We are outraged after an Israeli drone strike almost hit 5 of our Palestinian and international staff on their way home from Nasser hospital in Khan Younis. As always, the Israeli authorities were notified about our movements and the vehicle was identifiable with an MSF logo.…

I had a little cry watching the news tonight. Thousands of people marching through their towns in solidarity all over the country against the people who would seek to divide us. As someone who arrived in the UK as a child refugee it means everything to see this allyship.

Kudos to these thoughtful, active medical (and legal!) women speaking about difficult advocacy and representation. Healthcare should not be a target. Not in #Gaza, not ever. Children should not be a target. Not in #Gaza, not ever. @drruthmitchell @Turtle1doc @KristinJBoyle

“I have never seen a mass casualty event like today [13 July] Every corner in the hospital was busy. Every space was occupied by the injured or bodies of the dead” says Dr Mohammed Abu Mughaiseeb, MSF deputy medical coordinator, working in Nasser hospital, Khan Younis, south Gaza

In Nov. 2023, intense shelling in #Gaza prevented thousands of Palestinians from safely leaving Al-Shifa Hospital. In April 2024, the MSF team restarted the clinic. The team never stopped treating patients during what they describe as the most difficult days of their lives.

We are outraged and strongly condemn the killing of our colleague, Fadi Al-Wadiya, in an attack this morning in Gaza City. The attack killed Fadi, along with 5 other people including 3 children, while he was cycling to work, near the MSF clinic where he was providing care.

I had some reticence initially, probably due to fatigue after a difficult year, but the passion and drive of the women with me and in this essential conversation have lifted me up and I’m now super excited for the sequel:) #Wanel2 #thisisourlane eventbrite.com/e/every-storm-…

Kudos @acemonline for this statement: Emergency doctors and nurses call for ceasefire acem.org.au/News/June-2024… @RACGPPresident @RACGP how do we add our voice? There are now members who are thinking of dropping their RACGP membership over the college's silence.
