As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. https://www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/measles-canada-americas-paho-who-elimination-status/

"La bande de Gaza, assiégée par Israël, est en proie à un désastre humanitaire après deux ans de guerre.

#UN convoy came under attack while delivering aid to a front-line community in the #Kherson region.
Humanitarian coordinator for #Ukraine, Matthias Schmale, strongly condemns attacks targeting UN vehicles
Humanitarian workers, including from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs ( #OCHA) in Ukraine and the World Health Organization ( #WHO) in Ukraine, were on a mission to provide humanitarian aid to a heavily war-impacted community that had not received assistance for months. When the aid workers were on site, intensive artillery fire started, and later, during offloading, two clearly marked trucks of the World Food Programme #WFP were targeted by first-person-view drones. Fortunately, the humanitarian workers were not injured, but two trucks were damaged and set on fire.

#WHO Warns of Sharp Increase in Drug-Resistant Infections
The #UN #health agency found that one in six #infections worldwide was resistant to the most commonly available #antibiotics.
Across the world the spread of dangerous infections that do not respond to antibiotics has been increasing by as much as 15 percent a year, affecting treatment for urinary tract infections, gonorrhea, E. coli and other #pathogens that kill millions of people annually.

“Gaza needs to be flooded by food. It needs to be flooded by water, essential medicines and medical supplies and a regular flow of fuel. And above all, of course, we need a ceasefire – and we need it now.”
