These rooms should be filled with newborn cries, the beeping of monitors, pregnant women being cared for, patients finding relief amid a genocide.

Instead, these rooms now stand empty because MSF was forced to evacuate our last functioning health facility in Gaza city.

We urge world leaders gathering at the UN General Assembly to end the genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza.

Our staff in Gaza are doing all they can to save lives while weapons of war continue to maim and kill Palestinians. Doctors can’t stop this genocide. World leaders can.

On Saturday, MSF Canada formed a Human Chain Gallery on Parliament for #Gaza, holding powerful images and urging our government to take action.

Canada doesn’t need to be a global superpower to help stop genocide. It just needs the courage to lead.

This is what violations of International Humanitarian Law in #Gaza look like.

In #Ottawa on Sept. 20? Visit MSF’s Human Chain Gallery for Gaza: An Art Action Against Genocide in front of Parliament Hill.

We’ll hold up photos from Gaza and call for #Canada to stop the genocide.

We are horrified and saddened by the death of our colleague Hussein Alnajjar who died yesterday in #Gaza.

His death was due to shrapnel injuries caused by an Israeli airstrike near his tent five days earlier.

1 million people currently live in #Gaza City including these doctors and patients from our clinic. They hear the Israeli bombing intensify day and night and face an impossible choice: stay and risk their lives or leave their homes.

On Sept. 10, a SAF drone strike landed four kilometres from the MSF-supported hospital in Central Darfur, #Sudan.

These attacks show why we must protect International Humanitarian Law.

Without urgent, radical intervention, #Gaza faces total annihilation.

We call for an immediate end to evacuation orders used as a tool of forcible displacement, a lasting ceasefire and the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid at scale.

Well, it finally happened. I’ve officially begun college.

Been 6 years since I’ve graduated High School. In that time I’ve done a lot of reflecting, the world kinda went to hell, but ultimately I think I needed this time to rest and prepare for this new chapter.

Here’s quote for this new era.

We are heartbroken by the death of Mariam Abu Dagga, a freelance photographer who frequently worked with Doctors Without Borders in #Gaza.

Mariam was one of at least 20 people killed during Israel’s horrendous attacks on the Nasser medical complex on August 25, 2025.
