Our doctors and nurses in Sudan are treating survivors of genocide.

Last October, the Rapid Support Forces stormed El Fasher. In just three days, more than 6,000 people were killed. The UN has concluded it was genocide.

Now the same warning signs are appearing in El Obeid. The RSF is besieging a city of hundreds of thousands of people, using drones to cut power and water to homes and hospitals.

We are scaling up our response. At Dar Omo displacement camp, our medical teams are carrying out 4,000 consultations a month, including care for people who survived the violence in El Fasher.

Sudan's people are being displaced again and again, facing famine, disease, and vanishing access to healthcare. They need medical aid now more than ever. Your support keeps our doctors and nurses on the ground, ready for whatever comes next.

This World Humanitarian Day, aid work has never been more dangerous.

Over 1,000 aid workers have been killed in the last three years. Most were local staff, people who stayed to serve their own communities, only to be blocked, arrested, even detained for it.

This is a pattern that keeps repeating because it keeps going unpunished.

945 attacks on healthcare this year. The United Nations is clear that violations of international humanitarian law must carry real consequences. Too often enough, they don't.

Humanitarians deserve real protection and accountability when that protection fails.

Enough is enough. Share this - make sure it is seen ♻️

Doctors of the World UK needed you, and you didn't let us down.

Since the largest earthquake in a decade hit Colombia last week, so many of you have responded. Together, you've helped us raise over £2800 for our emergency response.

Because we were already working in Colombia, our medical teams could get moving straight away. Right now, doctors, nurses and psychologists are treating the injured, and bereaved, supporting overwhelmed hospitals and helping families and children cope with the shock and grief of what's happened.

But there's still so much need, especially in Chocó, where some communities are still hard to reach. If you can give again, your support will help us keep our teams on the ground for as long as it takes.

Thank you for showing up for Colombia. Thank you for helping our doctors be there. Healthcare is a human right. Healthcare in an emergency is everything.

Please keep giving if you can donate here 👉 https://tinyurl.com/2yhu6hsv

The climate crisis does not affect us all equally.

It’s easy to complain about the heat. Harder to reckon with the fact that, for some, changing temperatures mean losing their homes entirely.

Right now, more than 1 million people in Bangladesh are living through monsoon floods and landslides made worse by climate change. Many will be forced to migrate just to survive.

We serve people wherever they are forced to flee, and whatever their status. Because healthcare is a human right.

🚨 A powerful earthquake has hit western Colombia.

Entire towns have been damaged and are without electricity. Thousands of homes are destroyed, 84 hospitals have been damaged and the rest are overwhelmed.

Our doctors and nurses are already on the ground, providing emergency care to thousands of people. We have deployed mobile clinics to reach families and communities left without even basic medical support.

Your donation will provide medicine, clean water, and vital care to people who have lost everything.

One photo, two perspectives ✌️

One brings you closer to the individual. The other reveals the wider picture. Both matter.

We can only begin to understand a crisis when we see it through the eyes of the people living it. Their lived experience reveals what too often goes unseen - the challenges of accessing healthcare, the impact of conflict, and what needs to change.

That’s why we work alongside people and communities at every stage of our work. Because healthcare works best when the people most affected help shape the solutions.

📍Lebanon: over one million people have been forcibly displaced since March 2026.

Emergency shelters are stretched beyond capacity. Infrastructure is overwhelmed. Medical staff and ambulances are coming under repeated attack by the Israeli authorities.

For people who have been displaced, the psychological toll is huge.

We are on the ground with mobile medical units, working alongside Lebanese health centres, so that healthcare and mental health support reach people wherever they are - including the hardest-to-reach areas.

Throwback to our Refugee Week event.

Doctors. Nurses. People with lived experience of the asylum and health system in the UK.

They spoke up about being turned away from medical care due to hostile government policy. About delays with diagnosis. About how fear and stress have no place in healthcare settings.

They talked about how courage helped them to heal. The courage of everyone who chooses compassion over division, and care over fear.

Hospitals should be places of safety for everyone. Stick with us if you agree.
