Today @unicefssudan staff lowered the 🇺🇳 & UNICEF flags to half-mast & stood together in a moment of silence to mourn & honour the aid workers lost in Gaza & remember all aid workers across the world including in South Sudan who have lost their lives in humanitarian service.
Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. —Edward Said
Humility and confidence are not mutually exclusive and great leaders have both. Humility to know what they don’t know and confidence to ask questions and rely on others. Humility to know that they’re not perfect and confidence to admit their mistakes and to grow and improve.
At 8:10am local time today, MSF was able to reach a member of our team in Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza after losing contact during relentless attacks by Israeli forces over the past few days. Here is what our colleague told us while still inside the hospital:…

“87% of youth under 30 live in the Global South” I learned this yesterday at the launch of the Chrysalis Youth Fund. That means that when we speak about youth, and support systems for youth, the room should be 87% Global South.
Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay 💙 Did you know that #Africa has the highest suicide rate in the world? Some people believe that #suicide is 'not an African problem'. But the facts show otherwise👇🏾
The #ClimateCrisis and #AirPollution are threats to human health, driving diseases like cancer, asthma, heart disease, and mosquito-borne diseases like dengue.
What was once a dream - the end of AIDS by 2030 - @PEPFAR’s partnership makes possible. The importance of bipartisan support for the reauthorisation of #PEPFAR cannot be overstated. People's lives are at stake. #endAIDSby2030 thelancet.com/journals/lanhi…

When people who are health care providers have exceptions/conditions about who should v. should not be treated humanely, it makes me extremely concerned about whether they may be providing different levels of care to their own patients based on their patients’ backgrounds.
