Deeply shocked and saddened by reports of an attack on a maternity supported by @MSF in #Kabul. Newborns, mothers and nurses among the casualties.
Civilians, healthcare workers & facilities are #NotATarget; they must be protected
In order to help limit the spread of #Covid19 among vulnerable detainees, our teams donated personal protective materials and hygiene items to detaining authorities in #Erbil.
Keeping physical distance can be hard, especially during #Ramadan. Yet, it is our best collective response to #COVID19. Together with Islamic scholars from Egypt, Iraq, Palestine & Yemen we talk about how to stay safe and healthy in this period https://t.co/Sw5cy0gGCA
Tala (10y) has leukemia and needs to take a long-course treatment of chemotherapy that is divided into several sessions. The little girl lives in Menbej city and the quarantine made it harder for her to travel to Aleppo to take the therapy,
Five influential Muslim scholars from #yemen#iraq#Egypt#Palestine share their guidance on key issues relating to #COVID19 Safe+ dignified burial, good hygiene, physical distancing and respect for healthworkers are critical in this time of crisis. شكرا جزيلا
The great work by the volunteers at the @iraqircs continues.. this time in #Kirkuk where maternity wards and hospitals are being disinfected. We must protect and respect all those working on the frontline of the #CoronaCrisis 🚑
#HappyEaster2020 and #Passover2020 to all those celebrating and for those preparing for the holy month of #Ramadan2020.
Let’s hope these are times for dialogue and for guns to fall silent so global energy can be dedicated to sustainable recovery from the #COVID19 pandemic.
