Café

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Um dia áspero

Fragmenta o lado frágil do ser humano.

Ele não tem tempo de olhar pra fora…

Para as riquezas ocultas.

Tudo lhe rouba a alegria

As coisas que acredita

Sucumbem ao aceso dos olhos,

A call for an immediate ceasefire and peaceful end to the Russian aggression against Ukraine – The Lancet

The indiscriminate use of weaponry violates international humanitarian law and has caused catastrophic health impacts, especially on children, older people, and disabled persons, and social and economic disruptions that will be long lasting.

We call for an immediate ceasefire and the appointment of a mediator to facilitate negotiations for a sustainable and peaceful settlement on the basis of international law to end the conflict. We urge the global health community to deliver humanitarian assistance impartially to all those affected by and fleeing the war; document atrocities committed against civilians and the devastating impacts of the war; counter disinformation about the conflict; and advocate for a peaceful settlement. We also call for an end to the repression of those in Russia protesting the war. Source: A call for an immediate ceasefire and peaceful end to the Russian aggression against Ukraine – The Lancet
