Our Doctors Are Racing Against the Clock In Lebanon, Gaza and other emergencies around the world

In moments of crisis, when lives hang in the balance and hope feels scarce, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) stands as a beacon of compassion and care. Our Emergency Fund is the heartbeat of our ability to respond swiftly and effectively to the most dire situations around the world, ensuring that urgent medical aid reaches those who need it most, when they need it most.

One such crisis that has demanded our unwavering presence and dedication is the ongoing humanitarian emergency in Gaza. Since its inception, MSF teams have been on the ground, tirelessly providing lifesaving medical care to those affected by conflict and tragedy. In the midst of this dire situation, our teams are offering crucial medical services, including surgical care, wound and burn treatment, postpartum care, physiotherapy, mental health support, vaccinations, and outpatient consultations.

Lebanon is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, with thousands of families displaced following heavy airstrikes. Our teams are providing urgent medical care, water, and essential supplies like blankets and hygiene kits to those in desperate need. But with shelters overwhelmed and the number of displaced people rising, the situation is becoming increasingly dire. We urgently need your support to continue our lifesaving work.

As we continue our efforts in Gaza and Lebanon, we are also turning our attention to another critical situation that demands urgent support from our emergency fund: the crisis in Sudan. It has been 15 months since the war in Sudan broke out. The consequences of over a year of full-blown conflict on the health and wellbeing of people in Sudan are disastrous. The population has faced horrendous levels of violence, succumbing to widespread fighting and surviving repeated attacks, abuse, and exploitation.
