CHWs are the unsung heroes of emergency response. They don’t just provide care—they strengthen community resilience when it matters most.

Check out this important piece from @HealthResponseA on why CHWs need more support in disaster planning.

I saw a list of recommended NGO's to donate to today and was disappointed to see @SamaritansPurse listed. They make their anti-LGBTQ bigotry a core part of their identity- making all staff and volunteers take a statement of faith that you can read here: https://t.co/ClUHebqeyY

Everything about their identity flies directly in the face of actual humanitarian work. Every humanitarian I know has a Samaritans Purse story of them pulling some shenanigans- especially outside the US where they can get away with more.

There's so many great organizations responding, even faith based ones- SP isn't one of them

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the devastating loss of our esteemed colleague, Mohammed Hamed Mansour Madi, whose life was tragically cut short yesterday when an airstrike hit his family home outside of Rafah killing him and seven of his relatives.

Mohammed worked as a nurse in our primary health clinic in Rafah, providing care to countless patients who had been displaced.

The only way to ensure the safety of our colleagues, health workers, and civilians is an immediate and permanent ceasefire NOW.

Deeply, deeply saddened. My thoughts with the @projecthopeorg team.

[Tom Cotter @TomCotterER]

The #Comstock Act from 1873 (!) forbids sending “obscene, lewd or lascivious,” “immoral,” or “indecent” publications in the mail. The fact that this is being used to limit telemedicine and reproductive health is absurd. #mifepristone

Racial/ethnic and sexual minority groups remain disproportionately affected by STIs. To reverse disparities, we must address social, cultural & economic conditions that make it more difficult for sexually active people to stay healthy. https://t.co/8JVcRbuAuz #STDreport #STIweek

@Travistritt I’m sorry that your trans fans, like me, make you feel ashamed. I’ll pray for you.

@googlemaps you could really help with the earthquake relief effort if you would work to continuously update maps to show closed/blocked streets so humanitarian aid and families can get through. Thanks for considering 🙏
