🚨 Across southern Lebanon, the fear of being targeted is forcing rescue and medical teams to delay or limit their lifesaving response. We call for an immediate end to the continuous attacks on medical and rescue personnel, facilities and offices. f.mtr.cool/tojvhnmkmd

When people don’t have enough water, they are exposed to malnutrition and water-borne diseases. That’s what we’re seeing in Somalia and Ethiopia’s Somali Region, where millions of people are affected by drought: msf.org/drought-and-di…

On 12 May, an Israeli drone strike hit three paramedics as they were attempting to assist an injured person who survived a previous attack. The strike killed two of them on the spot. Medical and rescue personnel in Lebanon need protection now. f.mtr.cool/bhrgyyzpae

👋 Meet Antoinette Ndayumvire, a nurse aide who works with us in Nduta camp, Tanzania.   A refugee from Burundi herself, Antoinette tells us why she finds joy in her work, whether it be in the maternity or paediatrics ward.

Dr Javid, @MSF_IP, visited Zalingei Teaching hospital in Central Darfur, Sudan, earlier this month. The hospital had been bombed and looted and he was proud to see the work that our teams had achieved in restoring healthcare to people – something that should never have been lost.

In Somalia and Ethiopia, a drought is impacting millions of people. We're seeing alarming numbers of malnutrition. Read about how we're responding to people's needs through water trucking and supporting water and sanitation activities ⬇️ msf.org/drought-and-di…

🔴 Daily attacks continue across Gaza, Palestine. Yesterday in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, an Israeli forces’ tank fired two shells near Al-Tayeb clinic, injuring at least 12 people while our medical teams were operating nearby. The impact occurred around 400 metres from the clinic.  Our teams treated all casualties from the attack, including a 6-year-old child with a severe leg injury and a pregnant woman with a chest injury. After receiving first aid and emergency treatment, all injured patients were transferred to Al-Shifa hospital for further medical care. Since the so-called ceasefire began, Israel has killed more than 800 people and injured more than 2,000. This latest incident striking close to a medical facility shows that nowhere is safe in Gaza. We call for Israel to respect the ceasefire and to ensure the protection of civilians.
