This IS environmental racism: It will worsen health inequities, as Dr. Allison Arwady's @ChiPublicHealth data shows. Old General Iron site is in the best Air Quality and Health decile-New site is in the worst. @OBauti @NPRHealth @NPR #DenyThePermit @chicagosmayor @CHIhungerstrike

"APHA Urges Biden to Call for Immediate Ceasefire in Israel-Hamas Conflict." Israel's siege on Gaza has—among many things—created a humanitarian crisis. It is also is also a public health crisis. Powerful to see @PublicHealth responding accordingly. medpagetoday.com/publichealt…

WHO statement on attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital and reported large-scale casualties WHO strongly condemns the attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip. The hospital was operational, with patients, health and care givers, and internally displaced people sheltering there. Early reports indicate hundreds of fatalities and injuries. The hospital was one of 20 in the north of the Gaza Strip facing evacuation orders from the Israeli military. The order for evacuation has been impossible to carry out given the current insecurity, critical condition of many patients, and lack of ambulances, staff, health system bed capacity, and alternative shelter for those displaced. WHO calls for the immediate active protection of civilians and health care. Evacuation orders must be reversed. International humanitarian law must be abided by, which means health care must be actively protected and never targeted.

5/4 The policies on curfew are punitive. The current tent situation is inhumane. And the long term solutions the city is implementing are horrid. The city must re build housing for our 80k unhoused poor and treat our new neighbors like human beings!
4/4 None of this is acceptable. The stations were a terrible idea, putting migrants in contact with police that has on more than one occasion jeopardized the safety of women and their immigrations status. The food being delivered to the refuges is rotten.

2/4 Tents have sprung up at District 17, District 10, District 11, both stations on 63rd (7 & 8) and an absolutely huge, sad encampment at 51st and Wentworth. While the move was out of desperation at 12, time and time again we have seen our cities admin tell these people they...
1/4 Migrants living in tents started early this summer at District 12 as a way to avoid police abuse in the station. Tents are now the norm at stations as rotten hearted CPD found out they can push the envelope for what the bare minimum means. With no repercussions from the city
