Ongoing destruction; violence against health care; crowded, unsafe, unsanitary living conditions; lack of food and other aid mean Gazans may face a permanent wasteland of suffering. @morrisonCSIS and I urge a major shift in US policy to prevent that. csis.org/analysis/gazas-huma…

I support Secretary-General @antonioguterres' letter to the @UN Security Council, invoking Article 99 and appealing for a ceasefire. #Gaza's health system is on its knees and near total collapse. We need peace for health.
I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General. Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

Drugs are not microchips, & the conditions needed for an industrial policy on drugs do not yet exist in the U.S. It will take dedicated diplomatic investment to secure the life sciences’ place as a strategic priority. Read @MorrisonCSIS & @MichSimoneau: healthaffairs.org/doi/abs/10…
