#Access is what allows #journalists to bear witness. It allows aid workers to deliver care. When both journalists & aid orgs lose access— you should be deeply, deeply concerned.

Last night, government forces bombarded an @msf.ca hospital in South Sudan. This is part of an alarming and dangerous pattern:
🚨 Attacks on healthcare are becoming normalized in conflict zones.
Pay attention. Demand accountability. #NotATarget

Palestinians in #Gaza already face a brutal winter, destroyed homes & barely functioning healthcare. If @msf.ca is expelled, the impact will be devastating.
We remain committed to dialogue with #Israel.
We remain focused on returning attention to where it belongs: the catastrophic needs in #Gaza.

“Let’s not call it deregistration, let’s call it a death sentence — that is exactly what it would be for the Palestinian people,” says @sana.msf.ca, MSF Executive Director, as Israel moves to bar nearly 40 aid groups under new registration rules.

WATCH: MSF Executive Director @sana.msf.ca speaks to CTV about vital humanitarian activities in #Palestine at risk from Israeli registration rules.
MSF provides a vast amount of life-saving healthcare, yet even this is not enough to meet the overwhelming needs of people in #Gaza.

"If this feels heavy, it does for me too. It means we’re refusing to stop being human and refusing to be indifferent. These are just three of the stories that have stayed with me this year," shares Sana Bég.

Canada lost its #measles elimination status today.
Here's something @jwnickerson.bsky.social and I wrote a while back in @theconversation.com for @msf.ca:
"Measles is a humanitarian issue, and its unwelcome reappearance in Canada is a reminder of its importance"

Measles is a humanitarian issue, and its unwelcome reappearance in Canada is a reminder of its importance
Any upsurge in measles is of real concern, but in settings aggravated by poor living conditions and malnutrition, it can be disastrous. It can affect adults, but young children are at particular risk.

⚠️The start of a #ceasefire (already violated) is not the end to accountability or outrage. Here's what I find absolutely abhorrent as I sift through our @msf.ca data: Over 2 million Palestinians being forced into 13% of #Gaza- a patch of land so small that the scale of suffering is catastrophic.

#GAZA: We've been living now through years of brazen undermining of agreed upon global norms and conventions such as international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions. Should it come as any surprise that the definition of a ceasefire has become meaningless as well?

#Gaza: Doctors without Borders is deeply disappointed that Dr Mohammed Obeid, a respected orthopaedic surgeon, and long-time MSF colleague, remains detained and was not released as part of the recent #ceasefire agreement. We call for his immediate and unconditional release.

📣 Humanitarian aid is a moral duty, not a political weapon. Although some aid has entered #Gaza, #Israel still restricts access, delays shipments +bans critical items. This blocks @msf.ca from operating with the urgency needed. Aid needs to flow freely, safely, at scale, NOW across #Gaza.
