Two years of all-out war in Gaza

Two years of all-out war on Gaza

Over the past two years, Israeli forces have systematically destroyed the conditions necessary for life in the Strip, attacking hospitals, striking residential areas, destroying vital civilian infrastructure, and choking off access to food, water, medicines, and other basic needs for survival. Famine has been declared in northern Gaza—a manufactured emergency created by the Israeli authorities’ use of starvation as a weapon of war. The physical and mental health needs are overwhelming. It has become shockingly clear to the world that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people.

How MSF is helping in Gaza

With over 1,000 staff working in hospitals, clinics, and other facilities across the Gaza Strip, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is providing Palestinians with surgical care, wound and burn care, malnutrition screening and treatment, maternal and pediatric care, and other vital services at a time of urgent need and scant resources. We also provide rehabilitative care for war-wounded children medically evacuated from Gaza to our reconstructive surgery hospital in Amman, Jordan.

Take action now

MSF is calling on world leaders to act now to stop the genocide. States must stop sending weapons to Israel that are being used to kill and maim civilians. We are calling for an immediate ceasefire and a surge of lifesaving humanitarian aid. All remaining hostages taken in Israel must be allowed to return home, and Palestinians held in arbitrary detention must be released.
