UKPMHN Statement on Security Council Resolution 2334. Plus John Berger dies, and research on the situation facing nurses in the West Bank

10 January 2017 by admin in Blog

Dear Friends,

We are circulating a brief statement from the UKPMHN in response to the adoption of Resolution 2334 by the UN Security Council, condemning the illegal building of settlements by the Israeli Government. Please find the link here: UKPMHN Statement on UN Security Council Resolution 2334

On 2nd January John Berger died. Berger, among his many gifts and contributions, consistently supported the struggle for Palestinian rights. In this short video he reads a short story by the assassinated Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani, entitled ‘Letter from Gaza’. Written just a few years after the Naqba, it is still sadly relevant nearly seventy years on: https://vimeo.com/4115673

A research study by Nablus-based psychiatrist Dr Mohammad Marie, just published, seeks to understand the specific and extraordinary pressures under which nurses operate in the West Bank, and to propose strategies for enhancing their resilience. Find his article, ‘Challenges for nurses who work in community mental health centres in the West Bank, Palestine’ here: https://ijmhs.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13033-016-0112-4

Best wishes for 2017,

UKPMHN Steering Group
