Three years into the genocide in Gaza, and one year after a so-called ceasefire was announced, the humanitarian crisis continues. Our new report documents what the genocide and the Israeli army's blockade are doing to Palestinians' health. Read it here: tinyurl.com/y3zh3k96

GP practices are cutting ties with the NHS Federated Data Platform built by Palantir, the US firm arming ICE with patient health data. Sharing patient data with immigration enforcement keeps sick people from doctors. Palantir poisons the whole system. Good on them for drawing the line.

This weekend, masked men in black swarmed roads in Dover and Portsmouth. We condemn this racist intimidation, unreservedly. We know people across the UK are frustrated and disillusioned with the current system. But this is never the answer.

The UK must act for Sudan. Last year El Fasher fell to Sudan's RSF. The United Nations confirmed it was genocide. Now another city, El Obeid, faces the same threat. The UK has the power to act, and isn't. Add your name to demand action 🔗 tinyurl.com/ntzcj9ph

This #WorldHumanitarianDay, aid work has never been more dangerous. There have been 945 attacks on healthcare this year alone. These attacks must stop. And stop going unpunished. International humanitarian law must be respected. Governments must protect humanitarian workers.

We needed you and you didn't let us down. Since the Colombia earthquake hit, you've helped us raise over £2800. That's medical teams reaching Chocó, Nariño, Cauca and Antioquia when people needed them most. The need is still huge. Please keep giving if you can. Donate: tinyurl.com/2yhu6hsv

This is the worst most of us will face this summer 👇 Climate breakdown is destroying 9 of the top 10 countries people flee to reach safety in the UK. But it's not grounds for asylum. Our care is unconditional because healthcare is a human right ➡️ shorturl.at/NXp1B

🔴 Mass asylum camps are a healthcare violation. For a year we ran a clinic at Wethersfield ex-military site, treating men seeking safety. 68% were survivors of violence. 62% had severe mental distress. 30% suicidal. The Home Office MUST #CloseTheCamps & scrap ALL plans to open more.

From today, 1 in 4 hospital referrals will be diverted under new government rules. These changes to GP contracts risk turning access to hospital care into a lottery, denying millions care and putting patient safety at risk if decisions are swayed by pressure to meet targets ➡️ tinyurl.com/bda6bwp4

This is what unity looks like. We joined half a million people at the @togetheralliance.bsky.social march this Saturday, standing together against the far-right. When far-right ideology blocks our patients from accessing healthcare, we march for a system that cares for everyone.

This Saturday, we’re marching for unity with the #Together Alliance. Far-right hate is pushing people away from healthcare. Many avoid care or are excluded due to fear & hostile policies. The far right thrives on division. A healthy society thrives on unity. March with us ➡️ togetheralliance.org.uk

During the pandemic, the Government put its anti-migrant agenda ahead of people’s lives. Hostile immigration enforcement stopped many migrants from safely accessing healthcare - leading to preventable infections and deaths. The government's cruel choices put everyone’s health at risk.

We took the French government to court - and WE WON. But the work isn’t over. The court ruled that living conditions in Dunkirk camps are illegal and inhumane, ordering urgent action. But basic healthcare is still missing. We have appealed to push for its inclusion. @humansforrights.bsky.social

Before, during, and after a crisis - we are there. When systems fail and people are left without healthcare - in conflict zones, asylum camps, after climate disasters, or on migration routes - we step in. For 45 years, we have stood with people in need, and we'll never turn away.

Any money spent on taxis is a result of a Home Office decision, not the choices of people seeking safety. Moving people to remote camps will only make it harder for them to access healthcare. Here are the real solutions ⬇️ #CommunitiesNotCamps

There have NEVER been ‘unrestricted’ taxis for asylum seekers. Travel to medical appointments has ALWAYS required Home Office approval. Many of the people we support miss urgent care because they can't get there. UK Gov must stop scapegoating people for its poor management ➡️ tinyurl.com/fzsk3aen

One year since the #Valencia floods. Last October, a year’s worth of rain fell in just 8 hours, destroying homes and claiming over 200 lives. Many families are still rebuilding - and we are there with them, providing mental health support and helping strengthen health systems.

With anti-migrant protests and racist intimidation rife, refugees need more support than ever - not to be forced to live on the streets. Homelessness harms both mental and physical health. The government must reverse this decision and give people the time they need to rebuild their lives safely.
