Ebola Outbreak Could Push Nearly One Million More People into Poverty and Cost Africa Billions, warns UN Development Programme
A new United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) assessment warns that the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is sparking a far-reaching socioeconomic crisis which could push 985,000 more people into poverty, with women disproportionately suffering the economic and health fallout. The Ebola crisis also risks eliminating tens of thousands of jobs, disrupting education and healthcare services, and costing African economies up to US$ 3.6 billion if broader regional and global shocks intensify.

Of the patients admitted to @msf.ca our #Ebola treatment ctr in #DRC, 68% of confirmed cases admitted are women. But there is hope. And our teams are clear about what it takes. The women of DRC deserve more than to be a statistic. They deserve a response & a hope that is radical. #HopeisRadical
⚽️In #Gaza, an estimated 421 footballers have been killed since 2023. More than 1,000 #Palestinian athletes total. The people we treat @msf.ca aren't categories. They're not just patients. They're people who loved the same things we do--including the beautiful game. #FIFAWorldCup2026 #Canada

The World Health Organization says the fast‑spreading #Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo poses a "very high" risk. As officials work to contain it, deep cuts to global aid are making the job harder. @sana.msf.ca (@msf.ca) joins us to shed light on the situation lnk.to/bigstory
“The number of cases & deaths we’re seeing in such a short timeframe, combined with the spread across several health zones + now across the border, is extremely concerning. Trish Newport, Emergency Program Manager for @msf.ca. Learn more: www.msf.org/msf-preparin...
You know what's a perfect storm? - A virus - A world where authoritarianism is rising - A world where multi-lateralism is failing - A WHO weakened by US exit - Deep, abrupt aid cuts by rich nations - Anti-scientific leadership in the US - Growing anti-vax movement - Disinformation is everywhere

@mark-carney.bsky.social just spoke abt the worsening humanitarian crisis in #Gaza and ongoing settler violence in the #WestBank. At @msf.ca, our medical teams are witnessing the consequences every day. Read direct testimonies from #Palestine on our website: www.Doctorswithoutborders.ca #Canada
A decade ago, the world agreed to protect healthcare in conflict. Today, that promise is still being broken. It’s time for real accountability. Read more on @msf.ca: lnkd.in/eKBftZMX
"There are no condolences or platitudes that will erase yesterday’s harm. But there’s still time for global reckoning that could prevent tomorrow’s tragedies." - @sana.msf.ca For Canada, the 10th anniversary of #Resolution2286 should be a wake-up call: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/a-decade-on-...
#Canada’s international aid is not meant to act as a trade strategy. People deserve care because they are human. Not because they trade something, produce something, or benefit our markets. #RandeepSarai #IDW2026
“The biggest impact is not going to be on aid organizations. The biggest impact is going to be on the Palestinian people,” says @sana.msf.ca, our Executive Director. Israel’s withholding of NGO registrations could end MSF’s operations in #Gaza by March 1: ca.news.yahoo.com/gaza-aid-und...

#Access is what allows #journalists to bear witness. It allows aid workers to deliver care. When both journalists & aid orgs lose access— you should be deeply, deeply concerned.
Last night, government forces bombarded an @msf.ca hospital in South Sudan. This is part of an alarming and dangerous pattern: 🚨 Attacks on healthcare are becoming normalized in conflict zones. Pay attention. Demand accountability. #NotATarget
The situation in #Gaza and the #WestBank is fast moving, and we encourage you to find accurate information about how we're supporting staff and Palestinian communities on our FAQ page. Read the full statement and FAQ here: https://ow.ly/ohee50Y6lkv
“Let’s not call it deregistration, let’s call it a death sentence — that is exactly what it would be for the Palestinian people,” says @sana.msf.ca, MSF Executive Director, as Israel moves to bar nearly 40 aid groups under new registration rules. montrealgazette.com/news/local-n...
