📅On #International Day of the #Midwife 🎊, we celebrate women who provide care from the very heart of life itself, standing beside mothers 👩‍👧‍👦 in some of the most sensitive and human moments. Wishing all midwives, a happy day every year 🌸🌼.

After providing care to families in Darat Izza, northwest Syria, for more than three years, we’ve concluded our support to the town’s healthcare centre: msf.org/syria-msf-conc…

“Today, neither civilians nor medical facilities are protected” in Lebanon.  🎥 Listen as Emmanuel Massart, Emergency Medical Coordinator in Lebanon, explains how there are no longer any spaces that can be truly considered safe, as Israeli strikes continue.

After a 7-year process, volunteers and humanitarian aid workers who had been put on trial in Greece after rescuing people at sea in Lesvos have been cleared of all charges. This is a crucial victory against the criminalisation of solidarity and a reminder that aid is not a crime.

Caroline Willemen (@azgbelgie) is net terug uit Gaza. Terwijl andere conflicten de aandacht opeisen, eist de winterkou daar levens. Fase 2 van het staakt-het-vuren is aangekondigd, maar de toekomst blijft onzeker. De bevolking heeft nog steeds hulp nodig. #vrtnws #deafspraak

"This is about the manipulation and the instrumentalization of humanitarian assistance." As Israel orders @MSF to stop operating in Gaza, its head @Chris_lockyear tells me they're seeing "a propaganda campaign against humanitarian organizations... putting our staff and our activities in acute danger."

Since our founding in 1971, we’ve grown to a global movement delivering emergency medical care in over 70 countries. Thanks to our 7 million individual donors, we provide care where it’s needed.

This is winter in Gaza. People are facing torrential rain and heavy winds while living in makeshift shelters. All the while Israel continues to block or delay the entry of vital supplies like tents, tarpaulins, and temporary housing. Our medical teams are treating respiratory infections, wound complications, skin diseases, and babies suffering from severe cold – linked to these harsh living conditions. Now, on top of that, Israel is taking steps to stop us and other NGOs from working in Gaza entirely. This is a cynical attempt to prevent organisations from providing services in Palestine and is in breach of Israel's obligations under international humanitarian law.

Face à la discrimination & la stigmatisation des personnes vivants avec VIH, MSF pilote depuis 2019 à Kinshasa le modèle différencié de soins "les clubs des jeunes", un espace permettant aux jeunes séropositifs de surmonter leurs difficultés➡️t.ly/_JlIB #WorldAIDSDay

We are deeply disappointed that Dr Mohammed Obeid, a respected surgeon, and long-time colleague, remains detained in Israel and was not released as part of the recent Gaza ceasefire agreement. We call for his immediate and unconditional release. msf.org/msf-calls-imme…

What is it like to be a surgeon near the frontline — working through constant shelling and power outages? Watch our video⬇️ In Kherson city, Ukraine, our MSF medical team supports a hospital where colleagues even spend nights in the basement to stay safe.

#Gaza: de invoer van voedsel is beperkt tot het absolute minimum om te overleven, de distributie ervan wordt gedicteerd en gemilitariseerd, en het grootste deel van de lokale voedselproductiecapaciteit is vernietigd. prez.ly/I5qd
