One month after devastating earthquakes struck #Venezuela, thousands are still living with the aftermath of the disaster. In La Guaira and Caracas, our teams are providing medical care, mental health support and clean water. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/venezuela-on...
#Gaza: Doctors Without Borders staff have not been spared from the violence. Our colleagues have been shot in their tents, lost family members and fled their homes. This is not a ceasefire.
#Mauritania: We are deeply alarmed by a deadly incident on the Atlantic migration route, following the disembarkation in Nouadhibou of survivors from a boat that reportedly departed from The Gambia towards the Canary Islands.
#Ebola: “There are people that survive and that’s the reason we do everything we do,” shares John Johnson, our Vaccination and Epidemics Response Advisor. Our teams continue to support survivors after recovery, providing follow-up care and psychosocial support.
Since 2023, 1,109 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the #WestBank and East Jerusalem. Photographer Maen Hammad visited our clinic in Nablus, documenting how movement restrictions and violence shape life for Palestinians. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-pa...
The current #Ebola outbreak is the third-largest and fastest growing on record. “More people become infected, more families lose loved ones and the response becomes harder to contain.” - Trish Newport, Emergency Program Manager. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/democratic-r...
#Gaza: As this violence from Israeli forces continues, death and injury can strike at any moment. Children who are trying to survive in already dire conditions are being critically injured on a regular basis. There is no respite from the fear that people are living with.
#TalkAboutSudan: Um Rakuba refugee camp in #Sudan has gone from having 35to fewer than 10 organizations’ support. Around 17,000 Ethiopian refugees rely on the camp’s services as funding cuts leave growing needs unmet. Watch Dr. Tanya Hajj Hassan, our Pediatrician, update:
#Venezuela #earthquake: Our mobile clinic teams are providing care in affected areas like Playa Verde and La Guaira state. We’re primarily treating diarrhea, respiratory illnesses and skin conditions, while supporting access to safe water and sanitation.
What keeps your hope alive? For Khassan, Naomie and Mercedes, it lives in the people they care for and the colleagues who work alongside them. Their stories remind us that hope isn’t the absence of fear. It’s the relentless grit to keep going anyway. hopeisradical.ca
What does a journey through medical evacuation look like for people in #Gaza? Patients who survive severe injuries and receive care abroad are returning to a health system devastated by years of war. Watch the story of Eman, Abdelhadi and Bashir: https://youtu.be/gQUIZd72mv4
What helps stop an #Ebola outbreak? Community. When communities know the symptoms, know how to prevent infection and know where to seek care, cases can be detected earlier and transmission can be reduced. Esperanza Santos, Emergency Coordinator, explains:
Daily activities like farming, herding livestock and playing outside should not put lives at risk. But in Deir ez-Zor, #Syria, people continue to be injured and killed by explosive ordnance left from years of conflict: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/syria-explos...
Severe malnutrition is on the rise among children in southern #Afghanistan, and an alarming number have already been admitted so far this year. We’re worried that rising needs will continue to outpace the response. Ana Lilia Banda, our Medical Coordinator, reports:
Emergency services are still searching for dead and wounded people. Across Ukraine, healthcare workers and facilities remain unprotected and overwhelmed. We condemn the attacks that put civilians and medical care at risk. Read our statement: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/ukraine-an-a...
On July 2, a Russian attack struck an ambulance station and a residential area in Kyiv, #Ukraine, killing 20 people and injuring 86, including three paramedics and three driver-technicians. People who were sleeping at night got trapped under the rubble.
Three Doctors Without Borders staff were killed five years ago in Tigray, #Ethiopia. We still have no answers. We remember María, Tedros and Yohannes, and we continue to demand justice for them and protection for humanitarian workers everywhere. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/deafening-si...
#Gaza: On June 30, MSF teams at our emergency department in Khan Younis, treated six people wounded following an Israeli airstrike. Our teams stabilized the patients before referring those requiring further treatment to Nasser hospital.
🌈 Did you see MSF team members from our Canadian office at the Toronto #Pride parade on Sunday? We stand in solidarity with 2SLGBTQI+ communities around the world—supporting dignity, safety and access to care during #PrideMonth and every day of the year.
For many LGBTQI+ people, sex workers and other marginalized communities, discrimination can make accessing healthcare difficult—or impossible. Our clinic in San Pedro Sula provides a space where people can access care without fear of discrimination. Watch a patient’s story:
MSF intends to progressively engage in medical humanitarian support at the rapidly growing number of informal displacement sites throughout the Caracas metropolitan area, where thousands of people remain without shelter following extensive structural damage. #Venezuela #earthquake
Today marks round two of the #WorldCup! ⚽️ Check out our starting line up! They have over 50 years of experience. 🏆 #Fifa #FifaWorldCup #FifaWorldCup2026 #soccer
Over 100,000 people have returned to Akobo, #SouthSudan. The health system has collapsed and all 15 surrounding health facilities are looted. MSF is providing medical care with limited resources. Jacob Granger, our Emergency Project Coordinator, updates:
On the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, we highlight a stark reality: care often comes too late for survivors. In 2025, nearly half of our patients in #Mexico sought care four to 12 months after the violence. Violeta Chapela, Project Medical Referent, updates:
#Venezuela: Two earthquakes recently struck near Caracas, leaving more than 30 people dead and over 700 injured, according to local authorities. Our teams are assessing the situation to determine how we can support. We will donate emergency trauma kits to hospitals in Caracas.
Last night, an earthquake struck #Venezuela with a magnitude of 7.2 and a second quake of 7.5 magnitude struck right after. There are over 30 confirmed dead and over 700 injured. MSF teams are assessing the situation. We will donate emergency trauma kits to hospitals in Caracas.
#WorldRefugeeDay: Since the 2017 displacement of #Rohingya refugees into #Bangladesh, over one million people are still living in camps in Cox’s Bazar. Our teams have supported Rohingya people for decades but healthcare alone cannot resolve a protracted crisis.
#Haiti: MSF has been forced to suspend medical activities at the Isaïe Jeanty maternity hospital due to escalating violence from armed groups. Medical care must never be caught in the crossfire. Read our response: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/haiti-msf-fo...
