From the start of the conflict in Sudan in April 2023 until June of this year, more than 600,000 Sudanese refugees have arrived in Chad, according to data from the United Nations. For the past year Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been running an emergency response in Eastern Chad to address the medical and humanitarian needs of refugees who fled Sudan after the outbreak of war. 

Bangladesh

Escalating numbers of Rohingya people with violence-related injuries have crossed the border into Bangladesh over the past week. The increase in violence indicates the worsening humanitarian crisis in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.

While in some townships in the central part of Rakhine MSF has been able to maintain a minimum level of activities, our teams there equally struggle with severe access restrictions and the consequences of violent conflict.

After nine months of relentless war, people’s access to healthcare in Gaza continues to worsen, particularly for those most vulnerable when healthcare is unavailable, such as pregnant women and children.

There is a repeated trauma of displacement for people in Gaza: for those who have managed to survive the relentless onslaught of bomb blasts, shelling and gunfire, staying alive has meant moving continually from place to place with whatever basic items they can manage to carry.

With the shutting down of European Gaza Hospital due to new evacuation orders, Nasser Hospital becomes the last comprehensive hospital remaining in south Gaza, and risks being overwhelmed.

South Sudan

Since the beginning of the war in Sudan over a year ago, almost 680,000 people have crossed the border to seek refuge in South Sudan. Thousands of families are stuck in dire conditions, lacking food, water and shelter.

Ukraine
02 Jul 2024

After years of conflict in eastern Ukraine and following the full-scale war from February 2022, many people in Ukraine have been suffering from mental health injuries. A specially trained Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) mental health promotion team is bringing relief through psychological consultations and recreational group activities.

Lebanon

For the estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees seeking refuge in Lebanon, accessing vital medical services is becoming increasingly difficult due to growing fears and restrictions on their movement. As the country strains under its fifth year of severe economic crisis, the intolerance Syrian refugees face continues to increase. 

Chad

As the rainy season begins in Chad, MSF is significantly scaling up its activities in eastern Chad to provide life-saving essentials for refugees who fled the war in Sudan. This response fills a critical gap left by UN agencies, as countless families in these camps have been living without proper shelter for over a year.
