Going through my twitter and... What a throwback question straight out of the vault. January 2020.
Might be a dumb question but are regular masks okay to protect against coronavirus or should we be donning N95 masks? @OntariosDoctors hoping for some more info on this
My village in India helped me see Canada’s immigration debate in a new light. I wrote about what we miss when we reduce migration to numbers and job markets — and why it’s personal. @TorontoStar thestar.com/opinion/what-m…
Anyone who ever reported this lie in the first place should not be allowed to work in this industry ever again.
Breaking News: Israeli military officials say they have no proof Hamas routinely steals UN aid, undercutting a claim Israel has used to limit food for Gaza. nyti.ms/4opoK4n
147 countries recognize Palestine. France is next. Canada? Still refuses to do so. Recognition is the bare minimum, a step toward peace, and justice for Palestinians amid a genocide. How many more Palestinians need to be killed before Mark Carney thinks they deserve a state?
Mark Carney says he is not ready to follow France's plan to recognise a Palestinian state in June, adding he supports a two state solution where both sides have peace and security.
Some Canadians think our publicly funded healthcare system is "broken". On my ER shift last night: -I billed one insurer -No one questioned my medical imaging or admission requests -No one asked me for "additional documentation" Ask any American MD if they'd like that.
I stand with @FranceskAlbs. They will sanction the human rights defenders. They will criminalize the students and the protestors. They will vilify the freedom fighters. Because we challenge their power and their crimes. While they continue to commit genocide.
This was twenty months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 14,186 kids since.
Kids in Gaza hosting a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life. “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.” Over 4200 kids, like these, have been killed.
Following the publication of her latest report, the Trump Administration baselessly accused @FranceskAlbs 🇺🇳 of “support for terrorism” and wrote to @antonioguterres to demand her resignation. The world stands with Francesa against corporate complicity and its state backers.
We had mentioned that we sourced and purchased in May what was meant to be an emergency stock of food as the famine continued and it was looking like there was no end in sight. It was good that our team had this foresight, but unfortunately they were right. Support us here:…
My friend and colleague Dr. Tarek Loubani is working in Gaza right now as a medical doctor. Listen to his words. Then do something, do everything you can, to stop this genocide. @trklou
One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.
This is Gaza.
Thanks Tarek. It was pleasure working with you at Nasser. You've done a great job! I can confirm all what you have explained is true and was confirmed intra operatively, I have seen and operated probably on half the cases you posted. In the last 2 weeks of our mission, 90% of…
This little girl was my patient. I'm surprised how little people - even MDs and keyboard warriors- know about penetrating/gunshot trauma. Let me explain what this X-Ray means, how it clearly proves this girl has a gunshot, and why the haters are oh so very wrong. A #MedTwitter 🧵
The GHF claims its aid distribution is a feel-good story. The patients our doctors are seeing tell a different story, like this 1.5 year old girl who was shot by a bullet close to GHF's aid site while in her mother's arms.
Yesterday @WHO delivered its first medical shipment into #Gaza since 2 March - 9 trucks carrying essential medical supplies, 2000 units of blood, and 1500 units of plasma. The supplies were transported from Kerem Shalom, without any looting incident, despite the high-risk…
At a time of record displacement and shrinking support, we always choose solidarity over silence. This #WorldRefugeeDay, we honour refugees not just with our words, but with action, empathy and unwavering support.
🔴 Gaza: “The charade of only allowing medical and fuel supplies at the very last-minute... is nothing but a band aid on a gushing wound. The weaponisation of aid must end.” Israeli authorities must immediately allow in sufficient food and fuel. msf.org/israeli-author…
🚨Carnage continues in Gaza. On 17 June, Israeli forces killed 59 Palestinians and wounded over 200, who were brought to Nasser hospital, according to the Ministry of Health. These were people trying to receive flour rations in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. The medical team…
What the crew of the Madleen did was nothing short of revolutionary. In a world that rewards apathy & silence, they chose resistance thru compassion. They sailed straight into danger not for glory, but to deliver life—baby formula, food, medicine—to those deliberately starved in…
