@msf.ca data shows diseases directly linked to these poor living conditions-- these account for 70% of outpatient consultations in our clinics.

The only responsible course of action? It's not complicated.

⚡We need an immediate, massive scale-up of humanitarian aid & access. We need it NOW.

Imagine if all of us in #Toronto were crammed into an area 6x smaller than the city with no protection, sanitation or hospitals. Or if the entire pop of #Chicago were squeezed into 1/3rd the area of #Manhattan. Or if all ppl in #Brussels were jammed into a few neighborhoods, exposed to the elements.

⚠️The start of a #ceasefire (already violated) is not the end to accountability or outrage. Here's what I find absolutely abhorrent as I sift through our @msf.ca data: Over 2 million Palestinians being forced into 13% of #Gaza- a patch of land so small that the scale of suffering is catastrophic.
October 24, 2025 at 5:26 PM
This is nowhere near enough, but it's a start. Reclaiming even fragments of humanity in a place where it’s been stripped away is what keeps us going.

📣 Because access to water, to care, to dignity--these should never depend on politics, nor on who the world decides is human enough to deserve them.

(3/4) Abed innovated with remarkable ingenuity--he worked with tailors & logisticians to create custom compression suits for burn patients. He modified walkers for patients injured & amputated in the madness of this genocide. He was the vision behind our 3D physiotherapy dept #Gaza.
October 5, 2025 at 3:03 PM
💔 (1/4) We've lost a juggernaut in @msf.ca. Abed El Hamid Qaradaya was a powerhouse with deep expertise in physiotherapy & occupational therapy.

Clearly identifiable aid workers are being killed. Clearly identifiable red lines are being crossed. An entire population is clearly, systematically being dehumanized, erased, starved & besieged.

❗It's time for clearly identifiable, undisputable, concrete, bold, action from world leaders. ❗

He was at a bus stop, in an MSF vest, waiting to head to our field hospital in #Gaza. 4 MSF colleagues were injured in the attack, all clearly identifiable as medical humanitarian workers. One of our staff is in critical condition with shrapnel wounds.

💔 This is Omar Hayek. He was a kind man, the sole provider for his family, & one who brought the highest level of professionalism to his work as an occupational therapist for @msf.ca.

This morning, Omar became our 14th colleague killed in an #Israeli attack.

This is a call to conscience.

Join me and @msf.ca in demanding #Canada & world leaders don’t turn the page on #Gaza’s genocide. It’s time for action, not excuses.

This Declaration, while a positive step, is not legally binding. Now comes the crucial test: Canada and other signatories must follow through with real, practical action. (2/3)
September 24, 2025 at 5:02 PM
🍁 I welcome Canada's decision to sign the Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel. It reaffirms commitments to IHL & sends a strong message against attacks on humanitarian workers, medical facilities, and civilians. (1/3)
September 24, 2025 at 5:02 PM
🍁Canada has a choice. We don’t need to be a superpower to stand on the side of justice. We need the moral courage to lead when others stay silent. No excuses, no exceptions.

Add your voice to ours, and sign our @msf.ca petition: lnkd.in/g9Jp4MjJ

🍁 I stood alongside inspired & mobilized Canadians on Parliament Hill for #Gaza. We held pictures that were reminders of the human cost of #Israel’s campaign of genocide.

🩺@msf.ca doctors can treat the wounded, but we cannot stop genocide. That responsibility lies with world leaders.
September 22, 2025 at 4:55 PM
📣Recognition is not enough. Of genocide, of statehood. Palestinians need justice. The recent UN report is an important, brutal indictment. But the time for talk is over.

We need action from world leaders, including Canada. Sign the @msf.ca petition & demand accountability. ✊

"Our shared humanity matters."

@msf.ca's new International President, Dr.Javid Abdelmoneim, will be sharing his thoughts about our work as he takes on an important role in this critical time of humanitarian crises.

#Israel’s unabashed killing of an entire @aljazeera.com team in #Gaza is an assault on truth. Its continued targeting of aid workers is an attack on humanity.

📣 Murdering the messenger doesn't erase the truth.
📣 Killing aid workers won’t make the medical emergency go away.
August 11, 2025 at 6:17 PM
Instead of talking abt what @msf.ca teams see in #Gaza, here’s what we don’t:
❌No fully functional hospitals
❌No reliable supply chains
❌No electricity, no fuel
❌No clean water, no affordable food
❌No respect for international law
🟥No red line that hasn't been crossed.

25% of children + pregnant women screened at @msf.ca facilities in #Gaza are malnourished, w/ severe malnutrition rates tripling in kids under five in Gaza City.

When will our hunger for meaningful change be greater than the gnawing pain of hunger for food in Gaza?

What really is a "ground offensive?" For those in #Sudan, it’s not strategy. It’s suffering. It is:

❌ A young boy named Mahanat losing his hand & father when RSF attacked #Zamzam camp, a supposed safe haven for 500K people.
❌ For Sudanese fleeing to #Chad: It's scarce food, water & healthcare.

Abdullah is our 12th colleague killed in #Gaza since this monstrosity of a war began.

🚨 We have crossed a Rubicon of unacceptable violence against aid workers and civilians. It is about time we overcome passive acceptance with collective action. 🚨

🍁 #Canada's impact depends on the choices made by our political leaders.

That's why I'm calling on all leaders to stand up for humanity in this pivotal moment.

🧵 My @msf.ca colleague Hussam Al Loulou is now the 11th MSF staff member to be killed since the war started in #Gaza. Yet he was—like all our other staff who were killed—so much more than this number.
