health lens. Through expert talks and frontline testimony from Gaza, we’ll examine how agriculture, veterinary, environmental, and human healthcare systems have been systematically dismantled - and what rebuilding a resilient One Health ecosystem in Palestine will require.
Participants will gain insight into:
1. The destruction of agricultural and veterinary infrastructure and its implications for food security and public health.
2. The lived experience of healthcare workers and veterinarians operating under siege conditions and the ethical dimensions of the care they can offer in humanitarian crises.
3. The long-term environmental and toxicological effects of modern warfare on animals, ecosystems, and human health.
4. The professional and moral responsibilities of medical professionals, veterinarians, and eco-scientists within global One Health networks.
This webinar is aimed at Veterinary professionals, healthcare workers and all other people with an interest in this topic.
