JATTAC Webinar: Crisis in Gaza – What can we do now?
Oveview
Gaza Crisis: As the crisis continues, with reports of ongoing attacks affecting civilians and hospitals, what can we do? JAT TAC invites you to a webinar to reflect on this humanitarian crisis.
Mr. Satoru Ida, former president of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) / Doctors Without Borders Japan, has extensive field experience leading aid projects in conflict zones around the world. He will present on the current humanitarian situation and MSF challenges in Gaza along with his own MSF Gaza experience in 2009.
The webinar will be in Japanese with slides in English.
We are conducting a pre-event survey (optional) to promote consideration of these issues before the seminar, and will also be accepting questions in advance. Some of these answers and questions will be discussed in the webinar.

Speaker profile:
Satoru Ida
Former President, Head of Mission
Médecins sans Frontières (MSF)/Doctors Without Borders Japan
After completing his studies in chemistry at University of California, Berkeley, Satoru worked as a pharmaceutical researcher. As a member of JICA’s Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers, he implemented an anti-malaria program in the Republic of Niger in West Africa from 2002 to 2004, and was awarded a letter of appreciation from Niger's National Anti-Malaria Program under the Ministry of Public Health and Anti-Endemic Disease Programs.
Since joining MSF in 2005, Satoru has delivered medical humanitarian aid in areas affected by conflicts, natural disasters, and infectious diseases in Gaza, Iraq, Nigeria, and Japan, amongst other places. As Country Representative in conflict-affected Afghanistan, he was responsible for the security of nearly 3,000 staff in six major projects. From 2008 to 2010, Satoru served as President of MSF Japan, and a board member of MSF France and MSF International.
