During my visit to Darfur, Sudan, I met @msf.org colleagues at Zalingei hospital, where drone strikes regularly occur just outside the walls. During mass casualty events, they work under intense pressure to save lives.
The world must not look away from the conflict in Sudan.
Ten years after the UN Security Council adopted resolution 2286, reaffirming protection of medical facilities and personnel, attacks on healthcare still continue. That attacks still occur is a failure of political will.

In 2016, the international community reaffirmed that the wounded and sick, as well as those who care for them, must be protected.
That attacks on healthcare continue to occur 10 years on is a failure of political will.
I visited Zalingei Teaching hospital in Central Darfur, Sudan, earlier this month. The hospital had been bombed and looted and I was proud to see the work that our teams had achieved in restoring healthcare to people – something that should never have been lost.
In 2014, I visited eastern DRC, where @msf.org teams were treating sleeping sickness - the only available treatment was a drug so toxic it killed 1 in 20 patients. In 2026 I'm so proud that, thanks to @dndi.org, patients can be cured with a single dose of a groundbreaking new oral drug, acoziborole.
Three words to describe three years of war in Sudan: catastrophe, atrocities, impunity.
These words don’t just describe a ‘humanitarian situation’, they are the daily reality of people and communities — and this continues because of political failure.

10 years ago today, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2286. Over 80 Member States committed to protect medical humanitarian work. Yet @msf.org is sharing the same message from 2016:
🔴 Stop bombing hospitals.
🔴 Stop bombing health workers.
🔴 Stop bombing patients.
Women in Somalia often face “triple delays” in accessing healthcare; a delay in seeking care, in reaching care, and in receiving care.
These delays can have deadly consequences.
