The independent International Commission of Inquiry, established by the UN Human Rights Council, has concluded today that the State of Israel bears responsibility for the commission of #genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. STOP IT. www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

All human lifes are worth the same. This is the principle of humanity, and should always prevail. saludeverywhere.com/en/humanitar...

After a short pause (for personal and family reasons), I’ve updated the “History and Evolution of Humanitarian Aid” section on Salud Everywhere, now including references to the dismantling of USAID, the humanitarian funding crisis, and the upcoming humanitarian reset.

I don't want hardship to make me stronger. I want it to make me better, kinder, and more empathetic.

Love your parents. Be kind with healthcare workers. Defend universal health coverage. Always.

Qué buen artículo de @patriciasimon.bsky.social hoy en Planeta Futuro. Me encanta la selección de personas entrevistadas y mucho de lo que defienden, como la reivindicación del valor de lo "internacional" al tiempo que se da más poder a profesionales locales y regionales. No es un tema fácil...

Este es el nivel del Partido Popular en la Asamblea de Madrid: su portavoz adjunto de sanidad no tiene ni idea de lo que dice y no tiene problema en demostrarlo.

How long until we start seeing "made by human" disclaimers in things we read/watch/listen, to guarantee they're #AI free, at least to a certain extent? For text, it could be something like a 5-level scale... 🧵

💚 ¡Tenemos una muy buena noticia que contar! Se ha celebrado la Cumbre de Nutrición para el Crecimiento en París, y esto es lo que hemos conseguido. ¡Abrimos hilo! 🧶👇

El #DíaMundialdelaSalud es un maravilloso momento para poner en valor la importancia de la atención sanitaria universal, de calidad y para todos y todas, sin condiciones y al margen de intereses económicos o comerciales. #Saludparatodos (y todas) siempre.

The protection of infant and young child feeding is often neglected in humanitarian response, seen as a minor or secondary intervention, despite the vulnerability of children under 2 years of age and their caregivers. #HopefulFutures #HealthForAll #WorldHealthDay saludeverywhere.com/en/health-in...

President Trump wants to return to the era before the 1913 income tax. Why? The US implemented an income tax to make the robber barons pay their share.That's why Trump hates it. His view, let the robber barons of yesteryear & the tech bros of today keep theirs. And make sure that everyone else pays.

eyyyy 34 gazillion

Lesotho got hit with the highest tariff rate. 14% of Lesotho’s GNI is dependent on US trade. 50% of its people live on less than $5 a day, 32% live on less than $1.90 a day. Its main export is diamonds so good luck to the new Ohio diamond industry www.bnnbloomberg.ca/tariffs/2025...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a NEW peptide antibiotic that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria INCLUDING those RESISTANT to existing antibiotics. This discovery marks the first potential new class of antibiotics in NEARLY 30 YEARS. 🧪🧵⬇️

Students: do not plagiarize your work with AI. First, because you need to learn how to write research papers and literature reviews (and you learn by writing and making mistakes). Second, the AI often writes in a distinctive manner and includes false references. Both are easy to detect.

Nutrition is the key determinant to health. It's staggering that nearly 3 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet. I arrived in Paris to join President Emmanuel Macron & health leaders at the Nutrition for Growth Summit, as we need continued investment and a laser-focus on ending malnutrition.

Are you a medical practitioner with at least two years of clinical work experience, anywhere in the world, interested in becoming a humanitarian aid worker? Admissions to MSF's Global Health & Humanitarian Medicine (GHHM) course are now open, until April 21, 2025. Course fees are lower for LMICs!

Over the past 10 years, global #hunger in the world has increased. One-third of the global population lives in moderate or severe food insecurity, and one in 11 people goes hungry. Now, everything is about to get worse... 🧵 1/4 #N4G

From very useful Our World in Data article: percent of UK ‘foreign aid’ spent at home.

He decidido empezar (en realidad no sé si seguiré) a recopilar ideas y reflexiones inspiradoras sobre el estado de la acción humanitaria y su sistema. Por aquí las dejo...

