Dr Christos Christou
Surgeon & Humanitarian Leader | Refuse to accept inhumanity as the default.
- After six years serving as International President of @msf.org, the time has come to pass the torch. This role has never been about power, but about responsibility.
- Deeply saddened by the passing of Dr David Nabarro, a steadfast voice for global health and a longtime friend of the humanitarian community. Our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. His wisdom, warmth and tireless commitment to health equity will be deeply missed.
- There’s no other feeling to describe reading our @msf.org 2024 International Activity Report than gratitude. Thank you to all my MSF colleagues, for being there for people and providing medical care to those who need it. Learn about their amazing work in 2024: www.msf.org/internationa...
- European leaders have the means to expedite a ceasefire in Gaza but continue to issue hollow statements in response to Israel's atrocities. @consilium.europa.eu @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @president.europarl.europa.eu @kajakallas.bsky.social - every delay is complicity. www.msf.org/open-letter-...
- Reposted by Dr Christos ChristouFollowing 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...
- Being on TIME's 100 leaders in philanthropy is an honour. Recognition of what @msf.org’s 7 million donors and 69,000 staff make possible with communities we serve. A movement of people, connected by solidarity, give their time, money, and voice to our humanitarian action. time.com/collections/...
- ❌ No food ❌ No fuel ❌ No medicine ❌ No basic supplies None of these items have been allowed to enter Gaza since 2 March. We call on the UNSC, the UNSG, NGOs, celebrities and advocates to join us in urging the Israeli authorities to #StopNOW weaponising aid in Gaza.
- I had the fortune of visiting the @msf.org centre for survivors of extreme violence in Mexico City 2 years ago. And while I always hope less people are in need of the comprehensive care provided there, I'm grateful we're there for people who have endured too much in life.

- While statements are made in this chamber, civilians remain unseen, unprotected, bombed, besieged, raped, displaced, deprived of food, of medical care, of dignity.

- Our entire @msf.org family is in mourning over the tragic death of our colleague, Jerry Muhindo Kavali, in DRC. Jerry worked with us since 2014 and was known for his constant smile. My thoughts are with his family and all his loved ones. Even war has rules. www.msf.org/democratic-r...

- “A severe blow to the protection of human rights for migrants and asylum seekers…" ⬆️ This is what the new US executive orders mean. And my colleagues in Mexico are already seeing patients in despair over having their asylum appointments cancelled. www.msf.org/msf-highligh...

- We're mourning the death of Bilal Okal, our ninth @msf.org colleague killed in Gaza by Israeli forces. He was killed in December 2024, along with 10 members of his family, when an airstrike hit their home. My thoughts are with Bilal's family and friends.

- We call for this fragile relief to be more than a pause!
- Φindings show an exceptionally high mortality rate in the Gaza Strip during the period studied. These results underscore the urgent need for interventions to prevent further loss of life and illuminate important patterns in the conduct of the war. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

- Winter is setting in in Gaza. Over a quarter of the patients at Nasser hospital’s paediatric unit are for respiratory distress syndrome. Families can't protect themselves from the dropping temperatures. A ceasefire is the only way to ease suffering ⬇️ www.msf.org/babies-gaza-...
- Reposted by Dr Christos ChristouThe 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...
