As healthcare workers in a field which lacks respect for office hours and holidays, many <i>ANZJOG</i> readers will again leave their own families at times of celebration to provide care for the families of others. I pay tribute to our colleagues who will be staffing labour wards, emergency departments, and other critical services over the holiday period.</p><p>As I write, thinking of the upcoming festive period, my mind is constantly drawn to the current conflict in Israel and Palestine and the abhorrent violence and loss of life that has occurred and continues to occur. As the world watches a deep and disturbing humanitarian crisis evolve it is apparent that the burden of this crisis is felt disproportionately heavily by women. Even if casualties among frontline combatants are predominantly men, in a society where women have limited independent agency over their lives, thousands of newly widowed women face additional hardship due to barriers to accessing financial and material requirements of daily life as women who have lost their male supporter.</p><p>Women in the conflict zone and almost half a million others internally displaced within Gaza include a large number of pregnant women unable to access basic maternity care, a situation which will inevitably see intolerable human suffering in the form of preventable maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. We must hope that this conflict is rapidly resolved as peacefully as possible such that the unimaginable suffering of innocent people on both sides is brought to an end. I am aware that there will be readers of <i>ANZJOG</i> with important personal connections to this region and this conflict and my thoughts are with them and their loved ones.</p><p>This issue begins with an editorial by Calvert and Symonds discussing education in the <i>Journal</i> and in RANZCOG.<span><sup>1</sup></span> The authors discuss historical views of education in our discipline and outline recent strategies employed in the ongoing quest to produce skilled and well-rounded new obstetricians and gynaecologists as the primary focus of RANZCOG as an educational institution.
