Since the escalation in Ukraine in February 2022, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are estimated to have been killed, plus more than 11,000 civilians — including 591 children—and more than 27,000 wounded. A total of 1,640 medical facilities, needed more than ever, have been damaged or destroyed.

Gaza has become a mass grave.

As Israeli forces resume and expand their military offensive on the Gaza strip, the lives of those living there are once again being systematically destroyed. Forced displacement of Palestinians, deliberate blocking of essential aid, and the recent series of deadly attacks on humanitarian and medical workers have shown a blatant disregard for human life.

There is nowhere safe in Gaza for Palestinians or those trying to help them. Insecurity and critical supply shortages are leaving people with few, if any, options for accessing care.

“Humanitarians have been forced to watch people suffer and die while carrying the impossible burden of providing relief with depleted supplies, all while facing the same life-threatening conditions themselves.”

Millions in Sudan are enduring famine and starvation.

As Sudan enters its third year of war, more than 30 million people—equivalent to the populations of both Australia and New Zealand combined—need urgent humanitarian assistance. Both sides of the conflict have laid siege to towns, destroyed vital infrastructure, and blocked humanitarian aid.

In addition to the devastating injuries from violent attacks, widespread starvation is taking hold, with Sudan the only place in the world to have famine declared in multiple locations. Clinics have been looted and destroyed, medicines stolen, and healthcare workers have been assaulted, threatened, or killed.

“The warring parties are not only failing to protect civilians—they are actively compounding their suffering. Wherever you look in Sudan you will find needs—overwhelming, urgent, and unmet.”

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Even in conflict there are internationally agreed-upon rules: protect civilians, protect healthcare workers, protect healthcare facilities. And yet, as these conflicts escalate, we have seen the complete disregard for human life on a scale that is difficult to comprehend. These attacks must stop—civilians are not targets.

Please consider making a donation today to help us continue this critical work—we can’t do this without you.

"The act of humanitarianism comes down to one thing: individual human beings reaching out to those others who find themselves in the most difficult circumstances. And they reach out one bandage at a time, one suture at a time, one vaccination at a time. Humanitarian responsibility has no frontiers"

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

In 1999, we were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The judges chose MSF “in recognition of the organisation’s pioneering humanitarian work on several continents” and to honour our medical staff, who have worked in more than 80 countries and treated tens of millions of people.

The proceeds from the prize were used to set up a Neglected Disease Fund, designed to support pilot projects for the clinical development, production, procurement and distribution of treatments for neglected diseases, such as Chagas, sleeping sickness and malaria.
