Hi Bluesky community! We're excited to be here to share important humanitarian stories.

Would you let your network know where to find us? This is just a snapshot of what we stand for as an emergency medical organization:
Text reads: Stand with refugees and people forced from home. Stand with people demanding access to safe abortion care. Stand with people whose health is impacted by climate change. Stand with people facing health inequities due to racism and discrimination. Stand with vulnerable people everywhere.

Narin visited Sudan twice: first to West Darfur, where she supported the launch of a project on malnutrition and child health in Fora Baranga, and later to Port Sudan and Khartoum, where she witnessed both the challenges of access and the efforts of MSF teams on the ground.

We are calling for an immediate ceasefire and a surge of lifesaving humanitarian aid. All remaining hostages taken in Israel must be allowed to return home, and Palestinians held in arbitrary detention must be released.

More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed. Nearly 2 million have been forcibly displaced.

We are confronting a grim reality: Doctors can’t stop genocide. World leaders can.

Over the past two years, Israeli forces have systematically destroyed the conditions necessary for life in the Strip—attacking hospitals; striking camps for displaced people; destroying vital civilian infrastructure; and choking off access to food, water, medicines, and other basic needs.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants launched a horrific attack inside Israel, leaving 1,200 people dead and taking 251 people hostage.

We are spotlighting the voices of over 1 million Rohingya refugees living in the camps of Cox’s Bazar district in Bangladesh.

Inside the camps, life is precarious. Families face barriers to health care and essential services, while insecurity and dwindling aid make the future even more uncertain.🧵

5/ A maternity hospital should be a place of hope and new beginnings—but in Gaza they are overshadowed by stress and uncertainty. Even in the midst of an offensive, hospitals should be protected. We call for an immediate halt to the violence and concrete measures to protect civilians.
