Tis the season when we repeat "peace on earth" -- even as a massacre has been unfolding in El Fasher, Sudan, apparently claiming tens of thousands of lives. It may have slaughtered as many people in seven weeks as the Gaza war did in two years. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/o...

"Ukraine can rebuild its cities, its infrastructure, and its economy. What it cannot do is reclaim the lives lost or undo the profound scars left on its youngest generation.” President Putin must return Ukraine’s children. My latest in @newsweek.com www.newsweek.com/president-pu...

2024 was the most violent year on record for aid workers. Health workers + health facilities are being systematically targeted by states to speed civilian deaths from preventable causes. Preventable deaths. Preventable attacks. Healthcare is #NotATarget #WorldHumanitarianDay

🚨Report🚨 @HRL_YaleSPH confirms bombardment attacks on Naivasha Market in Abu Shouk IDP Camp in satellite imagery. 40+ people including children, a pregnant woman, + an ERR volunteer were reportedly killed by RSF bombardment between 11-17 August. 📸@Maxar medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnoo...

There's nothing better to do with your philanthropy than this. Please consider supporting the Humanitarian Research Lab and its important work, including helping to locate kidnapped Ukrainian children. @hrl-yalesph.bsky.social medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnood/

Hey: want to help support researchers with terminated funding? My colleague Kaveh Khoshnood and the HRL document war crimes and atrocities, and their work makes a direct difference in places like Ukraine and Gaza. You can help them keep their team employed: medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnoo...

Extensive investigation by @hrw.org team in Ukraine 🇺🇦 finds no military targets present or justification for strikes that killed Ukraine’s civilians, including the deadliest attack yet on children. More from @belkiswille.bsky.social —>

From Poltava to Kryvyi Rih, @hrw documents 4 Russian strikes that killed 47 civilians and injured 180+. No military targets. No justification. Just Ukrainian civilian lives lost. 📄Read the evidence. Demand justice. www.hrw.org/news/2025/05... Ukraine #JusticeMatters #HumanRights

A bipartisan resolution calling for 🇺🇦’s stolen children to be returned prior to negotiations was introduced by @ChuckGrassley and @amyklobuchar, following pressure from 40+ ✝️ leaders calling on Pres Trump to return the kids. More > t.co/F1ETbA6kbU
