Funding gaps have meant that host communities in Adré, Chad, are excluded from food distributions, leading to malnutrition among children and pregnant women. International donors must scale up funding and include host communities in aid.

Children and pregnant women in Adré, Chad - especially those from the local community - are becoming malnourished as severe funding cuts impact on food aid supplies.

One of my first assignments with MSF was in the Cité Soleil neighbourhood of Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince.  Today, I’m concerned that people there face risking their lives to seek medical care or go without, given the violence.

Haiti People risk their lives to seek medical care | MSF

The Cité Soleil neighbourhood in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, is a prime example of the barriers to accessing healthcare.

Across Palestine, the cumulative effect of Israel’s actions on Palestinians since 7 October 2023 is clear: they have eroded the ability for Palestinians to live a dignified, healthy life.  My opinion piece for Al Jazeera: 

The number one health issue in Palestine is the Israeli occupation | MSF

Since October 2023, Israel's attacks on Palestinians hinders their ability to live a dignified, healthy life. A shift in policy is depserately needed.

My colleagues in Gaza are continuing to provide specialised rehabilitation care to patients, despite supply restrictions. I know that our late colleague Abood, my friend and the cornerstone of @msf.org physiotherapy work in Gaza, would have been alongside, innovating. I’m glad to see his legacy.

Complex trauma wounds need specialised care, including rehabilitation. Our colleagues in Gaza are adapting their physical therapy work because of supply restrictions. Mohammed Alyazji tells us about the alternative materials being used to meet patients’ needs ⬇️

Have you heard of the new drug lenacapavir? It’s nearly 100% effective at preventing HIV. The problem: It’s not available everywhere, and it is far too expensive. Let’s change that: Two shots. $40. Everywhere.

During my visit to Darfur, Sudan, I met @msf.org colleagues at Zalingei hospital, where drone strikes regularly occur just outside the walls. During mass casualty events, they work under intense pressure to save lives. The world must not look away from the conflict in Sudan.

I visited Zalingei Teaching hospital in Central Darfur, Sudan, earlier this month. The hospital had been bombed and looted and I was proud to see the work that our teams had achieved in restoring healthcare to people – something that should never have been lost.

In 2016, the international community reaffirmed that the wounded and sick, as well as those who care for them, must be protected. That attacks on healthcare continue to occur 10 years on is a failure of political will. 

Joint call by the ICRC WHO and MSF for states to uphold Resolution 2286 | MSF

On the 10th Anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 2286, the ICRC, WHO, and MSF call on states to uphold the protection of medical care in armed conflict.

msf.org

Ten years after the UN Security Council adopted resolution 2286, reaffirming protection of medical facilities and personnel, attacks on healthcare still continue. That attacks still occur is a failure of political will.  https://www.msf.org/joint-call-icrc-who-and-msf-states-uphold-resolution-2286

10 years ago today, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2286. Over 80 Member States committed to protect medical humanitarian work. Yet @msf.org is sharing the same message from 2016: 🔴 Stop bombing hospitals. 🔴 Stop bombing health workers. 🔴 Stop bombing patients.

Three words to describe three years of war in Sudan: catastrophe, atrocities, impunity. These words don’t just describe a ‘humanitarian situation’, they are the daily reality of people and communities — and this continues because of political failure. #TalkAboutSudan

Why Chopper? Why now? Because we believe in helping those in need of medical care, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or politics. This is something Chopper and @msf.org share. Watch the journey begin by following: https://www.msf.org/ChopperJoinsMSF/   #MSFxCHOPPER

Women in Somalia often face “triple delays” in accessing healthcare; a delay in seeking care, in reaching care, and in receiving care. These delays can have deadly consequences.

In 2014, I visited eastern DRC, where @msf.org teams were treating sleeping sickness - the only available treatment was a drug so toxic it killed 1 in 20 patients. In 2026 I'm so proud that, thanks to @dndi.org, patients can be cured with a single dose of a groundbreaking new oral drug, acoziborole.

The full-scale war in Ukraine continues to empty communities, pushing people into displacement shelters. It’s heartening to see that @MSF has stepped up presence in shelters through mobile clinics, providing people with some care during a harsh winter:

More than 20 years ago, the world mobilised for Darfur, Sudan. Today, world leaders shouldn’t look away from the plight of El Fasher. We cannot let El Fasher become a milestone of horrific violence. Read more from me and @msf.org on @aljazeera.com:

After el-Fasher, we must refuse a ‘new normal’ of mass atrocities in Darfur

Massacres at the start of the war in Sudan should have shocked the world into action. They didn't.

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:

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.
