Suicide is preventable. Every life is worth saving & can be saved if we change the narrative on suicide. Let us restrict access to the means of suicide; improve reporting by the media;
build life skills & resilience among adolescents; & identify, treat & follow up people @ risk

Together, we will help vulnerable patients access life-saving care when they need it most, and will help the hospital provide the care with the highest levels of quality. Health is hope. Partnership makes it possible.

Healthcare facilities, medical teams and patients must be protected. Healthcare should never be a target.
I am deeply concerned by the attacks affecting healthcare in southern Lebanon 🇱🇧 On 4 September, an attack on an Emergency Medical Service centre in Rmadiyeh, Tyre district, injured 6 paramedics, damaged the centre and destroyed 5 medical rescue vehicles, including 3 ambulances.

إن كل عامل في مجال الإغاثة يُقتَل يترك أسرتَه وأصدقاءه وزملاءه في العمل والمجتمعات المحلية في حالة من التأثر الشديد بفقده. وعندما يُهاجَم العاملون في مجال الإغاثة، يصبح من الصعب توفير الغذاء والأدوية وغيرها من المساعدات المنقذة للحياة لمن يحتاجون إليها. فالهجمات على العاملين في المجال الإنساني تقوّض المساعدات المنقذة للحياة، وتنتهك القانون الإنساني الدولي. والأولوية الآن هي العمل، ويتجلى ذلك في ضرورة احترام قواعد الحرب، وضمان وصول المساعدات إلى المحتاجين بأمان، ومساءلة المسؤولين عن الهجمات. وفي #اليوم_العالمي_للعمل_الإنساني، تدعو منظمة الصحة العالمية إلى حماية العاملين في مجال الإغاثة والعاملين الصحيين والسماح لهم بالوصول إلى المدنيين المحتاجين. حان وقت العمل من أجل الإنسانية.

Every aid worker who is killed leaves behind family, friends, coworkers, and communities who are deeply affected by their loss. When aid workers are attacked, it becomes harder to provide food, medicine, and other life-saving help to people who need it. Attacks on humanitarian personnel undermine life-saving assistance and violate international humanitarian law. The priority now is action: respecting the rules of war, ensuring aid can safely reach people in need and holding those responsible for attacks to account. On #WorldHumanitarianDay, WHO calls for the protection of aid workers and health workers and allowing them to reach the civilians who depend on them. Time to #ActForHumanity.

The Eastern Mediterranean accounts for less than 10% of the global population, but nearly half of the world’s humanitarian burden. This means one in every two people affected by humanitarian crises is in this Region. More than half of the US$1.12 billion @WHO requires for emergency operations globally in 2026 is needed in the Eastern Mediterranean. Yet 40% of this funding is still missing. For millions, this isn’t a budget gap; it’s a matter of life and death. For too many people, we are already too late. Read my full statement: emro.who.int/media/news/stat…
