OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The war in the Gaza Strip has resulted in significant civilian mortality and infrastructure damage, creating a public health emergency. Israeli military operations have caused massive destruction, displaced nearly 2 million people, and severely disrupted essential services. This seminar examines mortality and famine in Gaza over the past year, addressing health information system challenges, mortality and famine projections analysis, and data collection during conflict. The seminar will present mortality estimates using capture-recapture analysis methods and discuss famine projections that assess food insecurity and malnutrition risks.
