#COVID19 cases are on the rise in many parts of the world.
Make sure you’re fully protected. #VaccinesWork to keep you safe. Check your vaccination status and consult your local health worker.

The reports of ongoing hostilities and heavy bombardment in #Gaza are petrifying.
Yesterday our team visited Nassar Medical Hospital in the south. It was packed with 1,000 patients — 3 times over its capacity. Countless people were seeking shelter, filling every corner of the facility.
Patients were receiving care on the floor, screaming in pain.
These conditions are beyond inadequate - unimaginable for the provision of health care.
I cannot find words strong enough to express our concern over what we’re witnessing.
Ceasefire. NOW.

Violence and harassment against women and girls is unacceptable.
