#WorldHumanitarianDay is about remembrance. But increasingly, it is also a warning. Aid workers are being killed at record rates as the rules meant to protect them are eroded. The rules exist because we chose to write them. The world we want will exist only if we choose to defend them. @msf.ca

@msf.ca is calling for the immediate release of Palestinian healthcare workers who remain arbitrarily detained by #Israel.

⚽️ #Congo’s first-ever #WorldCup knockout run ended today. 🩺While we cheered, our @msf.ca teams were showing up in Ituri, Bunia & Goma, 2 months into responding to an #Ebola disease outbreak. The game is over. The outbreak isn't. Don't forget eastern Congo when the final whistle blows.

Of the patients admitted to @msf.ca our #Ebola treatment ctr in #DRC, 68% of confirmed cases admitted are women. But there is hope. And our teams are clear about what it takes. The women of DRC deserve more than to be a statistic. They deserve a response & a hope that is radical. #HopeisRadical

⚽️In #Gaza, an estimated 421 footballers have been killed since 2023. More than 1,000 #Palestinian athletes total. The people we treat @msf.ca aren't categories. They're not just patients. They're people who loved the same things we do--including the beautiful game. #FIFAWorldCup2026 #Canada

On April 2, a drone attack hit a hospital in #Sudan, killing 10 people, during a children’s vaccination campaign. In #Gaza, @msf.ca faces critical shortages of medicines, supplies, and equipment. Aid trucks remain blocked, and no supplies have entered since January. #Easter #GoodFriday #Passover

🤔 Is it just me, or are we all scrolling past stories of what’s being done to women & girls while perpetrators are known yet never held accountable? In #Darfur, 97% of survivors treated by @msf.ca describe perpetrators as armed men acting with complete impunity. More➡️https://tinyurl.com/k62e7dnc

#Canada’s international aid is not meant to act as a trade strategy. People deserve care because they are human. Not because they trade something, produce something, or benefit our markets. #RandeepSarai #IDW2026

#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.

@mark-carney.bsky.social is right: the old order isn’t coming back, and nostalgia isn’t a strategy. But one essential truth is missing from that conversation. In a fractured world, humanitarian action is not optional. @msf.ca #Gaza #Iran #Davos #WEF

Medevacs from space are now a reality. NASA just evacuated sick astronauts from orbit back to Earth. If we can organize a medical evacuation from outer space, #Israel can certainly organize safe, timely evacuations for critically ill @msf.ca patients in #Gaza.

#Israel has denied registration to international medical humanitarian aid organizations in #Gaza. This is not some administrative detail. It is a death sentence for civilians already being dehumanized in every possible way. @msf.ca

@msf.ca data shows diseases directly linked to these poor living conditions-- these account for 70% of outpatient consultations in our clinics. The only responsible course of action? It's not complicated. ⚡We need an immediate, massive scale-up of humanitarian aid & access. We need it NOW.

Imagine if all of us in #Toronto were crammed into an area 6x smaller than the city with no protection, sanitation or hospitals. Or if the entire pop of #Chicago were squeezed into 1/3rd the area of #Manhattan. Or if all ppl in #Brussels were jammed into a few neighborhoods, exposed to the elements.

⚠️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.
Bassel holds his children, nine-month-old Mohammed and 2.5-year-old Ibrahim, as his wife massages his amputated leg to relieve phantom limb pain. The family lives in a displacement tent in Mawasi, Khan Younis, after fleeing their home in Rafah. Bassel lost his leg after being shot months earlier while trying to access aid at a distribution point.

This is nowhere near enough, but it's a start. Reclaiming even fragments of humanity in a place where it’s been stripped away is what keeps us going. 📣 Because access to water, to care, to dignity--these should never depend on politics, nor on who the world decides is human enough to deserve them.

#Israel’s unabashed killing of an entire @aljazeera.com team in #Gaza is an assault on truth. Its continued targeting of aid workers is an attack on humanity. 📣 Murdering the messenger doesn't erase the truth. 📣 Killing aid workers won’t make the medical emergency go away.

What really is a "ground offensive?" For those in #Sudan, it’s not strategy. It’s suffering. It is: ❌ A young boy named Mahanat losing his hand & father when RSF attacked #Zamzam camp, a supposed safe haven for 500K people. ❌ For Sudanese fleeing to #Chad: It's scarce food, water & healthcare.
