“War is driving Sudan’s needs; funding cuts are shrinking the response.” In Sudan, people have fewer places to seek medical care after funding cuts have closed clinics. This pushes people to travel further to the next open facility, where they often arrive in a more serious condition. 📢 Governments and institutional donors must protect funding for essential health services, and provide flexible transitional financing where facilities are at risk of closure.

It’s been 100 days since the Ebola disease outbreak was declared in Democratic Republic of Congo, and communities are not receiving adequate support to curb the deadly spread. 📢 “Treatment centres remain essential for saving lives, but this response needs more than extra beds.” - Javid Abdelmoneim Many of the deaths from Ebola disease have occurred outside of treatment centres. This means people aren’t receiving the care they need, and the virus continues to spread before cases are detected. Training for health workers and community leaders on case detection, referrals, and infection prevention and control measures must be urgently bolstered within communities affected by the outbreak.

In South-West state, Somalia, the malnutrition crisis continues to grow as donor support shrinks. The crisis has reached shocking levels in displacement sites in Baidoa. Of the 888 households we surveyed in July: 🚨 One in two children is acutely malnourished 🚨 Only 2 per cent of families can afford three meals a day 📢 To prevent further deaths, we’re calling for urgent action. The donor community must adequately fund an emergency response in Baidoa and other affected areas.

Too often, sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care is seen as secondary or optional. While it has been underprioritised for years, further humanitarian funding cuts reduced services for many communities in 2025. Our teams know SRH care is not optional, because we see the devastating consequences of its absence. 🔴 Severe pregnancy complications 🔴 Preventable stillbirths and maternal deaths 🔴 Newborns dying in their first days SRH care is central to our mandate as humanitarians. We’re committed to providing lifesaving and impartial SRH services, and following medical guidelines that promote autonomy, respect, and person-centred care. Read more 👇

And here are a few more insights from my visit to #SouthSudan: the incredible work our Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are doing, and the very real challenges they, but particularly the people of South Sudan face every day. 👇

The effects of humanitarian funding cuts are not abstract. In Chad, chronic underfunding translates to: 🔴 Stockouts of food supplies to treat malnutrition 🔴 Local food distributions excluding host communities 🔴 Paediatric malnutrition admissions increasing at the hospitals we support 📢 We call on international donors to fund Chad’s 2026 response plans and to explicitly include host communities in food and nutrition assistance:

*NEW EVIDENCE* shows benefits of analogue insulin on diabetes management: A new study from MSF – as well as the HumAn 1 trail – share data from low- and middle-income countries, including those affected by humanitarian crises, showing that analogue #insulin is associated with improved management and regulation of blood sugar levels for people with #diabetes. ● Masri et al (2026), an MSF study among children with Type 1 diabetes in Lebanon, a country affected by protracted humanitarian crises, showed that, “the use of analogue insulins was associated with improved glycemic control." 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gie5dtZB ● Luo et al (2026), in the HumAn-1 trial, conducted in Bangladesh and Tanzania, found “participants in the [insulin analogue] group spent less time in the very low range [hypoglycaemia] and had a reduced number of nocturnal hypoglycaemic events.” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gkN4qk-7 Together, these studies strengthen the evidence base on the benefits of analogue insulin, especially for people living with diabetes in low-resource and humanitarian settings. To improve diabetes care globally, analogue insulins must be accessible and affordable for all.

Before I leave #SouthSudan, I want to share one message very clearly: violence must never be normalised. South Sudan is one of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)’s largest operations, with more than 3,500 colleagues working in around 18 locations across the country. But since 2025, our teams have witnessed a sharp increase in violence, including 13 attacks on MSF staff and facilities. These incidents have included aerial strikes, gunfire, abductions, looting, and the destruction of health centres. The impact is devastating. An estimated 760,000 people have lost vital access to healthcare because MSF has had to abandon destroyed facilities or leave locations due to insecurity. This includes children and pregnant women - so the most vulnerable. We remain committed to providing healthcare in South Sudan. But we need guarantees for the safety of patients, staff, and health facilities, as well as safe access to the communities who need us. We are calling for an end to #AttacksOnHealthcare and civilians. Violence must never be normalised!
