The front page of The Lancet on 4 October 2025 cites correspondence from Alessandro Vitale and colleagues on the situation in Gaza. The correspondence states that "remaining silent and pretending to be neutral is actually a form of complicity." Institutions have not only remained silent, but many are actively silencing those who speak out. At the same time, they maintain investments and partnerships that materially support the destruction of health in Palestine. The article refers to this situation as the silent complicity of the health professions in the Palestinian health crisis.
