Joanne Liu, Québécoise and former president of #MSF had her talk cancelled at New York University because one of her slides showed how many humanitarian aid workers died in Gaza and also showed it was the deadliest place for aid workers in 2024.

Apparently it is antisemitic to show this data (that's what they told her)

I've only seen the news in Francophone medias so far

Doctors without Borders (MSF) Syria "warns Turkish airstrikes further deteriorate conditions in NE Syria".
"Since Turkish forces began this escalation on Thursday early morning, 12 civilians, including two children, were killed, and 25 others were injured according to a toll released by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)."

MSF Syria:
─────
We are concerned about the recent military escalation in Northeast Syria (#NES) targeting civilian infrastructure and damaging healthcare facilities resulting in civilian casualties.
This escalation will almost certainly severely affect people's access in #NES to essential services and worsen the socioeconomic situation of a region already devastated by more than a decade of conflict.
We urge all warring parties to prioritize the safety of civilians and refrain from targeting essential infrastructure during this conflict. #NortheastSyria #MSF #DoctorsWithoutBorders

You are invited to join Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) for a special Missing Maps event on Tuesday, September 17 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m ET on Zoom.

At our virtual mapping parties, we use satellite imagery tools to map parts of the world's most remote locations to help MSF respond more effectively to humanitarian emergencies like disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and more. Beginners and experienced mappers are encouraged to join!

At this mapathon we will map in Mizoram state, India, where MSF is supporting local communities and displaced people amid the conflict in Myanmar. Activities include mobile medical clinics, mental health support, water and sanitation support, and distributions of non-food items such as kitchen utensils and blankets. The event will feature a presentation by MSF aid worker Jennifer Stella, who has worked with people from Myanmar, including Rohingya refugees, as project medical referent in the Jamtoli refugee camp in Bangladesh.

"“We are horrified by this deadly event, which shows once again that nowhere is safe,” #DoctorsWithoutBorders wrote on X... more than 15 of the dead & dozens of the injured were brought to a trauma stabilization center that it supports.

“Images of burned #children & #families emerging from bombed tents in #Rafah shocks us all," said Catherine Russell, the head of #UNICEF, the #UN children’s agency."
