In Greece, we meet people who have survived journeys that no one should ever be forced to take. When people who have fled extreme violence and persecution reach Europe they expect safety. Instead, they are “treated as suspects”. @chrislockyear.msf.org, describes the situation from Lesbos 👇

Current events are making it challenging to track MPs and reputable organisations that are permanently migrating to Bluesky. If folks see examples that we need to assess for verification - do let me know. Will limit it largely to politicians, govt orgs and large orgs at the moment for this pass.

@camanpour.bsky.social asked @chrislockyear.msf.org what will happen to people in Gaza if NGOs aren't there to provide care, given that Israel is taking steps to stop our work. His answer: That’s essentially our question too. What we do know is that people need more services, not less. msf.me/int

In Ukraine, many people, often elderly, people live on the frontline, forced to choose between daily terror or fleeing into the unknown. I spoke with @cnn.com about the work of Ukrainian organisations and @msf.org, as winter deepens and humanitarian needs grow: edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/t...

Gaza’s only remaining lifeline—humanitarian assistance—is being weaponized. Supplies are throttled. If not blocked outright, they are rerouted to advance military and political objectives. Via @al-jazeera-english.bsky.social the experience of @msf.org teams www.aljazeera.com/video/inside...

Why is Israel killing so many Palestinians seeking food in Gaza?

Desperate Palestinians have faced a barrage of attacks by Israeli forces at food sites.

An appalling incident. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of the Relief International team. Sincere condolences from @msf.org. Relief International were the only international humanitarian organisation still operating for the people in Zamzam camp, Sudan.

I have no doubt that @chrislockyear.msf.org could have spoken for hours about the horrific crimes of war in Sudan. But the real question is - what will the #UNSC do? They’ve mastered the art of listening, but where is the action on Peace and Security?

#Sudan: @chrislockyear.msf.org describes "a scene of utter devastation and carnage" after yesterday's attacks in the Khartoum area. Some hospitals just a few kilometers away remain unreachable by our teams due to difficulties crossing the front line. #TalkAboutSudan soundcloud.com/msf_canada/s...

The possible ceasefire in #Gaza must be respected and long-term, it is only the first step in addressing the overwhelming humanitarian, psychological, and medical needs in Gaza. We urge all parties to ensure humanitarian aid reaches people across the Strip now.
