Viruses don’t respect borders.

Yet today's estimates say much of the world won’t get access to COVID-19 vaccines until at least 2023.

The longer it takes to vaccinate people across the globe, the greater the risk to all of us as new variants continue to spread.

Our message is simple.

Let’s treat migrants and asylum seekers like human beings first. It’s time to #endMPP now.

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

The so-called Migrant Protection Protocols offer no protection at all. @avrilbenoit explains why.

Launching TOMORROW: Our report – “No Way Out” – reveals the devastating impacts of harsh US-Mexico migration policies on the lives of Central Americans forced to flee.

Shamseyeh's daughter is only 6 & suffers from autism and mental health issues. For more than 3 months now she lives in #Moria, in a tiny space with almost no electricity & no heating. In the local hospital there no specialized doctor to see her & the Greek government ignores her.

Thousands of people continue to flee violence and poverty in Central America. Once in Mexico, they are exposed to yet more violence. Mexico’s repressive deterrence policy condemns them to greater suffering. #FronteraSur https://t.co/CytT1rSg9g

[Médicos Sin Fronteras México @MSF_Mexico]

Lejos de una migración segura para estas personas, la política fronteriza represiva del gobierno mexicano las condena a un mayor sufrimiento.

[ForcedFromHome @ForcedFromHome]

Over 24h, our teams in Tenosique, Mexico assisted 11 young migrants from Honduras, kidnapped as they fled the National Guard. They were subjected to beatings, threats, torture, sexual assault, & extortion by criminal gangs operating with impunity in Tabasco state.

A year after Forced From Home:

"For me, it’s important that people learn from this exhibition the lack of choice that people have when they are forced from home." -Francesco Di Donna, MSF medical coordinator https://t.co/1HhWubNyF4

#GivingTuesday can also be about lending your voice and speaking out for vulnerable people who need protection and care.

Seeking safety is not a crime.

[ForcedFromHome @ForcedFromHome]

@MSF_USA US State Dept issued a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” warning for Tamaulipas - same level it gives countries at war like Syria and Afghanistan.

Migrants and asylum seekers sent to these places have been victims of kidnapping, torture, and extortion.

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

Targeted.
Kidnapped.
Exposed to violence and harsh living conditions.
This is what awaits vulnerable asylum seekers with the Remain in Mexico policy.

"What we are witnessing, what we are treating, is a consequence of that violence." https://t.co/62M6JLV6Kh

[MSF Sea @MSF_Sea]

Being forced from home, having to take dangerous routes, being pushed back, detained, or held in limbo can have a dramatic impact on mental health. This world #mentalhealthday we honor all @MSF #migrant and #refugee patients around the world - their strength and resilience.

This week on our doctorswithoutborders @instagram, our 📷photographer #takeover series talks about the power of images and documenting humanitarian crises.

Today's feature: @jbmoorephoto with @GettyImagesNews

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

People in NW #Syria live in constant fear of airstrikes. One MSF-supported hospital was damaged by bombing, while other facilities had to limit their services multiple times for fear of being hit, further reducing health access for people in the region. https://t.co/pTtWBJ3LMt

New US asylum ban further endangers vulnerable people seeking safety and security.

These efforts to dismantle the international asylum system put lives at risk.
