After six years serving as International President of @msf.org, the time has come to pass the torch. This role has never been about power, but about responsibility.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Dr David Nabarro, a steadfast voice for global health and a longtime friend of the humanitarian community. Our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. His wisdom, warmth and tireless commitment to health equity will be deeply missed.

There’s no other feeling to describe reading our @msf.org 2024 International Activity Report than gratitude. Thank you to all my MSF colleagues, for being there for people and providing medical care to those who need it. Learn about their amazing work in 2024: www.msf.org/internationa...

European leaders have the means to expedite a ceasefire in Gaza but continue to issue hollow statements in response to Israel's atrocities. @consilium.europa.eu @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @president.europarl.europa.eu @kajakallas.bsky.social - every delay is complicity. www.msf.org/open-letter-...

Following attacks on humanitarians in South Sudan, Gaza, and Sudan, including @msf.org and killings of Palestine Red Crescent Society & Relief International staff ....the silence is deafening No outrage No accountability What is the cost for killing humanitarians? swissinfo.ch/eng/internat...

Being on TIME's 100 leaders in philanthropy is an honour. Recognition of what @msf.org’s 7 million donors and 69,000 staff make possible with communities we serve. A movement of people, connected by solidarity, give their time, money, and voice to our humanitarian action. time.com/collections/...

❌ No food ❌ No fuel ❌ No medicine ❌ No basic supplies None of these items have been allowed to enter Gaza since 2 March. We call on the UNSC, the UNSG, NGOs, celebrities and advocates to join us in urging the Israeli authorities to #StopNOW weaponising aid in Gaza.

I had the fortune of visiting the @msf.org centre for survivors of extreme violence in Mexico City 2 years ago. And while I always hope less people are in need of the comprehensive care provided there, I'm grateful we're there for people who have endured too much in life.

We're looking for a new #PatientRepresentative to join our Board and help align our programmes and commitments with the needs of the communities we serve. 🗓️ Apply by 4 May 2025 🔗 Details: bit.ly/dndi-patient... #PatientCentricity #PatientAdvocacy #GlobalHealth #JoinUs @drluispizarro.bsky.social

While statements are made in this chamber, civilians remain unseen, unprotected, bombed, besieged, raped, displaced, deprived of food, of medical care, of dignity.

#Sudan: Doctors Without Borders is forced to suspend all activities in Zamzam camp, including our field hospital. The escalation of attacks is making it impossible for our teams to continue providing medical assistance in such dangerous conditions. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/sudan-msf-fo...

Our entire @msf.org family is in mourning over the tragic death of our colleague, Jerry Muhindo Kavali, in DRC. Jerry worked with us since 2014 and was known for his constant smile. My thoughts are with his family and all his loved ones. Even war has rules. www.msf.org/democratic-r...

#Gaza: @chrislockyear.msf.org explains how North Gaza is almost inhabitable. The situation is appalling; there is nothing left. youtu.be/wz8qK7xNd9Y

Every person deserves access to medical care — no exceptions. #WordlDayofSocialJustice

Teams are now able to reach northern Gaza. Our colleagues no longer recognize their own neighborhoods, hospitals have been razed, and people are living in the rubble of their homes with no other shelter amid winter conditions. What they found: www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/north...

Northern #Gaza: All components of society have been destroyed making it almost uninhabitable. Our teams are now able to reach the north and to assess the medical and humanitarian needs. Sanabel Sulaiman, our nurse, talks about the dire medical situation: youtube.com/shorts/3p5N8...

