I am deeply concerned about the escalating gang violence in Port au Prince and its impact on health.
@MSF is a key partner in #Haiti and the recent closure of its five health facilities will have a major impact.
Other than injuries from the ongoing violence and infectious disease outbreaks, Haiti is facing one of the world’s worst food crises, with half the population facing hunger.
Since March 2024, access to healthcare has been extremely limited across the country, with less than 1/3 of hospitals operating normally.
We must ensure the safety of health and humanitarian workers, so that they can help the people of Haiti in their hour of need.
The ICC have officially issued their arrest warrants for Israeli war criminals. If Starmer and Lammy continue arming and providing reconnaissance missions for Israel they are accessories to war crimes and therefore war criminals too
Children in Gaza are not starving, they are being starved.
Everyone is clear that aid is being blocked and hindered by Israel, and that the UK is facilitating not opposing its staunch ally.
Thousands of people are trapped in Jabalia camp, north Gaza, as Israeli forces attack the area.
“Nobody is allowed to get in or out, anyone who tries is getting shot,” says Sarah Vuylsteke, MSF project coordinator. Five of our staff are trapped in the camp, fearing for their lives.
“We were staying at the Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital, but they bombed it. About 20 people were killed. I don’t know what to do, at any moment we could die. People are starving. I am afraid to stay, and I am also afraid to leave,” says Haydar, MSF driver trapped in Jabalia camp.
Israeli forces issued evacuation orders on 7 October in Jabalia camp while carrying out attacks at the same time, preventing people from leaving the area safely. Forced evacuations of homes and bombing of neighbourhoods by the Israeli forces is turning north Gaza into uninhabitable ruins.
We call on the Israeli forces to halt forced displacements and to stop the all-out war on people in Gaza. Israeli forces must also ensure the protection of civilians and hospitals and allow desperately needed humanitarian supplies to enter the north as a matter of extreme urgency.
