In Gaza, children have endured things no child should ever have to experience.

Fighting in southern #Yemen is forcing families to leave their homes & increasing the need for medical care. MSF is working with local health authorities to keep healthcare services running & respond to growing medical needs.
Here are five things to know: tinyurl.com/2mke6hv3
(1/2) Over three years of war have severely damaged Gaza's health system.
Repeated attacks, displacement, shortages and damage to essential infrastructure have made it increasingly difficult for people to access healthcare and for medical teams to provide it.

In Salamat, #Chad, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provides support for the treatment of the most severe acute #malnutrition cases through hospital-based, outpatient and community-based activities: tinyurl.com/3juhuwca
As Israel confines Palestinians to increasingly limited areas in #Gaza, families are being pushed into overcrowded and unlivable conditions, without sufficient access to clean water, sanitation, shelter or healthcare: tinyurl.com/45u6pmat

Calling this a ceasefire does not change the reality on the ground. tinyurl.com/6mbkrupm
#ThisIsGenocideNotACeasefire
This is the reality in #Gaza despite the so-called #ceasefire: the space where people can live is shrinking, while access to essential supplies, healthcare and vital infrastructure continues to deteriorate: tinyurl.com/45u6pmat
North Kivu, DRC, is facing a surge in Ebola cases, but the capacity to respond is still far from enough. New hotspots are emerging every week, while treatment capacity remains limited. This puts patients and communities at greater risk: tinyurl.com/52t46aa3
Think Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is only for doctors? Think again. You don’t have to wear a stethoscope to play a vital role in delivering medical care.
