Doctors are not safe in Gaza

As Israel’s war in Palestine, and particularly Gaza continues, MSF’s nearly 1,500 staff continue to risk their lives on a daily basis to assist their fellow Palestinians.

Many of our colleagues are living through this same conflict, displacement and hardships as the patients that they serve. Despite this, our local staff continue to provide lifesaving care every day. Their work demonstrates that even in the most restrictive and difficult circumstances, medical care can continue when dedicated local health workers are supported with the resources, training and solidarity they need to be able to keep going.

That includes Dr Randa Masoud - a medical doctor and health policy manager with over 12 years’ experience in delivering primary healthcare, maternal child health, emergency response and health programming in Gaza. Dr Masoud currently serves as our project medical coordinator in Palestine. She specialises in humanitarian coordination and the management of several MSF primary healthcare facilities, field hospitals, and helps lead our medical interventions in Gaza.

Despite a ceasefire being announced in October 2025, Dr Masoud points out that little has changed on the ground since that time.

“A year after ceasefire, the healthcare system is far from recovering. It's still under immense stress; it's still overstretched. And now the healthcare providers are even more burned out and tired and exhausted after three years of responding to [an] emergency situation that is not ending by any shape or form.”

As well as the ongoing violence and exhaustion, MSF Australia's head of programs unit Simon Eccleshall warns that humanitarian workers in Palestine are also at risk of being arrested without cause and held for indefinite periods. “This is despite the fact that medical personnel are protected and should not be punished for carrying out medical duties under international humanitarian law,” he says.

Since 7 October 2023, at least 446 Palestinian healthcare workers have been unlawfully detained by Israeli forces, while six have been reportedly killed in Israeli detention.

Despite all of these ongoing risks, our staff continue to work to the best of their ability, without fear or favour, to assist all those who need our assistance.

Please make a donation today and help MSF keep providing this care to our staff and patients in more than 70 countries around the world.
