Our mental health teams have been addressing the psychological toll of war & displacement on children’s emotional wellbeing in Gaza.
For a little insight into their mental health, we share a drawing from a 13-year-old child, explained by Audrey Mc Mahon, MSF child psychiatrist.
❗️ The humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo is catastrophic:
🔴 7 million people have been displaced by violence
🔴 Epidemics of cholera and measles
🔴 Malnourished children
🔴 Sexual violence
The crisis demands an urgent international response👇
Christophe Garnier, our project coordinator in southern Gaza, is one of the MSF team who entered #Gaza 6 days ago to help provide medical care to people. He sent us this voice note yesterday, the day after an Israeli airstrike hit an area near the hospital the team is supporting.
Countries in West Africa are currently struggling with outbreaks of potentially deadly – yet vaccine-preventable – disease diphtheria. Communities are vulnerable due to a lack of vaccination programmes. We're urging @WHO, @UNICEF@gavi to urgently provide support and vaccines.
🔴BREAKING:
Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients.
We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza.
We are trying to protect our staff and patients.
“Israel’s 24-hour notice that people in Northern Gaza must leave their land, homes and hospitals is outrageous – this represents an attack on medical care and on humanity.
We have consistently seen dehumanising language and this violence is a manifestation of that.
Our colleague Michael has been arbitrarily detained by China for 500 days.
Each passing day is a stain on China’s reputation, an injustice to Michael and an act of cruelty to his family and loved ones.

My colleague @hansdemarie and I were in Central African Republic last November. Find out how .@CrisisGroup does its research in the field, and what people in Bangui and Bria have to say...
📷 A February 2019 agreement is the latest in a string of attempts to bring peace to the Central African Republic (CAR).
But will it hold?
Our expert @hansdemarie went with photographer @ju_ddl to find out. [Thread]

🎥 #Niger’s informal mechanisms to limit trafficking-related bloodshed are under strain, in part due to pressure from Europe to curb migration.
Hannah Armstrong (@cheikhazoubir) explains that reinforcing these systems is the best way to minimise the risk of violence.
China has arbitrarily detained our colleague Michael Kovrig since 10 December 2018.
He has not been allowed to see a lawyer or his family.
His inhumane detention sends a chilling message to all those who wish to engage Beijing.
We call for his immediate release.
The piece was inspired by the excellent piece by @MariaFantappie of @CrisisGroup on #Iraq's new Generation of civil activists
