Journal Article
Morphine for Gaza? Limits of care during genocidal violence
2024
Overview
The importance of palliative care as a component of humanitarian health response, inclusive of pain relief, should not be underestimated.2,3 However, as humanitarian health and palliative care professionals, we caution against isolated calls that fail to name and advocate for an end to the violence that renders palliative care necessary for a substantial proportion of people in armed conflict. Rather, the threshold for palliative care is dynamic and politically determined by the Israeli state's impunity to its international legal obligations as related to the right to health as an occupying power.4 The priority for “our collective social conscience”1 is not simply the provision of morphine. A narrow focus on pain relief also ignores aspects of holistic palliative care delivered every day by courageous health-care workers, when the odds of survival are stacked against them.5 At the time of writing, one of our authors is working alongside Palestinian health-care workers in the emergency unit of one of Gaza's remaining functional hospitals.
