After months of unsuccessful engagement with Israeli authorities, and in the absence of assurances regarding the safety of our staff we have concluded that we will not share a list of Palestinian and international staff with Israeli authorities. www.msf.org/msf-statemen...

Since 2015, MSF teams in Lesvos have been providing primary healthcare, mental health support, sexual & reproductive health services, outreach, and emergency medical assistance to people arriving by boat. 🧵

It’s been almost three years of war in #Sudan. Our Sudanese colleagues lost homes, loved ones and peace of mind but every day, they still show up to care for others. Watch our staff share their stories and read more about their journeys: https://ow.ly/Am1p50XWZaT#Sudan #TalkAboutSudan

🧵We are witnessing a worrying global trend: attacks on NGOs. Greece is no exception! Solidarity and humanitarian aid are not crimes, yet the new migration law criminalises humanitarian work.

Seeking safety is not a crime.

This is winter in Gaza. People are facing torrential rain and heavy winds while living in makeshift shelters. All the while Israel continues to block or delay the entry of vital supplies like tents, tarpaulins, and temporary housing.

An alarming escalation of clashes between armed groups and the police in the Bel Air neighbourhood of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, has killed one person and forced the suspension of activities. 

In 2025, we marked 10 years of @msf.ca in Lesvos. A decade of care, solidarity and standing with people seeking safety. We celebrated with a photo exhibition and a public discussion with the local community. Our commitment remains the same: quality care for all and defending human dignity.

🧵“We had a comfortable life in Sudan and leaving it was very difficult. But it was our only option,” says Khaled, who is from Al-Jazirah, Sudan, but is now living in Aswan, Egypt. “Our home country is left without healthcare, older people like me can't stay long without it.”

WATCH: MSF Executive Director @sana.msf.ca speaks to CTV about vital humanitarian activities in #Palestine at risk from Israeli registration rules. MSF provides a vast amount of life-saving healthcare, yet even this is not enough to meet the overwhelming needs of people in #Gaza.

⚫Another deadly shipwreck: during the night of 19 December, 116 people went missing from a boat according to @alarmphone.bsky.social Tunisian fishermen reportedly found a single survivor on a wooden boat, who said he was the only one to make it. Safe passage, now! alarmphone.org/en/2025/12/2...

NEW EPISODE: @msfsea.bsky.social’s Juan Matias Gil tells us how the Italian government made it impossible for the medical charity to use its Geo Barents rescue ship. He also tells us about MSF’s new rescue vessel, the Oyvon –and what happened on its first rescue mission.

Os regalo un vídeo de mi familia @msfsea.bsky.social como siempre muy interesante

On Tuesday morning, just a week after a young boy was found dead on the shores of Samos, another shipwreck put 35 lives at risk. Hours later, a man was found dead, while 2 people remain missing, including a pregnant woman carrying twins.

🎙️In her voice, Simona, our medical doctor on board Oyvon, narrates what she has witnessed at sea. She reflects on the dangerous journeys that people undertake in search of safety. Moments filled with uncertainty, fear and a loom of hope.

Every year, hundreds of people go missing at sea. Join us as we mark a decade of rescue operations. Survivors, NGOs & stakeholders will reflect on maritime rescue & humanitarian spaces in the Mediterranean. 📅 Dec 3 I h. 15 📍Via Della Dogana Vecchia, Roma Register 👉 t.co/D37ovsHhxp

We are back in the Central Mediterranean with our new search and rescue vessel Oyvon, after almost one year of being forced to terminate operations with our last rescue vessel, the Geo Barents. 🚢 Riccardo Gatti, Team Leader, and Julie Melichar, Project Coordinator update:

"We can see the fear in their eyes." @doctorswithoutborders.org colleagues are bearing witness to unconscionable violence and malnutrition in Sudan's North Darfur region, as people flee the embattled city of El Fasher. @wbur.org

Some good news from the Mediterranean! Here's hoping that @sos-humanity.bsky.social and @msfsea.bsky.social will be able to carry out their (literally) life-saving work unhindered. www.infomigrants.net/en/post/6818...

