@adderation30mg @layzhis "I know if that smack was with intent it was deserved". Sounds like "I know if this man hit that woman, she must have deserved it". Perverted thinking.

@Bengals You know he's probably faking the injuries to avoid playing with this bunch of clowns on the defense, right?

[Francesco Segoni @Franc3scoSegoni]

@NickLachey Actually these players don't deserve more, they're eff-ing responsible for it. At least the 11 clowns (supposedly) playing defense.

The Taliban de facto administration has once again demonstrated its disregard for the fundamental needs of Afghan society.
A pressing question arises: how can the vast number of women suffering from physical and psychological issues in Afghanistan be saved from their current plight if they are denied the opportunity to acquire medical skills for treatment and care?

We treated 2 victims of sexual violence in Democratic Republic of Congo for every hour of 2023.

That’s over 25,000 people.

More details available in our new and alarming report “We are calling for help”.

En 2023, #MSF a soutenu la prise en charge de 25 166 victimes de violences sexuelles en #RDCongo, soit plus de 2 victimes par heure. Cette tendance s’est encore accélérée en 2024 : dans la seule province du Nord-Kivu, 17 363 victimes ont été soignées avec l’appui de MSF.

Many diseases & medical conditions such as #malnutrition are often identified late and patients are in a worse condition when admitted to hospital. In 2023, @MSF malnutrition projects in Herat, Helmand and Kandahar admitted over 10,400 children with severe acute malnutrition.

[MSF Afghanistan @MSF_Afghanistan]

After more than two decades of international aid and investment, Afghans continue to struggle to access basic and emergency medical care due to distance, cost and the fact that many health facilities do not function adequately.

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

We’re scaling up our efforts in Afghanistan to treat more patients with severe acute malnutrition and medical complications.

Many parents tell our staff that they’re struggling to feed their families because of a lack of money, rather than a lack of food.

@yuval_abraham As an aid worker whose colleagues are currently doing their best in Gaza, I salute you.

[Yuval Abraham יובל אברהם @yuval_abraham]

A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German politicians absurdly labeled my Berlinale award speech - where I called for equality between Israelis and Palestinians, a ceasefire and an end to apartheid - as ‘antisemitic’. The appalling misuse of this word by Germans, not only to silence Palestinian critics of Israel, but also to silence Israelis like me who support a ceasefire that will end the killing in Gaza and allow the release of the Israeli hostages - empties the word antisemitism of meaning and thus endangers Jews all over the world. As my grandmother was born in a concentration camp in Libya and most of my grandfather’s family was murdered by Germans in the holocaust, I find it particularly outraging that German politicians in 2024 have the audacity to weaponize this term against me in a way that endangered my family. But above all else, this behavior puts Palestinian co-director Basel Adra’s life in danger, who lives under a military occupation surrounded by violent settlements in Masafer Yatta. He is in far greater danger than I am. I’m happy our award winning film, No Other Land, is sparking an important international debate on this issue - and I hope that millions of people watch it when it comes out this year. Sparking a conversation is why we made it. You can have harsh criticism of what me and Basel said on stage without demonizing us. If this is what you’re doing with your guilt for the holocaust - I don’t want your guilt.

For 140 days, we have watched the systematic obliteration of a health system we have supported for decades.

Whilst Russia is holding a military parade celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany, its troops have committed war crimes in Ukraine.

The international community must step up to secure truth, justice and reparations for the victims of Russia's war of aggression.
