[ON AIR] Doctors Without Borders (@MSF) says it is concerned about the continuity of care for thousands of migrants in South Africa who are living with chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and mental health disorders after fleeing their homes due to fears for their safety and threats to their livelihoods.

The humanitarian organisation says the priority is to ensure that those most at risk continue to access essential healthcare services, regardless of who they are or where they come from.

For more on this, @Lulu_Gaboo is joined on the line by Claire Waterhouse, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) Emergency Coordinator.

Emergency response ➡️ Health system reconstruction ➡️ Handover

We launched activities in Palma, Mozambique, in 2021, after a deadly attack made care unavailable. Five years later, health centres have re-opened and we've now concluded our operations.

After 12 weeks, MSF concluded its emergency response in Eráti district, northern #Mozambique, following the country’s largest displacement wave of 2025. While urgent health needs were addressed, critical gaps in access to healthcare remain.

Conflict, displacement and climate shocks deepened the humanitarian crisis in #Mozambique throughout 2025.

Despite the challenges, our teams remained on the ground, providing essential medical care to those who needed it most.

Here's what we accomplished in Mozambique in 2025.

After 12 weeks, MSF concluded its emergency response in #Mozambique, following the country’s largest displacement wave of 2025. While urgent health needs were addressed, critical gaps in access to healthcare remain, especially in remote areas.

Moçambique enfrenta uma epidemia de cólera que afeta várias províncias, incluindo Nampula.

Desde setembro de 2025, foram notificados mais de 3200 casos de cólera e 38 mortes na província, tornando-a uma das zonas mais afetadas. 🧵

In 2021, we began a response in Mueda district, Mozambique, to bring healthcare to displaced and host communities following a flare-up of violent conflict.

We’ve now finished our work in Mueda as the local health system has resumed functioning ⬇️

[1/6] Yesterday, Israel’s ambassador to the UN referred to @FranceskAlbs as a ‘witch’ in response to her latest report on #Gaza #Palestine. It is an accusation that says more about the accuser than the accused. A 🧵…

Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has scaled up activities in Mueda town and district following yet another wave of displacement after repeated violent incursions of a non-state armed group in Mocímboa da Praia and other areas of northern Mozambique.

[MSF International @MSF]

We temporarily suspended our medical activities in Mocímboa da Praia, northern Mozambique, after a recent wave of violent attacks.

🔴Civilians, medical facilities and humanitarian workers must be protected.🔴

In Chiure, northern #Mozambique, MSF teams have concluded an emergency response after 50,000 people were displaced by violent attacks in late July. Many have returned home, but uncertainty and needs remain, as the crisis in Cabo Delgado continues.

[MSF International @MSF]

Each day, our 1,118 colleagues working in Gaza face the devastating reality that they cannot stop a genocide.

But world leaders can, if they choose to act.

glad that part of my conversation with @FloMiettaux & @maizvikomaka on the potential of #AnticipatoryAction in #SouthSudan was captured in a recent article on @LeMonde_Afrique about the current (and recurrent) flood emergency.

.@lemonde_Afrique reports on recurring floods in South Sudan and WHH's approach of anticipatory humanitarian action. The aim is to reduce the damage caused by natural disasters before they even occur, as @mntsfo of @WHH_SouthSudan explains.

Today on World Humanitarian Day, Welthungerhilfe (WHH) staff around the world stands in solidarity to spotlight the horrifying toll of armed conflicts on their colleagues & on all civilians, particularly children. Pictures show staff in Germany, Türkiye, NW Syria. #ActForHumanity

[sofia m. @mntsfo]

as in other cases, figures for #Gaza are distressing.
let’s also consider what numbers cannot fully capture: cases of harassment, high level of stress, fear stemming from intimidation or hate crimes.
attacks against aid workers, facilities and supplies are unacceptable

Often #SouthSudan makes headlines for the humanitarian challenges it faces.

But today the national basketball team from the world’s youngest country plays in the #Olympics for the first time.

It's just one example of how the #SudanCrisis impacts #refugee, returnee and host communities in #SouthSudan.

We reaffirm our commitment to supporting the country on its journey toward #resilience, stability, and prosperity 🇸🇸✨

what you see in maps is not what you get in reality:
“There are no features suggesting pre-colonial occupation of the area. Two sacred rocks, Pita and Kaku, are not present on the map. These are not simply blank spaces. They’re deliberate omissions.”

#SouthSudan #SSOX #Juba

[Juba In The Making @jubainthemaking]

What do colonial maps tell us of how Juba was established? What do these maps show, and what do they hide? Closely studying them, Dr Brendan Tuttle reflects on Juba's creation by colonial authorities in the 1st half of the 20th century. #Juba #SouthSudan
