The Trinity Centre for Global Health presents a lunchtime lecture with Dr Mohamed Al-Hadid on ‘Peace, Humanity and Saving Lives in the Middle East’. This talk has been organized by the Trinity Centre for Global Health with the support of Magen David Adom Ireland and the Trinity Long Room Hub.

Dr Al-Hadid has promoted peace in the Middle East as president of the Jordan National Red Crescent Society over many decades, while calling on Arabs and Jews to tear down the walls of distrust and suspicion between them. He continues to promote peace in the Middle East through civil society activities around the world.

For his contribution to peace – not simply the absence of war, but genuine peace, founded on freedom, independence, national sovereignty, equality, human rights, and a fair and equitable distribution of resources – the Standing Commission of the Red Cross and Red Crescent unanimously agreed to award Mohammed Al-Hadid the Red Cross and Red Crescent Prize for Peace and Humanity.
