The devastating consequences of #MSF’s deregistration in Palestine
"Israel’s withholding of registration from MSF and others is not only having grave consequences for humanitarian aid, but it is also a breach of Israel's obligations under international humanitarian law.
Denying medical assistance to civilians is unacceptable under any circumstances and it is appalling to use humanitarian aid as a tool of policy or collective punishment. "
"In 2025, Médecins Sans Frontières teams continued to respond to some of the world’s most urgent crises. Wars in #gaza and #ukraine dragged on, violence in #sudan escalated, millions of people were displaced amid growing barriers to migration and shrinking humanitarian support (..) Despite these challenges, our teams remained committed to providing lifesaving medical care"
Today in Labor History December 20, 1971: Doctors Without Borders was founded by French doctors and journalists in the wake of the Biafra succession. Their first mission was in support of victims of the 1972 Nicaraguan earthquake. In the mid to late 1970s, they provided aid to refugees from the Khmer Rouge. They spent 9 years (1976-1984) in Lebanon during their civil war. They’ve spent decades in Africa helping in the battles against AIDS and Ebola. Their volunteers have been attacked by soldiers, kidnapped and bombed. In 1999 they won the Nobel Peace Prize.

"Depuis qu'Israël a lancé sa campagne génocidaire à Gaza, les conséquences psychologiques sur les Palestiniens sont considérables : la santé mentale des enfants et des adultes a été gravement affectée sur tout le territoire palestinien. Témoignages."

#Jordan: On Oct. 26, four war-wounded children arrived with their caretakers to #MSF’s hospital in #Amman, after being medically evacuated from #Gaza. They are currently stable, but will need long-term rehabilitative care after sustaining severe injuries in explosions in Gaza.

#Sudan: We are deeply concerned about the situation in El Fasher. As fighting intensifies, thousands are trapped with no safe way out. The (UAE backed) Rapid Support Forces have announced that they have taken control of the city.
>> At least 740 Palestinians in #Gaza died over a period of 13 months while awaiting medical evacuation that never came, the UN has reported, as Israel denied tens of thousands of Palestinians of this crucial lifeline.
>> This death toll includes at least 137 children who were on the evacuation list and died between July 2024 and August 2025, the World Health Organization (#WHO) reported this week.
>> There are still 15,600 … awaiting medical transport, officials reported. One in four of them are children.
>> “These patients cannot wait for the healthcare system to be rebuilt. They need urgent care today,” wrote Médecins sans Frontières International President Javid Abdelmoneim in an open letter this week…
>> People with life-threatening conditions in Gaza, #Palestine, face the same impossibility of receiving lifesaving medical care today, as they did before the fragile ceasefire. The health system in #Gaza lies in ruins after two years of Israeli bombardment and deprivation. World leaders can save lives by facilitating the medical evacuations of Palestinians.
#Gaza: Doctors without Borders is deeply disappointed that Dr Mohammed Obeid, a respected orthopaedic surgeon, and long-time MSF colleague, remains detained and was not released as part of the recent #ceasefire agreement. We call for his immediate and unconditional release.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) warned on Thursday that the health situation in Gaza remains extremely critical, noting that the ceasefire has not been accompanied by the opening of crossings or the delivery of humanitarian aid.
In a statement, MSF said it has seen no improvement in its ability to bring in aid, citing the same obstacles that have blocked assistance.
Breaking | Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has suspended all medical activities in Gaza City, citing Israel’s intensifying offensive and the “unacceptable level of risk.” #MsF#GazaCity
One thing I hate particularly about our times is the efficiency of LLM-based scams. I cannot see a link or profile that is Gaza-related without doubting and it truly makes me angry.
For fuck’s sake go mug an old lady in the street. It will be more dignified that stealing from victims of a literal on going genocide.
Israeli Forces fired upon a clearly identified Médecins Sans Frontièreswater truck while it was distributing 10000L of drinking water in #GazaCity. The vehicle’s route and schedule had been communicated in advance to the Israeli authorities, as #MSF does on a daily basis. ...

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) on Thursday sharply criticized the EU for its continued failure to act decisively to stop what the organization calls "orchestrated ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, accusing the bloc of complicity in the face of deliberate mass suffering.
The MSF said it had sent an open letter to EU leaders nearly a month earlier, on June 16, urging immediate action to stop the mass atrocities.
>> European Union Foreign Ministers have once again refused to take substantial action to end the deliberate and systemic destruction of Palestinian lives in Gaza, making them complicit in the genocide that the Israeli authorities are committing.
>> While EU leaders issue misleading statements after their 15 July meeting on Gaza, and the EU High Representative Kaja Kallas claims that there are "positive signs" that aid will be delivered, Israel continues to bomb children seeking water, shoots people collecting food and continues to starve everyone else through its siege and collective punishment.
>> ... Meanwhile, as #EU leaders fail to address the siege imposed by Israel, they also lack the courage and humanity to pressure the Israeli authorities to stop the daily killing of innocent people.
>> Dozens of Palestinians were killed and hundreds more injured … as they waited for food at the newly created Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution centres in Rafah and close to the Netzarim Corridor, according to the Ministry of Health.
>> … Doctors Without Borders (#MSF) teams joined the mass casualty response in Nasser Hospital, Khan Younis.
>> Patients told MSF they were shot from all sides by drones, helicopters, boats, tanks and Israeli soldiers on the ground.
>> [Claire Manera, MSF emergency coordinator]: “Today’s events have shown once again that this new system of aid delivery is dehumanising, dangerous and severely ineffective…
>> … with the blood banks almost empty, medical staff have had to donate blood…
We need to destroy the Western colonial establishment. It finances and fuels a #genocide against CHILDREN. All their "arguments" are against the lives of Palestinians and against the demands of their population.
"MSF survey shows almost half of people killed are children #Gaza
"Doctors Without Borders (MSF) have conducted research, known as a retrospective mortality survey, that reveals the appalling death rate of Israel’s all-out war on #Gaza, especially among #children.
This survey of #MSF staff and their families is consistent with conflict-related figures provided by the Gazan Ministry of Health.
Compared to pre-7 October Ministry of Health estimates, the mortality rate was five times higher among the population surveyed. For children under five, mortality increased tenfold. For babies less than one month, the mortality rate was six times higher....""

“Doctors Without Borders received confirmation that Dr Obeid #MSF orthopedic surgeon has been detained by Israeli forces w/ several medical staff from Kamal Adwan hospital during a military operation at the hospital. We are extremely alarmed by the detention of our colleague”
