Gaza
The situation in Gaza is catastrophic. The health system has collapsed. Most of Gaza’s hospitals are out of service, as the electrical power and water have been cut off due to a lack of fuel and due to the damage from air strikes. Those that are running are continuously under attack, as are ambulances.
Doctors and nurses have been dedicated all their energy to wounded and sick in hospitals. They have witnessed patients and colleagues being injured and killed. The need of humanitarian aid is huge.
South Sudan
South Sudan is one of our biggest countries of operations, covering 13 projects nationwide, and our activities assist hundreds of thousands of people. As the needs of refugees and host communities spiked, our activities evolved over the years to respond to conflict-led displacement, famine, and disease outbreaks, providing medical treatment and carrying out vaccination campaigns, clean water, and sanitation activities.
Syria camps
Some two million people – children with their families – live in camps in northwest Syria after being displaced from their homes by the country’s 12-year-long conflict, and because of ferocious earthquake with aftershocks that hit early this year. The camps are overcrowded, and their infrastructure is basic or even non-existent. Now winter is approaching and temperatures in this region drop as low as 5 degrees centigrade, often accompanied by strong winds and heavy rains, causing flooding, and destroying the fragile tents in which people live.
MSF teams run several mobile clinics to provide basic healthcare and winter-related support to families in camps. This has significant impact on reducing diseases and improving living conditions for children and their families in need.
