@doctorswithoutborders.org: A Sudanese Armed Forces drone struck a market in Nyala, S Darfur, yesterday, causing mass casualties. It's the 2nd time this month. Why are markets being targeted? Places where civilians gather for food? www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/sudan...

Earlier this year, the Trump administration ended temporary legal status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians who had fled violence and upheaval for the U.S. Our new documentary "Haiti Deportation Crisis" goes inside Haiti to investigate the conditions on the ground. https://to.pbs.org/4hTLA1e

Today, a drone struck a busy market in Nyala, South Darfur. @doctorswithoutborders.org calls for an end to attacks on markets and other civilian areas in Sudan www.doctorswithoutborders.org/what-we-do/where-we-work/sudan

Children are especially vulnerable to Ebola virus disease. An urgent call from @doctorswithoutborders.org to improve medical research for children affected by the current outbreak.

Over 1,400 people were killed in gang-related violence in Haiti between April and June alone. The neighborhood struck in the latest attack had already endured an attack last month which left 105 people dead. Haiti is not safe for people to return to. Gift link: www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Under the 2nd Trump administration, the US has excluded Yemen from humanitarian funding and food aid. Humanitarian organizations have scaled back services at many health care centers, increasing demand at @doctorswithoutborders.org -supported facilities. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/yemen...

World Humanitarian Day falls this week, so hats off to aid workers struggling to help others even when they are defunded and targeted. Last year 350 aid workers were killed, mostly in Gaza and Sudan, and 235 were kidnapped. So thank you for your courage and dedication.

Hospital admissions for severe malnutrition in Somalian displacement camps have surged 83 percent compared with last year, Doctors Without Borders reported, as the African country weathers drought and aid cuts from the U.S. and other donors.

@doctorswithoutborders.org teams are doing everything they can to save children's lives in southwestern Somalia amid a malnutrition crisis and a complete suspension of US humanitarian aid. Their message: the world must do more. wapo.st/45r1k6e @washingtonpost.com

@doctorswithoutborders.org had to suspend operations for three weeks at a maternity hospital in Port-au-Prince due to armed clashes. Now that we've returned, we're sharing the stories of how people were affected by this violence. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/msf-r...

More than 300,000 Haitians in the US lost TPS and face deportation. But is it safe to return to Haiti? Jelle Krings' new photo story in @theguardian.com vividly shows otherwise. Françoise, 8 months pregnant, receives care at a @doctorswithoutborders.org clinic, days after gun battles shook the area

"Under international law, hospitals, healthcare workers and wounded people are afforded special protection. It was a founding principle of the first Geneva convention in 1864 ..." But today we "almost have to justify why we shouldn't be targeted" says Liz Harding of @doctorswithoutborders.org

From Ukraine and Sudan to Gaza: why have hospitals become a target of war?

In Ukraine, attacks on the medical system are impacting people's ability to seek care, and medical staff’s ability to provide it.

"Public services have all but collapsed. Entire neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince have fallen within the control of violent armed groups." @doctorswithoutborders.org Tirana Hassan writes on Haiti's crisis in @time.com after a Supreme Court ruling raises risk of deportations time.com/article/2026...

"Today's Supreme Court decision means that more than 330,000 Haitians could now face return to a country where widespread violence, displacement, and nearly collapsed health services make daily life unsafe." - Tirana Hassan @doctorswithoutborders.org www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/after...

Some cautious good news: @doctorswithoutborders.org is resuming medical activities at its hospital in Cité Soleil in Port-au-Prince after a 3-week suspension due to armed clashes. Hoping for better days in Haiti. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/haiti...

As the Supreme Court takes up the case of Haitians with Temporary Protected Status, US policymakers must recognize how dangerous life has become in Haiti - @doctorswithoutborders.org www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/haiti...

Difficult and important to read @doctorswithoutborders.org

We strongly condemn airstrikes allegedly carried out by the Sudanese Armed Forces on March 31 in South Darfur, near the Teaching Hospital and within a densely populated civilian area. Following at least two strikes, the MSF-supported hospital received 5 wounded patients and the body of one person.

Worth reading in its entirety, including "What survivors demand." Sexual violence must not be ignored.

Bearing witness to rising sexual violence in Haiti: "Many of our patients talk about how they were aggressed in their own homes, because when armed groups come to new areas they want to control, they break into people's houses and they rape women"- Diana Manilla Arroyo @doctorswithoutborders.org

"We can see the fear in their eyes." @doctorswithoutborders.org colleagues are bearing witness to unconscionable violence and malnutrition in Sudan's North Darfur region, as people flee the embattled city of El Fasher. @wbur.org

"They are describing a real massacre." All the children are malnourished. We are seeing people that have been tortured, arriving to the hospital, people with fresh gunshots, cases of sexual violence
