Crisis Responses

Gaza

Nowhere is safe—again—as Israel continues its all-out war on Gaza. With at least 66,000 Palestinians killed and 118,000 wounded, the war has been marked by brutal violence and a disregard for human life and dignity and international law. The months-long siege is further evidence we are witnessing the destruction and forced displacement of the entire population in Gaza.

Sudan

Since 15 April 2023, intense fighting has been taking place between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF—the military forces of the Republic of the Sudan) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF—a powerful paramilitary group) in the capital Khartoum and other parts of Sudan

Nigeria

Northern Nigeria is facing an alarming malnutrition crisis. Since 2021, our teams have been seeing an ever-increasing number of malnourished children in our therapeutic feeding centres, with increasingly severe conditions. 

People fleeing conflict

The frontline of a three-year conflict between an armed group and the army has reached a capital city in the Democratic Republic of Congo, forcing hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. Casualties and cholera are now seriously affecting a critical humanitarian and health situation.

msb

The war in Ukraine—which escalated after Russian forces launched attacks on multiple cities in late February 2022—continues. Almost seven million people fled to neighbouring countries—more than half have since returned—while more than 3.6 million have been forced from their homes.

Syria

MSF is delivering critical care and relief in Syria to strengthen the health system and curtail a health catastrophe—with 90 per cent of the population living in poverty, needs are increasing but cuts to aid are limiting access to care.

Haiti

Since the assassination of the Haitian President Jovenel Moïse nearly three years ago, the people of the capital Port-au-Prince have been struggling to survive as armed gangs, police, and civilian self-defense brigades fight in the streets of the city. 

Rohingya

Since the late 1970s, the Rohingya people, considered “stateless” under international law, have faced persecution in Myanmar, with escalating targeted campaigns forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes to seek refuge in neighbouring countries.