#Sudan: On Feb. 3, airstrikes by the Sudanese Armed Forces hit residential areas of Nyala, South Darfur, hitting and destroying civilian houses. 32 people were killed and dozens injured. #TalkAboutSudan

Guinea has eliminated sleeping sickness as a public health problem – the first neglected tropical disease ever eliminated in the country! stories.dndi.org/boletmouna/

#Uganda: Ebola outbreak has been confirmed by the Ugandan Ministry of Health, following the death of a 32-year-old nurse on Wednesday 29 January. We have been asked to support with the response, and are currently assessing where and how we can best assist. Our work with Ebola: www.msf.org/ebola

Today is #WorldNTDDay! Science and innovation are our strongest tools to #EndTheNeglect and build a future without neglected tropical diseases. By investing in research and developing safer, simpler, and more effective treatments, we can bring hope to millions affected. #BeatNTDs

The Dengue Alliance met in Bangkok, bringing together leading scientists from India, Switzerland, Thailand, Malaysia & Brazil, and discussed exciting progress on pre-clinical, clinical development, diagnostics, and biomarkers. Thanks to @SirirajMedicine for hosting. Together, we can tackle #dengue!

“A severe blow to the protection of human rights for migrants and asylum seekers…" ⬆️ This is what the new US executive orders mean. And my colleagues in Mexico are already seeing patients in despair over having their asylum appointments cancelled. www.msf.org/msf-highligh...

#SelfCare: Globally, many women still do not have access to essential healthcare, and struggle with managing sexual and reproductive health issues that may be stigmatized. For women & girls who face significant barriers to medical care, self-care can help them stay well—it can even be lifesaving.

We're mourning the death of Bilal Okal, our ninth @msf.org colleague killed in Gaza by Israeli forces. He was killed in December 2024, along with 10 members of his family, when an airstrike hit their home. My thoughts are with Bilal's family and friends.

Following a measles outbreak in August, MSF vaccinates 70,000 children against the disease in one of the most neglected provinces of Democratic Republic of Congo. #DRCongo www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/drc-combatti...

We call for this fragile relief to be more than a pause!

Φindings show an exceptionally high mortality rate in the Gaza Strip during the period studied. These results underscore the urgent need for interventions to prevent further loss of life and illuminate important patterns in the conduct of the war. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

#SouthSudan: Outbreak of #cholera in Unity State. We're responding w/ a 100-bed Cholera Treatment Center in the Bentiu IDP Camp and supporting the Ministry of Health & other organizations with 2 additional cholera treatment centers. We are also providing water, sanitation, and preventive measures.

Winter is setting in in Gaza. Over a quarter of the patients at Nasser hospital’s paediatric unit are for respiratory distress syndrome. Families can't protect themselves from the dropping temperatures. A ceasefire is the only way to ease suffering ⬇️ www.msf.org/babies-gaza-...

The conflict in Sudan is a war on people. The aid response in Sudan is a global humanitarian failure. This war has seen extreme violence from both sides and caused a man-made humanitarian crisis. Full interview from @msf.org hospital in Zalingei (3 wks ago): www.linkedin.com/posts/chrisl...

Luckily, no one was injured www.msf.org/msf-condemns...

Fouad watched in horror as armed men took his wife & children back to Libya while they were adrift in Intl. waters. Desperate, he jumped into the sea after being told they’d let his wife go with him, but it was in vain. He shared this harrowing story with MSF after his rescue.

Today we escalate our urgent call for a #ceasefire in #Gaza. We're seeing unmistakable signs of ethnic cleansing in the north. @msf.ca's firsthand witnessing align with descriptions by legal experts concluding genocide is taking place in Gaza. Our new report lays bare the brutal reality. #MedSky

The 83 men and boys rescued on the 28th safely disembarked today in Reggio Calabria. However, the 29 women and girls traveling with them faced a different fate. Armed men forcibly took them back to Libya, tearing families apart.

“They beat us with the butt of their rifles to silence us. Then, at gunpoint, they took the women and children.” Mara, the psychologist aboard Geo Barents, recounts the harrowing testimonies of the survivors we rescued yesterday. 🎥⤵️

This morning, MSF teams responded to a devastating shipwreck near Samos. We provided urgent medical and psychological care to 12 survivors, including a child. Many were in profound distress, having witnessed loved ones perish during the tragedy. 💔

The war in Sudan is truly horrific and heartbreaking. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
