- “Are we seeing a bonfire of international law?” — the question at the heart of this Inside Geneva special. Aid bans, shifting US priorities, and real-world consequences in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine and beyond. With @imogenfoulkes.bsky.social 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/i...
- "It’s natural to feel uncertain and helpless. But it’s important to remind ourselves that just because of what is going on in the world, it doesn’t mean that solidarity and compassion and care have diminished." Interview on the work of @msf.org thanks to the @bigissue.com
- 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...
- "So many were killed–yet on her release, my mother said ‘shalom’ to her captors" "a simple, human gesture in the midst of unimaginable horror" “There are many of us that long to build bridges” Harrowing and graceful by Sharone Lifschitz
- Mariam, along with four other Palestinian journalists, was killed in Nasser hospital yesterday. Devastating. Mariam frequently worked with @msf.org. Here is some of her exceptional and harrowing work curated by @apnews.com : lnkd.in/dGdh-hmD
- On hearing of the tragic loss of Abdullah Hammad, the 12th @msf.org staff member killed in Gaza since October 2023, I try and explain orchestrated disaster our teams on the ground are witnessing on a daily basis. edition.cnn.com/2025/07/04/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...
- Delivering humanitarian aid in a conflict zone is a serious matter. It is action that takes expertise and principles to accomplish. Latest Inside Geneva podcast on why politicising and militarising aid is a fatal mistake.
- Latest Inside Geneva podcast is out. Why politicising and militarising aid can be fatal. Huge thanks to @sg-nrc.bsky.social, @chrislockyear.msf.org & @philipgrant40.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...
- Following attacks on humanitarians in South Sudan, Gaza, and Sudan, including @msf.org and killings of Palestine Red Crescent Society & Relief International staff ....the silence is deafening No outrage No accountability What is the cost for killing humanitarians? swissinfo.ch/eng/internat...
- 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.
- Treating millions while global aid falls apart': only possible due to the strong (and predominantly unrestricted!) support of our over 7.3 million private donors around the world.
- Doctors Without Borders Secretary-General @chrislockyear.msf.org talks to @aljazeera.com about working in war zones like #Sudan and #Gaza and the impact of aid funding cuts. www.aljazeera.com/program/talk...
- On @bbcworldservice.bsky.social, on the horrific scenes in the @msf.org supported Al Nao hospital, Omdurman #Sudan. Another graphic illustration of this war on civilians. Including what it takes to have our medical teams present, and our engagement with all sides of the conflict.
- #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.
- Sudan: Inside the world’s worst humanitarian crisis We are witnessing a global humanitarian failure. Much more could have been done, much more can be done, and much more should be done. english.elpais.com/internationa... @elpais.com @msf.org @msfespana.bsky.social
- The conflict in Sudan is a war on people. The aid response in Sudan is a global humanitarian failure. This war has seen extreme violence from both sides and caused a man-made humanitarian crisis. Full interview from @msf.org hospital in Zalingei (3 wks ago): www.linkedin.com/posts/chrisl...
- @msf.org Gaza report: • Repeated attacks on civilians • Systematic denial of humanitarian assistance • Teams in the north of Gaza seeing clear signs of ethnic cleansing as Palestinians are forcibly displaced, trapped, and bombed. • The health care system lies in ruins www.msf.org/msf-report-e...
- I hope that the Government of #Sweden will reconsider its decision to stop funding of UNRWA in 2025. This decision will make providing essential humanitarian assistance more difficult for all organisations in #Gaza, including @msf.org. www.tv4play.se/klipp/a766d1...
- People in Gaza are struggling to survive apocalyptic conditions, but nowhere is safe, no one is spared, and there is no exit from this shattered enclave. @msf.org report:
- I am visiting @msf.ca teams in Darfur, Sudan. This morning I spoke to the BBC World Service from El Geneina. The devastating impact of this is war on people is clear, as is the imperative to massively scale up and coordinate humanitarian aid. Go to 41m. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w...
