Emergency Comms for @MSF, via Sudan, Turkiye, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone & South Sudan

Engine oil is essential to keep generators and vehicles running. Without it, hospitals, water systems and transport come to a halt, putting lives at risk.

🚨 In Gaza, engine oil supplies are rapidly depleting as Israeli authorities restrict its entry. In the coming weeks, some of our projects are expected to run out. When that happens, critical medical services will be disrupted.

We urgently call on the Israeli authorities to allow the immediate entry of sufficient essential supplies, including engine oil. Lives depend on it.

Nyala Teaching Hospital was badly damaged in the war but MSF colleagues carried out major reconstruction work since returning to Nyala in January 2024.

The pictures speak for themselves, before & after.

I wish rebuilding Sudan’s health system could be as straightforward

The Jebel Mara area of Sudan is beautiful, isolated and desperately short of services. It needs a scale-up from local and international organisations alike, for which facilitation is needed from all the authorities of Sudan as well as support from the international donors.

“Israeli authorities know that without water life ends, yet they have deliberately and systematically obliterated water infrastructure in Gaza…”

Our latest report documents how the Israeli authorities have used access to water as a weapon in Gaza: https://t.co/mOq9VrkfUE

“Government and opposition forces must take full responsibility for their actions.”

We’ve been forced to close our hospital in Lankien, South Sudan, after it was bombed in February, depriving 250,000 people of lifesaving care.

We've been forced to permanently close our hospital in Lankien, South Sudan, after it was bombarded on 3 February. 

The closure comes after 31 years, serving around 250,000 people who relied on the hospital for lifesaving care.

Otash is one of the camps on the outskirts of Nyala, home to tens of thousands of displaced people. Our work in Otash together with the Sudanese Family Planning Association, focuses on women, girls and children as those that have borne the brunt of this war.

Israeli authorities have used access to water as a weapon against Palestinians, systematically depriving people in Gaza of water in a campaign of collective punishment.

Our latest report has the details: https://t.co/mOq9VrkfUE

🔴 In Gaza, classrooms are not safe, and access to care remains critically limited.

On 9 April, nine-year-old Ritaj was shot, reportedly by Israeli forces, while sitting at her desk inside a classroom in Jabalia, North Gaza. 

Her classmates ran in fear. Her school, already damaged by war, had been turned into a temporary learning space for hundreds of children.

Ayman Rehab, a schoolteacher, describes the difficult drive to our clinic, during which Ritaj tragically died.

Kass hospital in South Darfur, where MSF works in partnership with the Ministry of Health, provides a lifeline for women, children and families in the surrounding areas. This includes displaced communities who have fled to the relative safety of Kass from all parts of Darfur.

[Vickie Hawkins @VickieHawkins]

Nyala Teaching Hospital is one of the only functioning referral centres in all of South Darfur. I was taken on a tour by the hospital directors who gave me several hours of their precious time showing every corner.

[Vickie Hawkins @VickieHawkins]

I'm in South Darfur, 3 years today since the war broke out.

3 years that have led to untold suffering and created the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. @MSF_Sudan #letstalkaboutsudan

🚨 BREAKING: Sudan - Since Sunday evening, our teams in Darfur have treated 56 wounded people and recorded two deaths, following five drone attacks carried out by the Sudanese Armed Forces.

As Sudan enters its fourth year of war, these attacks by the SAF demonstrate a complete disregard for civilian life. Nowhere is safe.

Both warring parties are attacking and killing civilians. This must stop now; this level of violence and suffering cannot continue.

The humanitarian crisis in Sudan is one of the largest in the world, and for the past three years, people have been enduring extreme violence that has devastated every aspect of their lives. We call on the warring parties in Sudan to protect civilians.

[MSF Afghanistan @MSF_Afghanistan]

In 2025, at least 10% of malnourished children treated at @MSF's inpatient therapeutic feeding centre in Kandahar, Afghanistan, also had #tuberculosis. But this figure may not reflect reality, as diagnosis can be challenging. Watch the video to learn more.

[MSF Sudan @MSF_Sudan]

7,200 households in Feina, South Darfur, received hygiene & safe water storage kits from MSF team. In this remote camp, displaced families live in dire conditions with little access to clean water, sanitation & healthcare, raising the risk of outbreaks.

[MSF International @MSF]

We haven't been able to bring any supplies into Gaza, Palestine, since 1 January 2026, because Israeli authorities are blocking aid.

Read from our medical adviser in Gaza about how this is affecting operations in our hospitals and clinics:

MSF strongly condemns the airstrikes allegedly carried out by Sudanese Armed Forces on 31 March in Nyala, South Darfur, in close proximity to the Teaching Hospital and within a densely populated civilian area.

🇸🇩 MSF reports 3,300 sexual violence victims treated in Darfur in under two years

Médecins Sans Frontières said Tuesday it treated 3,396 survivors of sexual violence at facilities in Sudan’s North and South Darfur states between January 2024 and November 2025, identifying Rapid Support Forces fighters and allied militias as the primary responsible party for the widespread and systemic abuse.

Women and girls accounted for 97% of victims, and one in five survivors in South Darfur were under 18, including 41 children under the age of five.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Sobering report from @MSF on the epidemic of sexual violence in Darfur, Sudan.

Survivors left without protection, justice, support.

Perpetrators acting without fear of consequences.

This is a moral failure.
