It’s time to stop the empty talk and start acting.
A rare and withering statement from @MSFAustralia
Accuses Israel of:
- "indiscriminate attacks"
- "a blanket attack on Gazans" that "defies... the rules of war"
- "The absolute trouncing of humanitarian values"

. @StephenJonesMP Time for the Australian Government commit to increasing the offshore Humanitarian Program to 30,000 places per annum in the 2023-24 Budget, with the vast majority being visa subclass 200 (UNHCR referred) #Refugees #QandA #auspol
Dehumanizing refugees has terrible medical consequences. Highest rates of suicidology MSF has seen in youth, in Nauru. Under Australian responsibility. #QandA
#QandA It is not one individual's lived experience, it is a violation of international humanitarian principles. Shut offshore detention now.

(1/3) Following the strong #earthquake that hit mainly south-east #Turkiye (formally #Turkey) and north-west #Syria earlier today, #MSF teams have been responding in northern Syria since the early hours. #TurkeyEarthquake

Indeed it is, as my colleague @angussmithh put it, happy news. theguardian.com/australia-ne…
And because Martha’s Vineyard responded to this political stunt by mobilising quickly as a community to give 50 migrants shelter, rest, and dignity…it remains my favourite place on the planet. bbc.com/news/world-us-canada…

There remains more than 210 human beings held against their will in PNG and Nauru that are OUR legal and moral responsibility.
Yet there they remain. Suffering. Filled with despair. Nearly 10 years of their lives stolen by our Australian Government for being a refugee.
ENOUGH
I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of life & destruction caused by the #PakistanFloods
#MSF began working in #Pakistan in 1986. Right now we are assessing the situation to see how we can best help. We will update our supporters as information emerges

Live: #Rohingya artists from #ARWDO unveiling new mural with #MSF to mark five years since the #Myanmar military campaign that forced 700,000 Rohingya people into #Bangladesh

After a solid week of Australian schooling for my kids, I can say that my second favourite thing about schools here is school uniforms. It's amazing to not have to worry about outfits.
Of course, that's a distant second to the fact that they won't die in a shooting.
Jennifer Tierney retweeted
Did you know tomorrow will mark 5 years since the largest campaign of violence was waged against the Rohingya people in Myanmar?
Thousands were killed and more than 700,000 were forced across the border into Bangladesh. Here are 10 facts about the Rohingya you need to know. 👇

Many said #kidsoffnauru was impossible same goes for #Medevac, NZ deal, 16,500 places for Afghanistan & release of all refugees from Park Hotel. All were achieved by refugees never giving up & us standing with them. I’m confident real change is coming soon, just keep pressure up.
Jennifer Tierney retweeted
While my heart is filled with joy for Nadesalingam family being free in #biolela, remember no refugee policies have changed. Nothing is better for refugees. We need all refugee families on TPVs/SHEVs to be granted permanent protection & refugees evacuated from PNG and Nauru now.

Medical data and accounts from patients evacuated on @MSF #medicaltrain show that the war in #Ukraine is being conducted with an outrageous lack of care to distinguish and protect civilians.
Jennifer Tierney retweeted
There’s absolutely NO evidence to suggest this will deter people from trying to seek refuge in the UK but plenty of medical evidence to show how dangerous a policy like this is.
When the Australian gov tried it we saw the worst mental health crisis in our 50+ years of work.
I think we should get #nursesandmidwivesmotion going, off the back of this tweet. What say you @trishnayna ?
Reminder: nurses do not report to us, physicians. RNs are not our “subordinates,” “assistants,” or of a “lower rank.” They’re not “under us,” they have their own managers. RNs have an entirely different job and skillset. We can’t do what they do and vice versa. We are colleagues.
