My @msf.org colleagues have opened a fistula care unit with the Ministry of Health in Somalia. Read on to learn how this new unit at Bay Regional hospital is changing lives ⬇️ 

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.

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:

I’ll never forget the feeling of returning to Tigray, Ethiopia, at the end of the war in 2022, to restart services around Shire and Sheraro. At that time, people would wait for more than a day to see a doctor.

@msf.org is sharing shocking statistics about the need for trauma care in Port-au-Prince, Haiti – not a new feature since I was there in 2010 but staggering in scale today. Between Jan and June, our teams assisted 2,600 survivors of sexual violence:

The progress made by the Global Fund in the fight against HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria is under threat because of funding cuts. The UK, Canada, US, and Germany, need to act now and pledge to fund their lifesaving work around the world. Tag your elected representative.

Get to know our new International President, Dr Javid! @intlpresident.msf.org answers 5 questions about himself 👇

My colleague Hussein was a dedicated nurse and father. Yesterday, he died of injuries from an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. Our thoughts are with Hussein’s wife and young children. His killing isn't a tragic accident, it's unacceptable proof that no one is safe from genocide.

The Global Sumud Flotilla on its way to Gaza is an act of protest and a show of support for Palestinians enduring annihilation through Israel’s genocide. I’m wishing the flotilla success. At @msf.org, we support this action of solidarity and humanity.

“Governments around the world – through political, military, or material support to Israel, or through silence – are complicit in the genocide [in Gaza].” - @chrislockyear.msf.org  Doctors can’t stop genocide, world leaders can.

I’m honoured to be starting as @msf.org's International President. For 16 years, I’ve seen how MSF's dedicated humanitarians continue to care for those in need, while government policies put profit over people and planet. I’m sharing the message that our shared humanity matters.
