@msf.caIn #Lebanon, our #mentalhealth hotline has answered hundreds of calls and provided ongoing psychosocial consultations.
On #WorldMentalHealthDay, hear directly from our patients:
@msf.caThree years on, Israel continues to asphyxiate #Gaza.
With Israeli forces now occupying approximately 65 per cent of Gaza, the ‘Yellow Line’ is further restricting where Palestinians can live, putting people at risk of being shot and disrupting aid.
@msf.caWhile other governments are scaling back their humanitarian assistance funding, Canada must take a stand and support people facing humanitarian crises.

@msf.caThe 2024–2025 #cholera outbreak in #Sudan, the deadliest in the country’s modern history, was driven by conflict, not seasonal weather.
Attacks on infrastructure, blackouts affecting treatment plants and hospitals and funding cuts fueled the outbreak. #TalkAboutSudan
@msf.ca#Kenya has reported its first confirmed #Ebola disease case and subsequent death in Nairobi. As health authorities respond, our teams continue to support preparedness efforts across the country.

@msf.ca#ThisIsGenocideNotACeasefire: Israel continues to kill Palestinians, attack hospitals and block access to aid and healthcare. Meanwhile, world leaders are failing to stop it.
We call for the protection of civilians in #Gaza and the lifting of restrictions on aid.
@msf.caTwo companies are developing potential #Ebola treatments for the #Bundibugyo virus.
Access should be considered from the start, so these treatments reach people who need them.
We’re calling for transparency on their development: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/democratic-r...
@msf.ca“#Ebola is a disease that causes a lot of fear and a lot of miscomprehensions.” – Jack Latour, Canadian Nurse Activity Manager in #DRC.
At the start of the outbreak in Nia Nia, more people were dying in the community than arriving at the centre due to fear.
Watch her update:
@msf.ca#Malaysia plans to return nearly 1,500 refugees back to #Myanmar, including #Rohingya people, while conditions are not safe.
"[This is] deeply alarming. Let's be clear. Return is not safe and it is not viable," says Dr Javid Abdelmoneim, International President.
Watch his update:
@msf.caCanada can show to the rest of the world that humanitarian assistance isn’t a feel-good option that can be cut when times are hard, but an obligation based on principles and values.

@msf.caFrom Jan. to July 2026, 1,389 children were hospitalized for acute malnutrition at Mudug regional hospital in #Somalia.
As needs grow, funding cuts are forcing organizations to scale back emergency food assistance..
Watch a mother share her story:
@msf.caThe #Ebola disease outbreak is not shrinking. It's moving.
Our teams are seeing cases emerge in new, underprepared areas while response measures remain insufficient in hotspots.
More support from UN agencies is critically needed.

@msf.caPeople living with non-communicable diseases, like #diabetes, need access to continuous, reliable care.
Yet conflict, displacement and weak infrastructure disrupts treatment and increases the risk of complications.

@msf.caChildren must be included in #Ebola treatment & prevention research, as they are disproportionately affected by the outbreak in the #DRC. Yet many barriers restrict their access to medical countermeasures.
Red our statement & @thelancet.com commentary: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/democratic-r...
@msf.caThese attacks are part of a continuing pattern across #Gaza.
On Sept. 11, our teams at Al Attar had treated 11 others injured in Israeli airstrikes.
On Sept. 13, an Israeli airstrike hit a car next to an MSF bus transporting humanitarian workers, injuring one of our staff.
@msf.caToday, our teams at Al Zawayda field hospital treated eight people wounded in an Israeli airstrike, three were children. On Sept. 15, an Israeli strike hit a displacement camp in Khan Younis. Our teams at Al Attar healthcare clinic treated three people, including two children.
@msf.caIn the last week, MSF teams have treated 22 people with shrapnel wounds or injuries from explosions. Once again, Israeli forces are showing that nowhere is safe in #Gaza.
@msf.caIsraeli airstrikes continue to hit #Gaza every day, killing and injuring people across the Strip. In the last 24 hours, our teams have treated 11 people, including five children, wounded by airstrikes.
@msf.caThis escalation risks pushing #Yemen's health system past the point of recovery.
Our teams are supporting various medical teams and hospitals. Read here: https://www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/yemen-renewed-fighting-puts-pressure-on-the-health-system-and-aggravates-humanitarian-needs/
@msf.caOver 117,000 refugees live in Ouré‑Cassoni camp in #Chad, where needs for food, water, shelter and healthcare are rising. Yet, global humanitarian funding is declining.
