🔴 Violence should never be normalised. Since last year, attacks on healthcare in South Sudan have been increasing. Attacks on our facilities have cut off an estimated 760,000 people from vital healthcare. Laura Leyser, our Secretary General, stresses the grave effects of this violence:

Before this Ebola treatment centre in Ituri, DRC, got its own laboratory, it could take up to a week to get positive and negative test results for Ebola disease.  Now, results come in under 24 hours. Learn about the difference this is making for patients and medical staff 👇

The Ebola disease outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo is spreading at an alarming rate, and the fight against it is also taking place within communities. Sylvie Chuve tells us about her work to raise awareness and encourage people to seek care ⬇️

Our teams in Beni, Democratic Republic of Congo, provide care to people with suspected or confirmed cases of Ebola disease, and to people who still need healthcare for non-Ebola issues. 🎥 Mechack Mumbere describes the care he received at our healthcare centre after being suspected of having Ebola.

An annual course of HIV treatment used to cost over US$10,000. We campaigned with HIV activists and communities to bring that price down. Today, treatment costs under $100. Now, with the HIV prevention drug lenacapavir, we’re at one of those moments again. Two shots. $40. Everywhere:

“There is hope of recovery if you seek care early.”  🎥 Florence Kalite is a midwife in Mongbwalu, in Ituri, Democratic Republic of Congo, where the Ebola outbreak was declared in May. She explains how she fell ill but was then able to make a full recovery.

“Our medical team keeps saying, ‘it’s not a ceasefire at all. It’s not even close to being a ceasefire’. We need to advocate... for a true ceasefire in Gaza.” 🔊 Dr Randa Masoud, our medical coordinator in Gaza, describes the current levels of violence and the impact on people and healthcare.

“When I left the hospital, I regained hope.” For four years in Mombasa, Kenya, we helped provide young people with a holistic approach to care, from sexual and reproductive health care to mental health services and more.  💬 Hear from the community members that received this care:

🚨 Anti-migrant protests in South Africa have sparked violence, intimidation, and harassment, forcing people to flee the country. Pictured below: people at the South Africa–Zimbabwe border queue for buses to neighbouring countries.

In North Kivu, DRC, beneath the surface of a normal life, people speak of collective fear, arrests, looted villages, neighbours who've been killed, widespread sexual violence, and fields no-one dares cultivate. 🎥 Watch our documentary, North Kivu: Beneath the surface https://msf.me/beneath-surface

🩻 In Central African Republic, artificial intelligence helps us detect tuberculosis more quickly, which means patients can start treatment faster:

We continue to support survivors of the earthquakes in Venezuela. Last week, we provided: 🏥 1,095 medical consultations 👥 229 psycho-education sessions 🗯️ 39 group and 19 individual mental health sessions

📸 Nigeria: One of our colleagues carries a box of diphtheria vaccines with a Ministry of Health staff member. These vaccines were being distributed across Kano state, as part of a mass vaccination campaign in June.

In south Lebanon, people continue to struggle with fear, loss, and uncertainty from months of war: 🗣️ "I was deeply saddened by the scenes I witnessed." 🗣️ "I hope everyone returns to their homes, livelihoods, and land..."

“We arrived on the 5th. On the 6th, she died.”   In DRC, Florence Baginyo, who survived Ebola, describes how her sister fell ill and died from the disease, and her own illness and survival. Her story is a sign of hope amid what remains an urgent public health threat.

“A newborn baby needs safe milk, safe food, a safe home, and clean air to breathe... None of this exists today.” Three years of destruction and displacement in Gaza has left people without proper access to water, sanitation and hygiene, resulting in children getting sick with preventable diseases.

🎥 “No outbreak can be controlled without the trust and participation of the affected people.” That’s why our response to the Ebola disease outbreak in DRC goes beyond medical care. Esperanza Santos,  an emergency coordinator, explains how we’re engaging with communities:

On 30 June, we treated six wounded people at our emergency department in Khan Younis, Gaza, following an Israeli airstrike. Two children were among the patients received by our teams. Another child was killed in the same attack.

Community health workers are playing a critical role in the Ebola disease outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo, helping people understand the disease. Augustin Kpagbo Ngodonza tells us about his work in Mongbwalu, a hotspot of the outbreak 👇

Seeking safety is not a crime.

We have donated trauma kits to a hospital in La Guaira. Over the next 24-48 hours, we expect to continue donating trauma kits to hospitals while we refine a more comprehensive response and coordinate with partners.

Complex trauma wounds need specialised care, including rehabilitation. Our colleagues in Gaza are adapting their physical therapy work because of supply restrictions. Mohammed Alyazji tells us about the alternative materials being used to meet patients’ needs ⬇️

Since our founding in 1971, we’ve grown to a global movement delivering emergency medical care in over 70 countries. Thanks to our 7 million individual donors, we provide care where it’s needed.

✅ We held a training on play therapy in Kule refugee camp in Ethiopia. Through this course, counsellors, nurses, and other healthcare staff gained practical skills to use play therapy alongside medical treatment. Play therapy supports children's emotional well-being, development, and recovery.

What is an effective method for reducing the spread of malaria? Denis tells us about ‘indoor residual spraying’ ⬇️

People in South Sudan have been facing horrific levels of violence. In 2025, we treated an average of 16 people per day for violence‑related injuries. This cannot be the new normal for South Sudan.

👋 Meet Antoinette Ndayumvire, a nurse aide who works with us in Nduta camp, Tanzania.   A refugee from Burundi herself, Antoinette tells us why she finds joy in her work, whether it be in the maternity or paediatrics ward.

DRC: Since filming this video, the number of patients in the Ebola treatment centre in Elykia hospital in Bunia has increased significantly, reaching nearly 60 on 8 June, including 29 with a confirmed Ebola diagnosis.

At Mudug Regional hospital in Somalia, we've upgraded the solar power system. In just over 3 months this has avoided 30,000+ litres of diesel. Patients are also experiencing: ☀️ A steadier power supply  ☀️ Cleaner air in the hospital compound  ☀️ Quieter wards due to a lack of generator noise
