Statements & Opinion

After over a year of violent incidents both inside and outside the Médecins Sans Frontières/ Doctors Without Borders-supported Turkish Hospital in Khartoum, Sudan – including threats made against the lives of MSF staff – MSF has taken the decision to evacuate its team from the hospital. 

Fadi is the sixth MSF staff member who has been killed in Gaza since 7 October and one of 500 health workers killed by the Israeli forces during the same time according to the United Nations.

Aid agencies now fear an acceleration in deaths from starvation, disease and denied medical assistance, while land and sea entry points remain effectively shut to meaningful humanitarian assistance, most desperately fuel, and attacks in areas sheltering civilians intensify. 

Following the Israeli bombing of refugee camps in Rafah, southern Gaza, Palestine, MSF urges an immediate stop to the offensive.

Our address at the National Press Club of Australia discusses our responsibilities toward those suffering in two critical humanitarian crises of our time: the wars in Gaza and Sudan.

As thousands of Palestinians are forced to flee eastern Rafah following Israel's recent evacuation orders, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) calls for protection of civilians and the reopening of the Rafah border crossing.

Gaza’s healthcare system has been devastated, with men, women and children at increasing risk of acute malnutrition and with their physical and mental health deteriorating rapidly.

It has taken the tragic killing of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom to finally trigger the Australian Prime Minister to call out the Israeli government and demand an independent investigation into the atrocities committed by Israel.

MSF and activists launch a petition and protest outside Danaher in Washington, DC to pressure companies to reduce the price of lifesaving medical tests.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) strongly condemns the missile attack on its office in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, Ukraine, on 5 April. Following the attack, in which MSF's office was destroyed, we have suspended medical humanitarian activities in the Donetsk region temporarily, except supporting emergency care and ambulance referral services.
