The key to ending the #Ebola outbreak in the #DRC area:

Government leadership;

Community ownership;

Strong partnership between the many actors involved, working with one budget, one plan and one report;

And building trust in the affected communities.

🚨 Ebola in DRC

Dr Tathy Modjaka Nzoko explains the care we're providing around the clock at our rehabilitated Ebola treatment centre in Goma, in North Kivu province, which was opened last week.

“On 26 May, all patients received following drone strikes were civilians.”

Our teams supporting Tiné hospital in Chad are seeing a growing number of injured civilians following drone strikes across the border in Tina, Sudan.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

A virus carries no passport and can’t be deterred by weapons. Yet we spend trillions on arms while underfunding the health systems that protect us all.

Health security IS security.

The world needs better global leadership.

In Darfur, Sudan, sexual violence follows women and girls wherever they go — in overcrowded shelters, on farmland, and at faraway water points.

In our new report, we call on all parties to cease and prevent sexual violence and hold perpetrators accountable, and on the international community to scale up health and protection services. ⬇️

Once again, in #Sudan, healthcare has been struck at its heart. On 2 April, a drone attack reportedly carried out by the Rapid Support Forces targeted Al‑Jabalain Hospital in White Nile. There were two strikes, one hit the operating theatre and the other one the maternity ward.

People in Sri Lanka are still living with the impacts of Cyclone Ditwah. Our response is bringing support to displaced families through:

🗣️ Mental health activities
🧼 Clean water and sanitation services
📦 Essential items distribution

[United Nations @UN]

The UN is the only place where all nations can come together to tackle shared problems & find solutions for the benefit of all humanity.

Amid today’s profound challenges, the UN continues working to advance peace, dignity & equality on a healthy planet.

Two billion people face financial hardship paying for healthcare, often instead of food, education or housing.

Universal Health Coverage is integral to our right to health.

@volker_turk calls for investment in health systems that deliver for all.

غزة: يشكّل تهديد إسرائيل بسحب تسجيل منظمة #أطباء_بلا_حدود وغيرها من المنظمات الدولية غير الحكومية محاولةً مغرِضة ومحسوبة لمنع هذه المنظمات من تقديم خدماتها في #غزة والضفة الغربية، فلسطين، في انتهاك لالتزامات إسرائيل بموجب القانون الدولي الإنساني.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

The year 2025 ended both with a broad expression of solidarity of people across the world with #Palestine Refugees, and with further steps taken by the Israeli Authorities setting a dangerous precedent.

The UN members states can push back on attempts to undermine international law.

International human rights law and international humanitarian law must be protected.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is highly effective.
The vaccine protects against the high-risk HPV types 16 and 18, which cause most cervical cancers and have been shown to be safe and effective in preventing HPV infection and #CervicalCancer.

[United Nations @UN]

“We have the power to transform lives and end AIDS once and for all.”

— On Monday’s #WorldAIDSDay, @antonioguterres calls for investing in prevention and expanding access to treatment to #endAIDS as a public health threat by 2030.

A cholera outbreak has been ongoing in South Sudan for a year. Why hasn’t the outbreak been contained? Especially since, “we know how to prevent cholera”.

Ilse De Boer tackles this question, sharing her experience leading our emergency response: https://t.co/vbQgwtVzMo

[MSF Sudan @MSF_Sudan]

We are horrified by the reports of the RSF attack on Saudi Hospital in El Fasher, North Darfur, and the detention of Ministry of Health staff. Saudi Hospital was the last surgical facility still functioning amid shortages and destruction during the siege. @MSF had to withdraw in August 2024 after repeated attacks.

In #Sudan, since the war began, over 150 attacks on healthcare have been recorded by @WHO

THIS MUST STOP NOW. Civilians, humanitarians and health workers must be spared.

#KeepEyesOnSudan

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

#Afghanistan is suffering the most extreme assault on gender equality of our time, warns @SR_Afghanistan Richard Bennett.

“Turning away now would not only betray the Afghan people; it would undermine the foundations of our shared international system."

[MSF Sudan @MSF_Sudan]

Dengue is surging in #Khartoum State. Abandoned homes, blocked drains & disrupted water supply fuel mosquito breeding. Limited diagnostics & overstretched hospitals hamper response.

@MSF urges health actors to step up vector control & urgently open treatment centres.

[Christos Christou @DrChristou]

Depriving people of water is not just a violation of international humanitarian law. It is a tool of genocide.

In Gaza, Israeli authorities are blocking vital water treatment supplies, leaving families without life’s most basic need: https://t.co/YqiSn7aLxo
