Nov 20: Five MSF vehicles parked in front of our clinic in #Gaza city were destroyed by the intervention of the Israeli forces. The clinic was also damaged as a result and part of the building was engulfed by fire. The cars and the clinic were clearly identified with our logo.

International Humanitarian Law is explicitly clear that hospitals and medical personnel must be protected. Attacks on hospitals are attacks on humanity. Take action to uphold our shared humanity by demanding an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza. https://t.co/hPes1pBrIY

MSF urgently reiterates its calls to stop the attacks against hospitals, for an immediate ceasefire and for the protection of medical facilities, medical staff and patients, and to allow people who wish to leave the hospitals to do so. https://t.co/XyzolzLwZx

The huge number of children whose wounds we have treated or bodies we have delivered to hospital morgues obliterates any notion that adequate precautions are being taken to protect civilians. #Gaza

There can be no justification for this. None whatsoever. If people can not be safe in a hospital, where can they? This attack must be unequivocally condemned in the strongest possible manner Ceasefire is needed now. Innocent men, women & children must be allowed to leave Gaza
Hundreds of people have been killed in an Israeli strike on a hospital in Gaza, according to Palestinian officials Follow the latest ⬇️

Our study looking at pregnancy and parenting experiences of trainee surgeon has been published. As a surgical trainee and a mum of 2 the results have been quite shocking but sadly not unexpected. Time for a culture change in surgical training #womeninsurgery #parentsinsurgery

One of the darkest days for women’s rights in my lifetime. Obviously the immediate consequences will be suffered by women in the US - but this will embolden anti-abortion & anti-women forces in other countries too. Solidarity doesn’t feel enough right now - but it is necessary.

On a survey of all male surgeons I know, a vast majority of them have partners who work part time:don’t work (I know some who’s partners do, but majority don’t) Of female surgeons I know all their partners work full time Let’s think about what this means for women in surgery?

ALL REFUGEES WELCOME ALL REFUGEES WELCOME ABSOLUTELY EVERY SINGLE REFUGEE WELCOME War is horror no matter the location, no matter the colour of the victims. If I hear one more Uk/US/French or German pundit talk about victims ‘just like us’ I’m going to fkin lose it.

When you hear Rishi Sunak propose a £200 *loan* as a solution for households facing energy bills rocketing by £693, remember: He's the richest MP, who last night in Parliament pushed through a tax cut for bankers worth £1,000,000,000 a year. Sunak's on their side, not yours.
