Use the ‘F’ word early and frequently - because famine is not an event but a process. We cannot let govts hide or stop information collection to stop declaration of famine - absent evidence does not mean that famine is absent #MSFSci
Depressing that 40 years ago we faced #Famine in #Ethiopia - and now seeing similar situations in multiple locations globally. Are indicators helping to trigger a decision or hide behind technocratic details? Are populations in systemic precarity due to these scales? #MSFSci

#MSFsci #NTDs #HAT better treatment options
Great to see #NTDs in humanitarian settings showcased at #MSFSci with @DNDi ‘s trial on #HAT rhodiense trypsnosomiasis Important partnership with @Epicentre_MSF to conduct these trials with the scientific rigour to really impact treatment guidance

⚠️ 93% of #COVID19 vaccine doses have been administered in just 10 countries, including the UK, whilst less than 2% have been administered in Africa. This is not equity. 📝 Read MSF´s open letter to the UK Prime Minister bit.ly/2Rt4KCy
Replying to @mehdirhasan
We need both immediate action & longer-term solutions. We need the US to donate surplus doses to COVAX now, we need tech transfer for vaccine manufacturing scale-up AND for countries like the US to stop blocking this IP waiver at the WTO. Historic times call for bold action!

You know how Delhi's Hospitals are surviving? They have to raise alarm for oxygen, get oxygen which lasts only till 3-4 hrs & again raise alarm. This cycle continues. Can you imagine the toll it takes on hospital staff & patients who have to keep begging for oxygen every 3-4 hrs?

Children are the most vulnerable in these testing times of #COVID19 as they remain dependent on others for care & protection. Here are some Do’s & Don’ts you must follow if you come across children in distress. Together we must #ProtectAGeneration from the perils of the pandemic.

They UNDERESTIMATED COVID at every step: It’s just a flu Will stay in China Mortality is too low Hospitals are empty Our immunity is strong We’ve reached herd immunity COVID exploded. Now they say: It’s not our fault Remember: The underestimators were WRONG at every step

Haven't had a day like yesterday - trying to get dad a bed/oxygen/tests, etc taught me so much about the situation that just volunteering/amplifying didn't There are certain lessons and tricks to this tragedy. Sharing a thread - in case it helps someone running around for help!
