Activities in 2025
As the war in Gaza continued in 2025, MSF increased efforts to medically evacuate war-wounded patients. Despite major administrative constraints imposed by the Israeli authorities, our teams successfully transferred 35 children and 52 caregivers to the hospital in Amman, where they received comprehensive surgical and rehabilitative care.
Our hospital implements a holistic approach to treatment, which comprises physiotherapy, occupational therapy, mental health care, and psychosocial support. In 2025, we continued to develop a peer-support program, which encourages patients to support one another through their shared experiences of trauma and treatment, offering a chance to bond during rehabilitation.
We have expanded our patient-centered approach by implementing vocational training initiatives, giving patients and caregivers the opportunity to develop practical skills. Learning skills like tailoring and barbering has helped patients improve their employability, regain independence, and reintegrate into society.
In addition, we continue to invest in innovations to enhance care and rehabilitation — for example, 3D-printed limb prosthetics and customized burn masks to help patients recover lost functional abilities and regain autonomy.
