Central America's caravan of mothers: Personal grief and political grievance.

Migrant disappearances in Mexico have quadrupled. This is about how mothers searching for their children manoeuvre grief and engage in political actions across borders.

The longer version of the video of Egyptian podcaster Rahma Zein confronting CNN reporter Clarissa Ward at the Rafah crossing. It's raw, sincere, and powerful. Much respect for Rahma, she expressed our collective pain at the Western media's dehumanization of the Palestinians.

Nothing justifies this shocking attack on a hospital and its many patients and health workers, as well as the people who sought shelter there. Hospitals are not a target. This bloodshed must stop. Enough is enough.

[MSF International @MSF]

We are horrified by the recent Israeli bombing of Ahli Arab Hospital in #Gaza City, which was treating patients and hosting displaced Gazans. Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed. This is a massacre. It is absolutely unacceptable...

It's so awful to watch this knowing that hundreds of people on that boat might be alive today if Frontex & Greece had used all possible means to rescue them

Short story: V1 of Bill C-41 would have crippled #humanitarian action from #Canada. V2 just passed into law upholds the right and freedom of humanitarian orgs to act immediately wherever we are needed. BIG WIN today. @MSF . Full story 👇🏼

A message by Executive Director @joe_belliveau about the large milestone of the passing of #BillC41 through senate.

"It upholds the principle that humanitarianism can never be considered a crime."

Thank you to our followers for sharing our advocacy on this issue. #Cdnpoli

Today is one month that a preventable fire at the @INAMI_mx detention center in #Juarez led to the death of 40 migrant men--many of them indigenous youth.
Media attention has now vanished. However, people are still camping outside of the facility demanding answers and justice.

[Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières @MSF_canada]

Our Executive Director @joe_belliveau visited #Ottawa yesterday.

He explained to the Canadian Parliament why a #humanitarian exemption to Bill C-41 is not a want but a need.

Juárez fire and St Lawrence drownings are tragedies, not accidents. They are predictable outcomes of anti-#Immigration policies, incl '#SafeThirdCountry' Agreements. The latest is the closure of #Canada's Roxham Rd.

The recent St Lawrence drownings and the Juarez fire are tragedies but not accidents. They're predictable outcomes of restrictive #migration policies, like the closure of #Roxham rd. More... 👇

Borders kill.

All love and rage to the families of the migrants killed & injured in the migrant containment center in Ciudad Juarez (part of the US's border outsourcing policies, with full complicity of Mexican govt)

Ya tiene la 4T su tragedia tipo guardería ABC. Negligencia de seres humanos a tu cargo quemados. Lo ocurrido en Ciudad Juárez es inaceptable. Hacinados dejaron a los #migrantes morir encerrados, 39 muertos y 29 heridos, algunos graves

The death toll continues to climb in Turkey and northern Syria following two devastating earthquakes. Executive director of @MSF_canada, @joe_belliveau joins @CandaceGlobal to discuss the humanitarian aid efforts in the aftermath.
