“We were unable to secure medication for my father’s chronic disease for over four months.” This is just one of the stories from over 150 families we spoke with in northeast Syria, many of whom face the same struggle to access healthcare, water, and food.

Seeking safety is not a crime.

The human cost of war goes beyond the physical. Ella Baron, an illustrator, visited Ukraine and depicted the emotional and mental trauma of  people who have experienced the war, as they recounted to her.  https://www.msf.org/battles-mind

What is obstetric fistula? ⚫ It's an injury which can occur during childbirth ⚫ It leaves women incontinent ⚫ Its effects can result in social isolation  Our teams are now treating women with the condition in Baidoa, Somalia.

In Somalia, our teams are now providing care to women with obstetric fistula - a devastating condition, following a difficult childbirth, which can leave women isolated due to incontinence. 

Our teams are working in Tawila, Sudan, where they’re seeing people who have managed to escape the atrocities happening in and around El Fasher. The little number of people arriving in Tawila is alarming. Civilians must be allowed to flee El Fasher.

Each year, 600 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Point G hospital in Mali.    🎥 Dr Chantal Gamba Félicité, our medical coordinator, explains why women’s cancer remains a major health challenge in the country.

🎨 @ellabaron.bsky.social, a renowned illustrator from the UK, visited our projects in Vinnytsia and Cherkasy, Ukraine. She spoke with patients who are receiving rehabilitative and mental health care. Through her illustrations, she shows what a camera cannot capture:

We denounce the horrendous mass atrocities and killings that have been taking place in and around El Fasher, Sudan. People must be allowed to escape El Fasher and move to safer areas:

After an earthquake destroyed boreholes and water systems in Kaylar village, Myanmar, people lost access to clean water.    🎥 A new pipeline is helping the community regain access to this essential resource.

The Ebola outbreak in Bulape, Democratic Republic of Congo, is now under control because of a collaborative response between the Ministry of Health, @WHO, communities, and our teams. We have handed over our response activities.

In the West Bank of Palestine, people, including our colleagues, must contend with movement restrictions to go about their daily lives. With so many checkpoints and gates, “life became a prison”: 

After 15 months of working with people arriving in Dodecanese, Greece, we have concluded our activities.   During this time, our teams provided:  🩺 2,000 medical consultations  🧠 280 mental health sessions

In the West Bank of Palestine, movement restrictions imposed by Israeli forces, and violence, have daily consequences on people’s lives. Two of our colleagues share what it is like to work and live between checkpoints:

We’ve finished our response to an Ebola outbreak in Bulape, Democratic Republic of Congo, having handed over our activities to the local health authorities. Read why we are proud to have been a part of the response ⬇️

Shireen is a psychologist, Shorouq is a social worker. They both work with us in the West Bank, providing support to communities living under the violence of Israeli occupation. Here are their testimonies about living and working between checkpoints ⬇️

When an Ebola outbreak was declared in early September, we arrived in Bulape, Democratic Republic of Congo, along with other partners, to respond. With the last patient discharged from the treatment centre on 19 October, we’ve handed over our activities:

🚨 Sudan: We're working in Tawila, 60 km from El Fasher, where people are fleeing horrific violence. On 28 October, 100% of children under 5 who we saw at our health post were malnourished. Our teams are hearing terrifying stories, like that of 3 siblings who arrived alone after losing their family.

On 29 October, our teams across the Gaza Strip treated severely wounded patients from attacks by Israeli forces, which caused alarming civilian casualties. We have seen injured patients in Al-Aqsa, Nasser, and Al-Shifa hospitals.

A cholera outbreak has been ongoing in South Sudan for a year. Why hasn’t the outbreak been contained? Especially since, “we know how to prevent cholera”. Ilse De Boer tackles this question, sharing her experience leading our emergency response:

We have been ordered to leave Libya by 9 November. Our expulsion comes without justification and follows an initial suspension of our activities in the country beginning in March this year. We deeply regret this decision and hope to find a positive solution:

We know how to prevent cholera. It’s not a mystery. Still, a year-long outbreak has infected 93,000 people in South Sudan, and it is yet to be contained. Ilse De Boer, our deputy medical coordinator in South Sudan, tackles the question of why:

Horror is unfolding in El Fasher, Sudan. People are seemingly trapped in the city, and @msf.org teams 60 km away are receiving malnourished people among those who have managed to escape. Civilians must be urgently protected, and safe escape routes must be provided.

The ceasefire has not ended the humanitarian emergency for two million people in Gaza.  Bassel and Nour describe how dire living conditions, repeated displacement, and lack of medical care still affect them and will continue to do so.

One year ago, a cholera outbreak was declared in South Sudan. Today, it is not yet under control. Ilse De Boer has spent this last year working against the outbreak. She shares reasons for why this preventable disease has not been contained:

We are appealing for civilians to be spared in El Fasher, the capital of Sudan’s North Darfur state, after the Rapid Support Forces announced their full take over of the city is under way. People must be allowed to flee:

📸 People wait for their consultations at a mobile clinic in the Punjab province of Pakistan. We ran mobile clinics there as part of an emergency response to devastating floods in September. In total, we provided over 2,000 consultations through these mobile clinics.

“It's utterly unacceptable.” ⬆️ This is how our colleagues describe people’s living conditions in Gaza. And now with winter coming, people’s health will be at even more risk:

We are independent, neutral and impartial. We put patients first and provide quality healthcare where it is needed.

Despite the ceasefire, people in Gaza continue to suffer because of poor living conditions. 70% of outpatient consultations at our health centres in south Gaza are related to people’s poor living conditions:

A rapid and reinforced response from local authorities, humanitarian organisations, and international partners is needed to control the spread of cholera in Democratic Republic of Congo. “We fear further outbreaks if urgent measures are not taken.”: 

People’s poor living conditions in Gaza, along with the destruction of civilian infrastructure and the health system, is creating the perfect storm for disease to spread. Without immediate improvements, more will die from preventable causes:

We’ve re-opened our wound care clinic and resumed clean water distributions in Gaza City, in the north of the Gaza Strip. Our return to Gaza City comes after an initial suspension of activities there at the end of September:

Twenty of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s 26 provinces are now affected by a cholera outbreak. Our teams have stepped up our response in 10 provinces. Read about the emergency and what can be done to stop the spread: 

“Individuals with mental health conditions deserve to be treated as persons with dignity…” This is a message from Laura Ximena, our mental health activity manager in Malakal, South Sudan. Learn about her work with the community:

📢 We are calling for countries around the world to accept Palestinian patients in need of lifesaving medical treatment. People living in Gaza with life-threatening conditions cannot wait for the health system to be rebuilt. They need medical evacuation.

More than 58,000 suspected cases of cholera have been recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the last nine months. An immediate and reinforced response is needed to contain the spread:

“Yesterday [19 October] was shocking.” Dr Morten Rostrup was working in the emergency room of Al-Aqsa hospital in Gaza on 19 October, when severely wounded patients arrived after Israeli airstrikes. He tells us more ⬇️

When Samat Nyuk began experiencing symptoms of a severe mental health condition, he was sent to prison. Today, he is back in his community and receiving care from our team in Malakal, South Sudan. Read his story and learn why comprehensive care matters:

Many world leaders will get a letter from me today, demanding overdue concrete action to save Palestinian lives. They must increase the number of medical evacuations from Gaza. Patients with life-threatening conditions cannot wait any longer:

We are deeply disappointed that Dr Mohammed Obeid, a respected surgeon, and long-time colleague, remains detained in Israel and was not released as part of the recent Gaza ceasefire agreement. We call for his immediate and unconditional release.
