Our paper is the result of a collaboration across 5 continents, providing pragmatic advice to improve safety when caring for patients with #COVID in settings with limited resources.
We include advice on PPE shortages, fake PPE and improving ventilation.

10 years ago today, an MSF hospital in Afghanistan was repeatedly bombed by a US gunship in an attack that killed 42, including 14 MSF staff.
As true today as it was then: HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL STAFF SHOULD NEVER BE A TARGET. @MSF
Israel’s murder of the AJ journalists last night is part of a pattern of eliminating witnesses to the genocide. Israel is killing Palestinian journalists in record numbers. International journalists are banned. Even volunteer healthcare workers are increasingly denied entry.
Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues played a key role in gathering evidence of Israel’s genocidal targeting of healthcare in Gaza.
We must honour their memory with action: Speak out, act, and use whatever influence you have to bring an end to the genocide.

An injured baby crying for her dead mother. The reality of Israel’s murderous war on Gaza.

The Israeli military’s violent attacks on the hospitals of north Gaza & the brutal raid now unfolding follows the same pattern as the atrocity crimes perpetrated against other Gaza hospitals. This intentional pattern of behaviour deprives all Gazans of their right to health.
“What we are asking is for people to get out into the streets and squares, to surround the embassies to stop the torrent of Palestinian blood.”
A desperate plea from the head of one of the last functioning hospitals in Rafah.
Forcing 1 million+ displaced Palestinians in Rafah to again evacuate would be unlawful & have catastrophic consequences, says @hrw. There's nowhere safe to go in Gaza. The ICJ has ordered Israel to prevent genocide. The int'l community should act to prevent further atrocities.
Teachers, university staff, students and journalists gathered in Oxford today to call for an immediate end to the killing in Gaza. @OxfordUCU unfurled a banner bearing the names of 97 Gazan academics and professors who have been killed.
Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed.
It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long.

Please read every single word of this message we received from a doctor in Al Aqsa hospital as the hospital came under direct attack. #doctor#ER#medicine#NotATarget#CeasefireNOW
"Hundreds of current in-patients. Thousands of IDPs in the buildings and courtyard. Many people too sick or frail to leave. NICU full of neonates. Post-operative patients. The elderly, disabled and war wounded. Where will they go? They can’t move."
A volunteer doctor working in one of Gaza's remaining functional hospitals describes no longer being able to reach the hospital as the area is closed in on by Israeli forces.

ONE HUNDRED AND TEN Palestinian healthcare workers are currently illegally detained by the Israeli military. We call for their immediate release. Please sign our petition: https://t.co/DVT63UwLgj Follow @HCWWatch for updates.

Healthcare workers describe being faced with hundreds of patients but lacking the medicines, equipment, and space to treat them and relieve their suffering.
