#BREAKING: The federal government has confirmed five Iranian football players will remain in Australia after seeking asylum.

"Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t..." - @POTUS

#DidYouKnow: MSF officially launched #medical activities in the Pacific island nation of #Kiribati last month?
Our team there supports the Ministry of Health and Medical Services to improve maternal and neonatal #health outcomes.
👋 Meet Clarisse Mawika
She helped launch community distribution posts for antiretroviral treatment for #HIV in the #DRC.
“When we launched the first 2 posts in Kinshasa, less than 20 patients got their treatment from it. Today, more than 10,000 go there to get their medicine.”
20yrs ago, @MSF teams in the #DRC opened the first treatment centre offering free care to people living with #HIV in Kinshasa.
Since then, great progress has been achieved. But major gaps remain, causing thousands of preventable deaths.
