🚨 New from Physicians for Human Rights: On the Brink of Catastrophe: U.S. Foreign Aid Disruption to HIV Services in Tanzania and Uganda Our latest research brief reveals how abrupt U.S. cuts to PEPFAR have severely disrupted many HIV services in Tanzania and Uganda.
I spoke with @CBCNews about the 'double-tap' Israeli attack on Nasser hospital in #Gaza today. Such attacks, along with restrictions on healthcare supplies and now on foreign healthcare workers, are a clear violation of the laws of war and demand justice. cbc.ca/player/play/vi…
NEW: We filed a brief challenging the Trump Administration’s unlawful withdrawal of life-saving USAID foreign assistance, which has had devastating impacts and imperiled the lives of millions of people who are suddenly at risk of preventable illness and death. 🧵
ICYMI: Last week, the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit allowed the continuation of Trump's global health funding cuts – leaving millions of lives at risk of preventable death and suffering. media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/docs/…
🚨Israel must immediately lift its restrictions on food to #Gaza & ensure the delivery of medical supplies and other aid necessary to address mass starvation. ➡️NEW statement from PHR & Global Human Rights Clinic at the University of Chicago Law School: phr.org/news/millions-…
"Hundreds of health workers across Tigray have documented mass rape, sexual slavery, forced pregnancy & sexual torture of women/children by Ethiopian + Eritrean soldiers, in systematic attacks that amount to crimes against humanity, new report has found." theguardian.com/global-develop…
Combatants in Ethiopia have perpetrated widespread, systematic, deliberate acts of conflict-related reproductive violence, according to a new report based on 515 medical records + 657 health workers’ testimonies published today by @P4HR & @O_JAH_ Release: phr.org/news/brutal-re…
📢 Major new report on sexual and reproductive violence #CRSV in #Ethiopia from Physicians for Human Rights @P4HR and the Organization for Justice and Accountability in the Horn of Africa @O_JAH_ phr.org/our-work/resou…
After 4 months of a near-total Israeli siege, Gaza’s hospitals now have wards for the malnourished children whose tiny bodies are just the width of their bones. Aid groups had warned of this for more than a year. Now a worst case scenario is upon us. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
U.S. aid cuts are leading to medicine shortages, clinics shuttered, and preventable deaths in DRC, Kenya, and Ethiopia, per new Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) research. The Trump administration gutting global health programs makes all of us less safe.

As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality. A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.

The recissions package – clawing back $9 billion in congressionally approved spending, including $8 billion for foreign aid – will have immediate, profound, and devastating consequences on global health. New statement: phr.org/news/u-s-recis…
"It’s easy to feel all hope is lost. But I believe that focusing on what can be salvaged is a powerful antidote to despair. PEPFAR is still partly functioning. It can be strengthened to save millions of lives." Powerful & urgent @_emilybass_ essay: nytimes.com/2025/07/14/opi…
“Treatable injuries transformed into terminal harm.” -PHR executive director @SZarifi in @HuffPost. “Volunteer medical professionals face systematic Israeli policies and practices that directly prevent them from caring for the wounded and sick in Gaza.” huffpost.com/entry/israel-w…
"There has never been a more urgent moment in recent US history for health professionals to meet their obligations of public advocacy.”
🚨 New Publication Out Now: “We Could Have Saved So Many More”: Anguish and Death Caused by Israel’s Restrictions on Medical Supplies in #Gaza 🚨 phr.org/our-work/resou…
STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost *14M* lives thru 2030. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
Children clung to life in Sudan by the slenderest of threads, supported by community soup kitchens. Then the USAID funding cuts came, and their mothers watched them starve to death one by one. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/…
"There can be no durable peace without meaningful justice. But the agreement... sidelines human rights and fails survivors," PHR's @SZarifi tells @BBCNews on the new U.S.-brokered deal between DRC and Rwanda. bbc.com/news/articles/…
🌎How much damage has been caused by Trump’s cuts to U.S. aid? The consequences have already been dire – but the worst is yet to come, says Salim S. Abdool Karim, MD, PhD, FRS, a widely recognized infectious diseases epidemiologist & director of @CAPRISAOfficial in South Africa
