“Most of the patients we receive have been shot in the abdomen and the legs. Some have had their liver and spleen shattered while others have severe vascular injuries,” says Dr Pedro Serrano, MSF intensive care unit doctor.

We are horrified by the escalation in the Gaza strip and the mass killing of civilians perpetrated by both sides. Millions of men, women & children are facing a collective punishment in the form of total siege, indiscriminate bombing, and the pending threat of a ground battle.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting staff and patients at Al Salam hospital in Khamer, Yemen. @MSF has been supporting this hospital for 10 years, a great accomplishment for all the teams involved.

We remain deeply concerned about our @MSF staff member who was detained at a checkpoint by Israeli forces while trying to leave Nasser hospital on Feb 15. Israeli authorities confirmed he is in their custody. We call on them to treat him with dignity and ensure his wellbeing.

Looking at the rough sea that’s accompanying us, I can’t help but wonder how many souls are currently in #Libya struggling to flee. For those that take to the sea, many will be intercepted and forced back by the Libyan Coast Guard. Like what happened to Mussa.⤵️

Whether they leave or stay, all civilians must be protected, in Mariupol and other Ukrainian towns, and humanitarian aid must be allowed in at all times, not just when the military decides.

Images and stories from the war in Ukraine are shocking. The suffering of civilians reminds us of patterns we’ve witnessed working in conflict zones over the last 50 years and more recently - in Syria, in Iraq, in Yemen, in Afghanistan. (+)

In conducting their military operations, parties to the conflict must consider not only the immediate risk of harm to medical facilities, but also the longer-term consequences of a completely decimated healthcare system. See the full report.⬇️

Today, we remember our colleague Maryam Noorzad and all the caretakers, children, mothers and medical staff whose lives were so cruelly cut short. We hope that no other families experience such appalling tragedy as they celebrate bringing new lives into the world.

Tomorrow morning we shall arrive at #Genova . Four days after the rescue! An unnecessary trip, since we passed by so many other Italian ports. It makes no sense and it is frustrating to see that we are wasting time navigating instead of being where we are most needed. 👇
