Humanitarian and environmental impacts of the war in Gaza: Increasing risk of nuclear war 

The war on Gaza causes death, destruction, disease and hunger at a horrendous level. After 150 days, over 30,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis have been killed and many more have been maimed and injured, marking this conflict with the highest daily death rate in recent years.
In the Israel-Palestine conflict, an additional humanitarian and environmental catastrophe looms in the event of a nuclear escalation. The presence of nuclear weapons in the region, the dehumanizing and violent rhetoric of the Netanyahu government and the potential for further escalation and chaos if other countries were to be involved make this a dangerous possibility.
Dr. Tim Takaro (IPPNW Board of Directors) will speak about Israel's nuclear weapons program, consequences of a nuclear escalation and possibilities for de-escalation and prevention.
