.World Health Organization (WHO) and partners went to Khan Younis yesterday to assess the health facilities there. The team described the destruction as 'disproportionate to anything one can imagine'. No building or road is intact, there is only rubble and dirt.

Hostilities in the vicinity of a WHO…

It must stop now!

People in #Gaza tell us the number of times they've been displaced within the Strip before arriving in Rafah. There are now 1.5 million people there.

An offensive on Rafah would only be catastrophic.

We call for an immediate ceasefire.

“Patients are dying due to violence-related injuries and preventable illnesses; children are perishing due to malnutrition.”

Ahead of the date that will mark one year of conflict in #Sudan , I urge international organisations to scale up their response.

Only 20 - 30% of health facilities remain functional in #Sudan as it is.

Without supplies and staff reaching these facilities, people’s ability to get treatment when needed is becoming even more limited.

#TalkAboutSudanMSF

Despite the difficulties, MSF’s presence & the medical care we have been able to provide demonstrate that it is possible to carry out humanitarian work in #Sudan .
In the face of immense needs, a massive scale-up of the humanitarian response is urgently needed.
#TalkAboutSudanMSF

In Sudan, many die due to violence related injuries and preventable illnesses.

Children die due to malnutrition.

Women die because of complications during pregnancy/childbirth.

Patients with chronic diseases die because they are running out of medication.

#TalkAboutSudanMSF

We’re seeing catastrophic levels of malnutrition in Sudan. Over 8.4 million people have fled their home since April 2023. The United Nations has estimated that 13,900 people have been killed since the war began. Although this is likely an underestimate.

Sudan is one of the worst crises the world has seen for decades. There are extreme levels of suffering across the country, the needs are growing by the day, but the humanitarian response is deeply inadequate. - Christos Christou #LetsTalkAboutSudanMSF

Today, April 5th at around 3:00am, our MSF International office in Pokrovsk, in the Donetsk region, in Ukraine was bombed and completely destroyed. All our staff are safe. Five civilians who were close to the office were injured. #WarInUkraine

33,000 people killed
200 humanitarian workers killed
We need a sustained ceasefire now in #Gaza

#MSF is outraged by this deadly attack on humanitarian workers trying to provide food to people in dire need in #Gaza . #ceasefirenow

We're horrified that Al-Shifa Hospital is in ruins after a 14-day long operation by Israeli forces in and around the facility.

Gaza’s largest hospital is now out of service.

Given the extent of the destruction, people in the north are left with even fewer healthcare options.

MSF provides medical and surgical wound care in Al Aqsa hospital, the only facility in the Middle Area with the capacity to offer trauma care. We reiterate our call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire. Civilians, healthcare premises and medical staff must be protected.

After the attack, part of the MSF team had to stop providing care. “When our team heard a loud explosion nearby, they stopped what they were doing right away to seek cover inside the hospital, until confirmed that the attack was over,” said one of the MSF coordinators.

#Gaza : At noon, March 31st 2024, an Israeli airstrike hit the yard of the Al Aqsa hospital compound where many internally displaced people are sheltering, just outside of the emergency room. People were killed and injured.

I just returned from Darfur where I heard horrific stories of the violence communities have endured, even within medical facilities.⬇️

Thank you to everyone who sent me questions about the situation facing Sudanese refugees in Eastern Chad.

I’ve been visiting Sudanese people within our medical facilities to understand how the international community can scale up to meet their urgent needs.

“Council members must ensure that the ceasefire is put into action immediately and doesn’t end up being merely words on paper.”

Avril Benoît responds following the UN Security Council resolution on a temporary ceasefire in #Gaza .

“When you see it for yourself, it becomes visceral.”

MSF International Secretary General Christopher Lockyear just visited Gaza. Now, he tells me that if an Israeli incursion into Rafah begins, “I can’t imagine any scenario which is not utterly catastrophic.”