🟢Rescue complete Last night, in the dark, the Oyvon team rescued 27 people who were in distress on a rubber boat. The group were in shock, and as one of them told our team, "If you hadn't rescued us, we would have died."

🚨This morning, 41 people, who had spent three distressing days at sea on an overcrowded and unseaworthy rubber boat, were brought to safety on board the Oyvon. Three of the survivors are women and 14 are children, nine of whom are unaccompanied. 🧵

Today around 04:30, MSF crew onboard Oyvon overheard a mayday relay over radio from Frontex's Eagle 1, about a boat in distress with around 50 people on board. Our team proceeded to navigate towards the last known position of the boat after informing all relevant authorities. 🧵

🚨MSF is back in the central Mediterranean with Oyvon, our new search and rescue vessel. Refitted & ready, we’re committed to saving lives on one of the deadliest migration routes in the world. 🌊

⚠️Our solidarity is with the crew and survivors onboard Mediterranea! After 3 rescue operations over the past 2 days, the vessel is currently positioned off Porto Empedocle in Sicily with 92 people who have already survived a shipwreck, including 31 unaccompanied minors.

Horror is unfolding in El Fasher, Sudan. People are seemingly trapped in the city, and @msf.org teams 60 km away are receiving malnourished people among those who have managed to escape. Civilians must be urgently protected, and safe escape routes must be provided.

Last weekend, our Seabird aircrew saw two illegal interceptions. People were abducted by Libyan militias, while @frontex.bsky.social ignored NGO's and enabled interceptions. But what exactly happened? ⬇️

@msf.ca was recently ordered, in a letter from the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to leave the country by November 9. No reason has been given to justify our expulsion, and the process remains unclear.

Following recent legislative changes in Greece and the adoption of a hardline deterrence narrative, a sequence of administrative barriers has created an environment where people have no legal way to seek protection and no safe way to survive. 🧵

Yesterday, 40 people including newborn babies drowned in the Mediterranean Sea off Tunisia after a shipwreck. This migration route is part of one of the deadliest worldwide and is mainly overseen.

🔴 Another avoidable tragedy has unfolded in the Mediterranean, as a boat carrying people shipwrecked near the coast of Tunisia, claiming the lives of 40 people, including several infants. This is the result of the EU's migration policy. bit.ly/3JdudLO

Why do so many men in the Middle East and North Africa struggle to reach out for #mentalhealth support? Our staff in #Sudan, #Palestine and #Lebanon share what they’re seeing, from stigma to social expectations and what can help change that.

Our #WithHumanity campaign calling on the EU to save lives of people seeking safety or a better life is a finalist at the Anthem Awards! 🤝🙌 You can amplify the call with a vote for #WithHumanity for the Community Voice Award before Oct 30! 🗳️ https://wbby.co/HCAWNP

Many world leaders will get a letter from me today, demanding overdue concrete action to save Palestinian lives. They must increase the number of medical evacuations from Gaza. Patients with life-threatening conditions cannot wait any longer:

For ten years, the #EU has been implementing increasingly repressive policies towards migrants to limit arrivals. A new report by #MSF shows it have made routes longer and more dangerous, leading to the deaths of thousands of people. prez.ly/Kazd

🚨 Today is the Main Action Day! Join us and @refugeesinlibya.bsky.social in today’s events.

⚠️Armed violence against people on the move and rescue NGOs is escalating alarmingly. There have been 2 attacks since Friday, a total of 4 in the past 6 weeks. ‼️Again, Italy & the EU must stop supporting and financing these actions and ensure accountability for the perpetrators.

As the @ec.europa.eu and @frontex.bsky.social are rolling out the red carpet for Libyan militias in their EU headquarters, we are publishing the first significant data collection on extreme cases of violence committed by Libyan actors in the Mediterranean since 2016.

“Italy needs to stop its complicity with the Libyan Coast Guard, who are implicated in the torture, exploitation, and degrading treatment of the people they interdict and bring back to Libya.” @hrw.org
