Gaza: Life in a death trap. msf.org/msf-report-exp… By @MSF

A new @haaretzcom article covers our report on the silencing and persecution of Palestinian healthcare workers in Israel since Oct. 7 🔗 haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

Israel's mass slaughter in Gaza, enabled by the US, was a moral outrage. And now, as the @nytimes reports, Israel is applying the Gaza model in Lebanon -- and once again we Americans are enabling this moral catastrophe. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

"Hezbollah has paid a heavy price for going to war with Israel on March 2: Israel has occupied a chunk of southern Lebanon, displaced hundreds of thousands of its Shi'ite Muslim constituents and killed as many as several thousand of its fighters, ​according to previously unreported casualty estimates from within the group." Amazing details in this story by colleagues @GebeilyM @BassamLail and Tom Perry reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

Israel is transferring its Gaza tactics to southern Lebanon, flattening entire villages using the pretext of fighting Hamas/Hezbollah. Targeting civilian infrastructure or destroying it without a valid military justification is a war crime. trib.al/DpX5z6z

Mifepristone is a safe, essential medicine that so many women depend on in some of the hardest moments of their lives. When access to this care is taken away, the need doesn’t vanish. It just becomes harder to meet—and far more dangerous. Last year, while visiting Louisiana to understand how the shifting landscape is affecting our communities, I heard heartbreaking stories from mothers denied treatment during grave crises in their pregnancies and doctors forced to delay care when every minute counts. Friday’s ruling is a blow to families across the country, who suffer when women are stripped of the ability to make decisions about their own health and futures. Everyone deserves health care that’s guided by science, not politics. apnews.com/article/aborti…

Bombing, massacres, terror, and continued displacement. This is what a supposed ceasefire looks like in Lebanon I have been watching the news closely these past few weeks, taking in what is happening while listening more carefully to my loved ones. In the first days, I heard from them small, humble moments of relief in being back in our south, set against a constant fear and readiness for the enemy’s cruelty at any moment, because it has not stopped. Our people are mourning those they have lost, and the parts of life that have been destroyed, while still having to live through it. What was meant to be a brief respite never came. Instead, the politicians who claim to represent Lebanon shuffle their cards and negotiate with our people’s killers, deciding who they don’t mind abandoning to this death machine. What people hoped would be a short return, to see what was left of their homes, to bury their loved ones, and to gather necessities, has turned into a trap for more bloodshed and slaughter under the guise of some twisted arrangement. And while it is not surprising it is exhausting.

We've been forced to permanently close our hospital in Lankien, South Sudan, after it was bombarded on 3 February.  The closure comes after 31 years, serving around 250,000 people who relied on the hospital for lifesaving care. msf.org/msf-forced-clo…

Terrible news from South Sudan. @MSF is forced to close Lankien Hospital in Jonglei. 250,000 people are left without lifesaving care. This is part of a dangerous pattern of attacks on healthcare.

Les Pays-Bas brûlent. Et pour la première fois de leur histoire, ils ont décroché le téléphone européen. Cette semaine, plusieurs incendies majeurs ravagent le territoire néerlandais : environ 500 hectares partis en fumée. Les sapeurs-pompiers néerlandais sont à bout : "à la limite de leurs capacités"... Alors ils ont activé le Mécanisme européen de protection civile. Pour la première fois. En 24h, l'Europe a répondu : 🇩🇪 21 camions + 67 pompiers allemands 🇫🇷 Du matériel et le 1er Régiment d'Instruction et d'Intervention de la Sécurité Civile mobilisé 🇧🇪 3 camions belges déjà au feu Quand on dit que l'Europe protège, voilà à quoi ça ressemble. J'ai bien sûr une pensée pour les pompiers néerlandais engagés depuis plusieurs jours sans relâche, qui tiennent face aux flammes. Pour leurs collègues allemands, belges, français, européen partis en renfort, qui ont laissé leur famille pour rejoindre des camarades qu'ils ne connaissent pas. C'est ça, l'Europe.

Israel has forcibly displaced nearly one-fifth of Lebanon's population -- one million people. x.com/AJEnglish/stat…

La guerre au Moyen-Orient désorganise l’aide mondiale aux réfugiés: l’insécurité autour du détroit d’Ormuz, ont perturbé le trafic maritime. La hausse des coûts du carburant fait ainsi grimper les prix et retarde la livraison de l’aide. @Le_HCR news.un.org/fr/story/2026/…

Rats and parasites are spreading through Gaza's tent camps for displaced Palestinians, biting children's fingers and toes as they sleep, gnawing through people's few remaining treasured possessions and spreading disease reut.rs/4eRh1JI

An Israeli rights organization petitioned Israel's Supreme Court to demand the immediate release of 14 Palestinian doctors from Gaza who have been held without charge for more than a year reut.rs/4d0d9Uc

Proche-Orient : le #Golan syrien, autre front de la colonisation israélienne. Un plan israélien visant à accroître le peuplement de ce territoire occupé y engendre le risque de nouveaux crimes de guerre, alerte HRW. rfi.fr/fr/moyen-orien… via @RFI @abenares

"I kissed the door frame before I left and said a prayer for the house’s protection; I asked it to stay, to wait for our return. And then I superstitiously regretted it."

“States who committed to protecting medical care back in 2016 must stop hiding behind excuses and finger-pointing, and act.” - @MSF_IP  10 years ago, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2286. Following through must be lead by action, not just words: msf.org/attacks-health…

Israel quietly issued new maps that show its forces now control nearly two-thirds of Gaza, with a new orange line extending beyond the area agreed to in the October ceasefire reut.rs/4cWaYBb

According to media reports, Israel intercepted an aid flotilla bound for Gaza near Greece and detained 175 activists. Israel’s interception of yet another aid flotilla is not security. It’s the detention of people trying to relieve the extreme suffering caused by Israel’s unlawful blockade of Gaza. apnews.com/article/gaza-i…
