We’ve been reporting on the health impacts from Israel’s campaign of attacks on Gaza The bombardment has been so severe that bomb injuries already affect almost the entire population And they will create serious issues for the region’s weakened health system for years to come

The journalists worked for a committee supervising Egyptian aid in Gaza and were documenting a newly set-up camp Being a reporter should never come with a death sentence Journalism is not a crime

As global attention is directed elsewhere and Gaza slips from the headlines, journalists remain on the front lines At least 11 Palestinians, including three journalists, have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since dawn, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health

🚨 Our latest: Israeli bombing has triggered an “unparalleled” ecological crisis in Gaza: asbestos, sewage, toxic dust and collapsing water systems. As talks turn to a “New Gaza”, the question is: how do you rebuild on poisoned ground?

Patients left to suffer as painkiller crisis hits Gaza - - www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025... "Israeli restrictions leave doctors short of vital drugs" making children suffer agonising pain unnecessarily is sheer sadism by #israel #gazagenocide

‘Most people are just toughing it out’: shortage of drugs leaves Gaza’s wounded without pain relief

Our latest:

On Monday, an Israeli airstrike hit the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza and killed 20 people, including five journalists – Mohamed Salama, Moaz Abu Taha, Hussam al-Masri, Ahmed Abu Aziz and Mariam Dagga Just last week, we reported on the infections crisis at Nasser

In Nov, we reported doctors in Gaza using vinegar when antiseptics ran out, with food shortages, that’s no longer an option. Now, hospitals are overwhelmed, infections are spiralling, and doctors say they’re “flying blind” against drug-resistant bacteria. Our latest investigation for ⬇️

Nasser, the largest hospital in southern Gaza, has been forced to operate at twice its capacity in grim conditions with little to no supplies But patients are no longer responding to the little medicine they have because of the spread of superbugs

According to the UN, at least 1,760 Palestinians have been killed since May while seeking food, with 994 killed near GHF sites A recent report by Doctors Without Borders suggests that Israeli forces are targeting people at these sites

Before the Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was set up in May, Gaza’s Nasser hospital was overwhelmed with patients roughly every two weeks Now it’s every day Here’s what medics on the ground told us 👇

Drug-resistant infections already contribute to an estimated 35,000 deaths each year in the UK And if these infections were to grow out of control, life-saving antibiotics would stop working altogether

🚨The UK would struggle to tackle a superbug epidemic – that’s the stark warning from a parliamentary committee assessing the rise of antibiotic-resistant bugs www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...

Meet Misbah, our antimicrobial resistance (AMR) reporter From ICUs in Ethiopia to ministries in Pakistan, she’s seen AMR up close – and recently used that insight to help shape a policy paper for UN agencies grounded in the lived experiences of those most affected 👉 bit.ly/3T7itMh

A major outbreak of animal disease could cost the UK billions, according to a new government report The report highlights serious flaws in the UK's biosecurity and disease monitoring – where only 5% of live animals coming into the country are currently undergoing physical checks

During the panel, @koutterson.bsky.social and fellow panelists @misbahsk.bsky.social of @tbij.bsky.social and Sujith Chandy from @icarsglobal.bsky.social will unveil a new tool to estimate the impact of AMR across 122 countries.

Excellent panel on effective approaches to impact #ijf25 @journalismfestival.com @lamthuyvo.bsky.social of Documented says their main audience is immigrant communities in NYC. They do "listening"/needs assessments, service journalism alongside investigations, even printing materials to distribute

Less than a week to go till #IJF25 Join me and these fantastic reporters who put impact at the heart of their journalism! @tbij.bsky.social will be around. If you want to talk environment, health, investigative journalism or anything else- drop a message! Let’s grab a coffee or gelato ☕

I am working with @mellino.bsky.social to uncover the many injustices workers are facing going through employment tribunals. Please help share our callout with your networks (available Polish, Portuguese Punjabi - Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi, Spanish, Romanian and Urdu) ⬇️

Did you know that sex is a trigger for about 60% of the women living with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)?

New today: @tbij.bsky.social can reveal the life-saving treatments against snake bites that contain so little active ingredient, experts say you may as well give a patient water. Others sold in sub-Saharan Africa are made for Indian snakes and are guaranteed not to work shorturl.at/isLOr

Flies in hospital wards may be spreading drug-resistant bacteria to patients www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

If you've ever had a UTI, you'll know the thought of extreme infections which are resistant to antibiotics is just... awful. This important reporting by @misbahsk.bsky.social really puts into perspective the scale of the problem of anti-microbial resistance and how it impacts all of us.

Women are all too often hidden in the story of public health around the world. Gender equity in health & policy matters ~ and I’m proud to lead a newsroom that goes where the spotlight should [also] be. Formidable reporting from @misbahsk.bsky.social 👇🏽

Everyone knows someone that has had a UTI. Some people are suffering from these infections over and over again. Burning bladder pain that doesn’t go away… My latest for @TBIJ shows why antibiotic resistance is making these infections harder to treat:

Women battling recurrent UTIs told us they’ve tried everything to treat themselves, from surgery to self-administering meds via catheters For Tamara, it became so unbearable she started taking antibiotics every time she had sex – a common trigger

For @tbij.bsky.social, I took a look at a few different AI tools being rolled out in some of the highest-stakes conflicts on earth. 🧵

AMR is listed as a major security threat in Security plans around the world, including the UK. And yet.... Gaza www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024... by @misbahsk.bsky.social

NEW: Trans people across the country are having their HRT prescriptions refused or withdrawn by GPs - sometimes years after starting the treatment www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024...

🚨Major investigation just dropped at @dropsitenews.com in partnership with a consortium of independent European news outlets. A major player in global journalism is primarily bankrolled by the U.S. State Department, we can reveal. Story to follow in next post:

We spent a year collecting a database of stories that were suppressed by the rich and powerful – yesterday MPs used their parliamentary privilege to talk openly about it This is what they covered 👇

🚨We’ve teamed up with MPs to help us expose shocking stories silenced by legal threats – and they’re going to be revealed in the UK parliament today

@benrst.bsky.social and I spent the last few months investigating aspiring "largest private-sector catalyst for decarbonisation", McKinsey read our report into the firm's polluting clients and connections w @theguardian.com + my first byline @ CCR 🥸 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

There is a growing and dire public health crisis taking place in Gaza - one you might not have thought about. Israeli blockades and hospital bombings are fuelling a superbug emergency, with civilians facing untreatable, life-threatening infections. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024...

With farm owners protesting today over the prospect of paying a highly discounted inheritence tax, I'm sure you've seen quotes about how they "feed the nation". But nobody is talking about the migrant workers who actually pick the crops on horticulture farms, so here's a short thread about them.

Whilst reporting this story, I received images on WhatsApp from a doctor in Gaza showing a blast injury infected with superbugs. The man had survived the bombardment only to lose his leg to an infection. For many, life-saving drugs aren’t working.

NEW: Less than 100 miles from where world leaders have been discussing how to meet climate pledges at COP29, BP is drilling for gas The project could inject more than 1 billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere (more than the UK emits over 3 years) www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024...
