Sierra Leone is currently experiencing an outbreak of mpox, with over 1,000 cases reported as of 4 May. 🔨 We just rehabilitated a ward at Connaught hospital so that people can receive treatment in an isolation unit. Agnes Dama, on site in Sierra Leone, tells us more ⬆️

🗣️ “I just depend on what I can find, day to day. If I get something, we will eat. If I don’t get something, we won’t. This is my life.” 🗣️ “I have lost brothers. I lost four of my brothers. And one is disabled now due to injuries they got during the war.” 🗣️ “I had no choice; we had to leave. There were no hospitals open… no medicines – even the hospitals and clinics were being targeted. We had to leave.” This is a selection of testimonies from our latest report on the conflict in Sudan, Voices from South Darfur. This report shares more stories from people who are living through devastating violence, insecurity, and hunger in the South Darfur region. We also discuss how supporting local initiatives with determination and creativity can change people’s lives. Read the report now: https://msf.me/Voices-South-Darfur

Bilal and Amira are our colleagues in Gaza. Just like the patients they treat, they can be subjected to unpredictable and ridiculously last-minute evacuation orders from Israeli forces. These evacuation orders can send them scrambling to collect a few items and their family members in the seconds before bombing starts, often in the middle of the night. 🎥 They shared with us how it feels to never know where is safe.

Survivors of extreme violence and torture need comprehensive healthcare that treats their psychological wounds along with their physical ones. That’s why we opened the El CAI in Mexico 🇲🇽, where people who have suffered extreme violence, like sexual assaults, kidnapping, and torture, along the Central American migration route can receive care that is focused on their entire well-being. After spending 3-6 months in the centre, our team of specialists hope that people are able to reintegrate back into society. Last year, 186 people joined the programme. Read about how the need for this type of care is increasing ↕️ https://msf.me/mexico-comprehensive-care

Ukraine’s healthcare system faces immense pressure after 3 years of intense war. Medical staff are balancing the need for emergency responses with the ongoing needs of patients affected by the war. To respond to this pressure, we operate ambulances to transfer patients from overburdened hospitals near the frontline. 🚑 We’ve transferred 25,000 patients in the last 3 years.