I felt the urge to compile some of the most inspiring texts I'm reading here and there about humanitarian aid, its current situation, and the way forward.

Salud Everywhere has taken off! Now I’m working to complete and improve key pages. This weekend, I focused on analyzing the meaning of humanitarianism, the link between the humanitarian imperative and human rights, and how humanitarian aid keeps evolving in 2025. Any feedback is welcome!

"Incompatible migrants"? That's racism, clear as day.

Treat these funding cuts like the humanitarian disaster that they are! #AidSky

‼️ Exigimos la protección del personal humanitario en Gaza.  El ataque al alojamiento de @UNOPS en Deir al Balah, considerado parte de las “zonas seguras”, pone en riesgo la vida y la labor de miles de trabajadores humanitarios.

¡Cumplimos 30 años en Acción contra el Hambre! En febrero de 1995, iniciamos nuestro camino en España. Hoy, tres décadas después, podemos decir que lideramos la lucha contra el hambre.

In the last 20 years, many efforts have helped improve core aspects of humanitarian interventions: participation, equity, quality, and accountability. Today, we have a Core Humanitarian Standard with nine commitments that serve as a compass for principled and people-centered humanitarian aid.

We just completed our last live session of "Public Health in Complex Emergencies" at the George Washington University. As always, I like to share with my students this short video. It helps understand what humanitarian aid organizations exist for. We're NEVER the Batmans. We NEED TO BE their Alfreds

Wonderful article in @cgdev.org by @leecrawfurd.bsky.social. As optimistic as necessary. Let's show people how effective #humanitarianaid can be!

Foundations need to spend more, but many overestimate what they can do right now. NIH's budget is $47bn; USAID $22bn Gates' endowment is $44bn; Wellcome $49bn Spending down their entire endowments = 15 months of US spend. It's not nothing but it's far from enough. www.statnews.com/2025/03/18/c...

Which countries have contributed the most to historical CO₂ emissions?

Humanitarian funding cuts lead to malnutrition, starvation and death. Via @kaamilahmed.bsky.social

Humanitarian crises exacerbate the risk of sexual and gender-based violence, as existing gender inequality increases and intersects with the consequences of conflict and forced displacement. We must help prevent it and address the needs of survivors and people at greater risk of violence.

Thanks for this thoughtful discussion @brunoabarca.bsky.social Glad the resources on ethics and closure of #humanitarian projects is useful. Sorry it’s so much and so sudden @isabelmunoz.bsky.social @lisaaeck.bsky.social humanitarianhealthethics.net

Helpful advice

and in navigating the ethical dilemmas that are being faced this @humoutcomes.bsky.social guide might be helpful - humanitarianoutcomes.org/humanitarian...

In the first quarter of 2025, hundreds of cooperation and humanitarian aid projects came to a sudden end. How can ethics be ensured in the closure of a humanitarian project, even when it occurs unexpectedly? #humanitarianethics

Action Against Hunger alone faces up to USD 120 million in lost funding in countries like Haiti, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan. Across our sector, the impact could be even greater.

Evaluations of humanitarian action are critical to learning how to improve interventions, to demonstrating their value, and for accountability to the people and institutions we work with.

In 10 countries, U.S. aid funds over 50% of health spending; in 37, at least 10%. Trump’s cuts expose a risky dependence on foreign aid.

Under international humanitarian law, the Occupying Power must provide for the basic needs of the civilian population under its control. The rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian assistance must also be allowed and facilitated.

Evaluar la acción humanitaria es esencial para poder mejorar la calidad de las intervenciones, rendir cuentas a la población y las instituciones, y (ahora más que nunca) demostrar y defender el valor de lo que hacemos. Ahora bien... ¿Qué podemos evaluar exactamente?

Good article -- true community involvement means sharing power, not just consulting people.

Community participation is a subject that the humanitarian system has been failing year after year. Why?

Not so long ago, we only had 6 vaccines available: tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio and measles. Today we have 13 universally recommended, and 17 more, depending on the context. Yet, access to vaccination in humanitarian settings is still limited. Why and what can be done?
