Caption: A brief check on her home in the southern suburbs of Beirut⬇️ MSF field communications manager Maryam Srour recorded her experience traveling back to collect some belongings. “There was no way of knowing if the house was still standing,” she said. The area where she used to live is now heavily damaged and largely abandoned. Luckily, Maryam's home was still there. Most of MSF’s staff in Lebanon are displaced, as are the patients they serve, but like Maryam they continue to show up to provide urgent health care, distribute relief items, and support hospitals and health centers. A joint US-Israeli military assault on Iran at the end of February triggered a sharp escalation in violence across the region. Israel then renewed a massive bombing campaign across several areas of Lebanon and issued mass evacuation orders, forcibly displacing more than a million people.

Caption: On World Environment Day, we want to share one of MSF’s initiatives to help reduce emissions and pollutive practices in our projects. Health care depends on single‑use items — and so do we. Currently, 66 percent of the medical items we use are single-use, and many are made of plastic that harms both people’s health and the environment. That’s why we’re rethinking how we use products like gloves and masks. MSF is reviewing more than 4,000 products to reduce our use of unnecessary plastics, shift to safer alternatives, and work with manufacturers to change what’s produced. It will take time and effort to implement the changes needed at MSF and in the health sector at large. Plastic production and disposal represent a global health crisis. Reducing unnecessary single-use plastics is vital to protect health — today and for future generations.

Caption: “Even in wars, the protection of civilians is an obligation that the warring parties have to respect.” Ahmed Abd-elrahman, MSF director of operations, shares a voice note detailing his time in Tiné, Chad. Our medical teams working near the border with Sudan are responding to repeated influxes of patients wounded in drone attacks. Since early May 2026, drone strikes around Tiné — attributed to one of Sudan’s warring parties, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) — have intensified. Our teams have treated 116 people wounded in these strikes, including an increasing number of women and children. Residents report that strikes now occur almost daily, with up to five or six incidents on some days. We call for the protection of civilians and for safe, timely access to health care.

Caption: Trauma from Gaza Humanitarian Foundation continues a year later. We continue to treat injuries, chronic pain, and psychological trauma linked to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a militarized food distribution scheme that launched one year ago but only ran for six months before being forced to stop after significant controversy and criticism. Violence occurring at and related to GHF’s four distribution points led to deaths and injuries for thousands of people who were desperately seeking food during Israel’s months-long total blockade.

Caption: The legacy of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is widespread violence against hungry people. Palestinians’ suffering and injuries sustained while trying to access food have outlasted the controversial US-backed aid scheme. "Nothing about GHF was a humanitarian solution. One year on, the magnitude of the harm inflicted on people at GHF distribution points without any accountability requires an independent investigation. Israel has an obligation to ensure unhindered humanitarian access and condemns aid models, including the GHF, that fail to alleviate suffering.” - Joan Tubau, MSF head of mission for the Occupied Palestinian Territory Link in bio and click this image to read more.

Caption: Drone strikes. Mass casualty events. Attacks on health. This is MSF International President @drjavidabdel, who visited Zalingei Teaching Hospital in Central Darfur earlier this year. Drone strikes regularly occur near the hospital, impacting civilians and the health care system. MSF teams have responded to six mass casualty events since April 2024. We must continue to #TalkAboutSudan and never allow attacks on health care to be normalized.

Caption: LEBANON: Last night, a deadly Israeli airstrike near the MSF-supported Jabal Amel Hospital killed several people, injured medical staff, and caused extensive damage to the facility. The attack killed four people and injured 127, including 39 hospital staff, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. Several hospital departments were damaged, including its in-patient department, radiology department, and intensive care unit. Among the injured staff, four are in critical condition and remain under treatment in intensive care. Bodies are still being recovered from the rubble, and the total number of dead and injured could still rise. One wall of an operating room has been severely damaged, leaving a large hole, and the medical team had to urgently transfer half of the remaining patients in the ICU to another ward to ensure their safety. This comes on the heels of an airstrike that struck nearby Hiram Hospital — another MSF-supported facility — where 13 health care workers were injured. We condemn these airstrikes and call on Israeli authorities to guarantee the protection of civilians, health care workers, and hospitals.

Caption: As Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), visits the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) made the following statement today: Dr. Alan Gonzalez, MSF deputy director of operations: "Never before has an Ebola outbreak recorded so many cases so soon after its declaration. The reality today is that nobody knows the true scale and severity of this outbreak. The number of expert medical organizations responding on the ground is still far too limited, and the level of support being provided — including our own — falls far short of what is needed. “People urgently need a response that matches the scale of the crisis they are facing."

Caption: Unlike most previous Ebola disease outbreaks in Democratic Republic of Congo, the current outbreak is due to the Bundibugyo virus. There are currently no approved vaccines or treatments available for Bundibugyo. Diagnosing this virus is another major challenge as there is a shortage of Bundibugyo virus–specific test kits. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are working to contain the spread of the disease and strengthen patient care, alongside the Congolese Ministry of Health. As of May 28, there have been 125 patients with confirmed cases, 906 suspected cases, and 223 suspected deaths officially reported across Ituri, North Kivu, and South Kivu provinces. However, the true scale of the outbreak remains impossible to measure. Extremely limited testing capacity and difficulties accessing certain areas mean that data must be interpreted with caution.
