Father, husband, doctor, humanitarian worker. Work @RedCrossCanada as Sr. Director - Health in Emergencies. Tweets my own, RTs not always endorsements.
Behind every blanket given, every meal delivered, and every life saved, there’s a @redcrosscanada volunteer making it happen. This #RedCrossMonth, we celebrate the people who step up in times of crisis—here in Canada and around the world. To our heroes in red vests: Thank you.
Grateful to meet the Canadian Minister of Development and the accompanying delegation during his visit to @DXBHumanitarian at the @ifrc Dubai Hub, where pre-positioned relief supplies from @Canada & @redcrosscanada are ready for immediate dispatch to disaster response operations, including Lebanon. This ensures a timely response to the urgent needs of those affected by the crises.
We thank the people of Canada for their generous support and contributions to our humanitarian mission.

Our @ifrc assessment team is on the ground in #Aleppo and #Latakia with @SYRedCrescent colleagues to assess the immediate and longer-term healthcare & other needs.
A crisis on top of a crisis.
A long war, a devastating earthquake.
I visited Aleppo, Syria and directly saw the humanitarian action of the @SYRedCrescent.
@IFRC will continue to support, for as long as it is needed.
