Gaza-Israel war
Learn how MSF teams are responding to the Hamas-Israel war in Gaza, Palestine.

Attacks on medical care
Attacks against medical facilities and health workers, whether deliberate or indiscriminate, are part of generalised violence and atrocities committed against civilians in armed conflict. They deprive populations of health services, often when they need them the most.

Conflict in Sudan

Mediterranean migration
Every year, thousands of people fleeing war, persecution and poverty at home attempt the treacherous journey across the Mediterranean. Countless lives are lost on the way.

Central American migration
An estimated 500,000 people a year flee violence and poverty in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, heading north through Mexico to find safety. The levels of violence in the region are comparable to that of war zones MSF has worked in for decades.

Rohingya refugee crisis
Legally stateless, with very limited options or rights in any country where they have sought refuge, the Rohingya are extremely vulnerable.
