In Greece, we meet people who have survived journeys that no one should ever be forced to take.
When people who have fled extreme violence and persecution reach Europe they expect safety. Instead, they are “treated as suspects”. @chrislockyear.msf.org, describes the situation from Lesbos 👇
“Are we seeing a bonfire of international law?” — the question at the heart of this Inside Geneva special.
Aid bans, shifting US priorities, and real-world consequences in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine and beyond.

Current events are making it challenging to track MPs and reputable organisations that are permanently migrating to Bluesky. If folks see examples that we need to assess for verification - do let me know. Will limit it largely to politicians, govt orgs and large orgs at the moment for this pass.
@camanpour.bsky.social asked @chrislockyear.msf.org what will happen to people in Gaza if NGOs aren't there to provide care, given that Israel is taking steps to stop our work.
His answer: That’s essentially our question too.
What we do know is that people need more services, not less.

"It’s natural to feel uncertain and helpless. But it’s important to remind ourselves that just because of what is going on in the world, it doesn’t mean that solidarity and compassion and care have diminished."

In Ukraine, @chrislockyear.msf.org recently saw first-hand the impact the ongoing war is having on both people's mental health and on medical facilities. He explains more 👇🎥
In Ukraine, many people, often elderly, people live on the frontline, forced to choose between daily terror or fleeing into the unknown.
I spoke with @cnn.com about the work of Ukrainian organisations and
@msf.org, as winter deepens and humanitarian needs grow:

"So many were killed–yet on her release, my mother said ‘shalom’ to her captors"
"a simple, human gesture in the midst of unimaginable horror"
“There are many of us that long to build bridges”

Mariam, along with four other Palestinian journalists, was killed in Nasser hospital yesterday.
Devastating.
Mariam frequently worked with @msf.org.
Here is some of her exceptional and harrowing work curated by @apnews.com :

On hearing of the tragic loss of Abdullah Hammad, the 12th @msf.org staff member killed in Gaza since October 2023, I try and explain orchestrated disaster our teams on the ground are witnessing on a daily basis.
edition.cnn.com/2025/07/04/T...
Gaza’s only remaining lifeline—humanitarian assistance—is being weaponized.
Supplies are throttled.
If not blocked outright, they are rerouted to advance military and political objectives.
Via @al-jazeera-english.bsky.social the experience of
@msf.org teams www.aljazeera.com/video/inside...
Delivering humanitarian aid in a conflict zone is a serious matter. It is action that takes expertise and principles to accomplish.
Latest Inside Geneva podcast on why politicising and militarising aid is a fatal mistake.
Following attacks on humanitarians in South Sudan, Gaza, and Sudan, including @msf.org and killings of Palestine Red Crescent Society & Relief International staff
....the silence is deafening
No outrage
No accountability
What is the cost for killing humanitarians?
swissinfo.ch/eng/internat...
An appalling incident. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of the Relief International team.
Sincere condolences from @msf.org.
Relief International were the only international humanitarian organisation still operating for the people in Zamzam camp, Sudan.
Treating millions while global aid falls apart': only possible due to the strong (and predominantly unrestricted!) support of our over 7.3 million private donors around the world.
I have no doubt that @chrislockyear.msf.org could have spoken for hours about the horrific crimes of war in Sudan. But the real question is - what will the #UNSC do? They’ve mastered the art of listening, but where is the action on Peace and Security?
#Sudan: Our Secretary General, @chrislockyear.msf.org, provided an update to the #UnitedNations Security Council on the #humanitarian #crisis in #Sudan.
Nearly two years into the war and providing healthcare and assistance is nearly impossible because of the intense fighting. #TalkAboutSudan
Just now: Our message about Sudan at the UN Security Council, from @chrislockyear.msf.org:
"While statements are being made in this chamber, civilians remain...
unseen
unprotected
bombed
besieged
raped
displaced
deprived of food
of medical care
of dignity."
#TalkAboutSudan
Watch @chrislockyear.msf.org brief the United Nations Security Council - #UNSC - on the humanitarian crisis our teams and patients witness in #Sudan: youtu.be/WFM2M2xgKqg
Let's continue to #TalkAboutSudan!
#NewYork: @chrislockyear.msf.org, Secretary General of Doctors Without Borders, will speak to the United Nations Security Council on the humanitarian situation in #Sudan during a briefing at 10 a.m. and 12 noon ET, today.
Hear his full remarks: webtv.un.org.
#Gaza: @chrislockyear.msf.org explains how North Gaza is almost inhabitable.
The situation is appalling; there is nothing left.

On @bbcworldservice.bsky.social, on the horrific scenes in the @msf.org supported Al Nao hospital, Omdurman #Sudan.
Another graphic illustration of this war on civilians.
Including what it takes to have our medical teams present, and our engagement with all sides of the conflict.
#Breaking #Sudan: This morning the @msf.ca supported Al Nao hospital in Omdurman was a scene of utter devastation after an RSF explosive hit a nearby market.
General Secretary @chrislockyear.msf.org was in Al Nao hospital as patients started arriving after this atrocious attack.
Breaking #Sudan: 'What we’ve seen before our eyes has been nothing short of horrendous’
General Secretary @chrislockyear.msf.org speaking from Al Nao hospital as it received patients injured in an RSF attack on a market in Omdurman.
The possible ceasefire in #Gaza must be respected and long-term, it is only the first step in addressing the overwhelming humanitarian, psychological, and medical needs in Gaza. We urge all parties to ensure humanitarian aid reaches people across the Strip now.
In recent days, the Masisi Territory of North Kivu province has been the scene of major clashes between the armed group M23/AFC and the Congolese army, backed by allied elements. These clashes have led to large population movements in the area. bit.ly/3DPyx0M 1/5
Sudan: Inside the world’s worst humanitarian crisis
We are witnessing a global humanitarian failure.
Much more could have been done, much more can be done, and much more should be done.
