Israel´s ongoing war on Gaza has forcibly displaced over 1.9 million people, leaving families to endure winter in fragile, makeshift tents with minimal protection from the cold.

Families continue to lack proper access to essential items such as water, food, and warm shelter. Children are especially vulnerable to various health risks as temperatures are dropping.

Gaza

In GAZA

Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) teams in Nasser Hospital’s paediatric department are seeing the impact the more than 14 months of war is having on children firsthand. In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), my colleagues are treating children with respiratory infections, dehydration and premature newborns with complications.

The support of people like you enables us to respond to emergencies around the world including providing medical care and supplies to people in Gaza.

“After 14 months of war and destruction of infrastructure, most of the people in Gaza are living in tents that barely isolate the cold wind and rain.”

-- Pascale Coissard, MSF emergency coordinator in Gaza.

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

We need your help, now

All over Gaza, people are being killed and injured by relentless fighting and bombings. Israel's all-out war on the people of Gaza and its complete disregard for civilian lives must stop now.

Without urgent action, many more could die from war wounds, preventable diseases and displacement-related conditions.

You can help ensure our teams are ready to respond to emergencies around the world including providing medical care and supplies to people in Gaza, Lebanon, Haiti, Ukraine, Sudan – wherever they are needed.

Please consider making an urgent donation today. We simply could not do what we do without you.

EMERGENCY FUND

What is the emergency fund?

Raising funds for a specific purpose takes time and information, and both are often lacking when an emergency is in its early hours. This is where the MSF emergency fund plays a critical role. Set up to help us respond at a moment’s notice, it allows our teams to be where we’re needed, when we’re needed—including the situations that don’t get as much media attention or notice in a world so overwhelmed by crises.

Support from people like you this year has been critical for so many of our projects, and a gift to our emergency fund will be what makes our first responses in the new year possible.

Please donate today to help us prepare for the crises ahead.

"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"

Dr James Orbinski, Nobel Peace Prize speech

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

In 1991, 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.

HOW IS YOUR DONATION SPENT?

We have an immense respect for our supporters and the use of Médecins Sans Frontières funds are tightly controlled and the audited financial reports are publicly available.

Your donation to MSF helps to provide medical aid to people affected by crisis, disasters and war in places like Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Papua New Guinea, Yemen and beyond.

Every dollar we receive comes from individuals like you. It’s only with this support that we can reach and care for people living in extreme circumstances – no matter who they are, no matter where they are.

Thanks to the generous support of people like you, our teams on the ground can provide urgent medical care to hundreds of thousands of people every day.
