Doctors w/o Borders

It's more important than ever to stay informed about humanitarian emergencies and how you can help. We're committed to sharing what our teams on the ground are seeing as they respond to crises in more than 70 countries around the world. Here's where you can find us on social ⤵️

MSF denounces restrictions on humanitarian access that the government of South Sudan has imposed exclusively in parts of the opposition-held areas of Jonglei state. The worsening humanitarian crisis in South Sudan needs urgent international prioritization. doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/south-s…

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) will not share a list of its Palestinian and international staff with Israeli authorities as part of the registration process to work in Gaza and the West Bank. This decision comes after many months of unsuccessful engagement with Israeli authorities and in the absence of assurances of the safety of our staff and the independent management of our operations. doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/msf-wil…

Israel has knowingly given MSF and our Palestinian colleagues an impossible choice: either we provide staff information or abandon hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who need vital medical care. To continue providing aid in Gaza and the West Bank, MSF has informed Israeli authorities that we are prepared to share a defined list of Palestinian staff and international staff names, subject to clear parameters with staff safety at the core. This is an exceptional measure. This follows extensive discussions with our Palestinian colleagues and would only be carried out with the express agreement of the individuals concerned. Our priority remains the safety of our staff while continuing to provide essential healthcare to those in dire need: msf.org/msf-statement-…

Many of the complications that women face during pregnancy and childbirth are preventable. Hear from our colleagues in Nigeria, CAR, and Bangladesh on their work to reduce the delays and barriers to care that put pregnant women’s lives at risk: msf.org/shared-challen…

"This is about the manipulation and the instrumentalization of humanitarian assistance." As Israel orders @MSF to stop operating in Gaza, its head @Chris_lockyear tells me they're seeing "a propaganda campaign against humanitarian organizations... putting our staff and our activities in acute danger."

I’m in New York, ready to brief the UN Security Council about the staggering levels of violence that my @MSF colleagues are witnessing in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Tune in live for my speech at 10am EST/ 4pm CET 👇 webtv.un.org/en/asset/k12/k…

At the global climate summit in Brazil, we're calling for local and Indigenous voices to be heard: #COP30 must address the health needs of communities affected by the climate emergency. doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/cop30-m…

People continue to attempt to flee El Fasher, with 300 people arriving in Tawila, North Darfur, yesterday. @MSF reiterates its calls for the RSF to allow more people to flee safely amid reports of people remaining stranded and held for ransom around El Fasher. MSF medical teams report extremely high levels of malnutrition among children and adults. Since 26 October MSF has provided medical care to over 1,300 people in a hospital and health post in Tawila, where MSF teams are also conducting assessments of the most pressing humanitarian needs among newly displaced people. Our patients have experienced or witnessed disturbing violence. In MSF facilities, we are seeing extremely high levels of malnutrition, primarily among children under five and pregnant women; gunshot wounds; fractures; and other injuries consistent with beatings and torture. The violence has had a huge impact on mental health. There is also a severe lack of basic essential services, such as water, food and shelter inside the Tawila’s camps where people have gathered. MSF works in eight states in Sudan providing medical care to anyone who needs it regardless of race, religion of political affiliation.

We denounce the horrendous mass atrocities and killings, both indiscriminate and ethnically-targeted, that have culminated this week in and around El Fasher, Sudan. msf.org/urgent-appeal-…

"At the entrance of Tawila, we have set up a health post to assist people arriving from El Fasher. We screen all children under 5, on October 27th, 100% were malnourished, either severely or moderately. Three siblings arrived alone after losing their entire family.” Giulia Chiopris, @MSF Paediatrician in Tawila, North Darfur #KeepEyesOnSudan  #Sudan

One of the worst cholera outbreaks in a decade is spreading across DR Congo, but the health care system remains unequipped to respond to and slow down an outbreak of this scale. A swiftly coordinated international humanitarian response is needed to contain the spread of the disease. bit.ly/3J96koD

There is still time to prevent nearly $10 million dollars’ worth of contraceptives from being incinerated. We continue to call on all parties involved to do everything in their power to prevent lifesaving medical supplies like these from being destroyed. nytimes.com/2025/09/12/wor…

Ebola in DR Congo: What we know ⬇️ National health authorities in DR Congo’s Kasaï province have confirmed an Ebola outbreak, with more than 20 cases reported and 16 deaths. Several health workers are among the victims. This marks the 16th Ebola outbreak in DRC since the virus was first identified in the country in 1976. Read more about MSF’s rapid and coordinated response to the outbreak here: doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/ebola-o…

Today marks a critical milestone on the path towards increasing access to #diabetes treatment: ✔️ Rapid-acting insulin analogues and GLP-1 agonists have been added to the @who Model List of Essential Medicines (EML).

#TalkAboutSudan: This hospital near the front line in Sudan has been crucial in ensuring care in a warzone. Since the war began in April 2023, Al Nao Hospital in Omdurman, Khartoum state, has become a humanitarian anchor for thousands of people. Here’s what it takes for staff to keep it operating at full capacity despite extreme challenges: doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/hospita…

#TalkAboutSudan - Getting essential medical supplies into Sudan is getting even more difficult. The process can take months— a major challenge when the need is so high and a swift response is necessary, further complicated by drone attacks at key infrastructure points. Our teams are responding to the cholera outbreak in the capital, Khartoum, and providing care across Sudan for malnutrition, measles, and emergency response. Hear from MSF staff members working to get supplies into the country: Authorities must fast-track humanitarian supplies into Sudan. Interviews filmed in June 2025.

On this #WorldHumanitarianDay we honor our staff, supporters, and colleagues around the world—and everyone who believes in our shared humanity. To be a humanitarian means to help alleviate the suffering of people who find themselves in the most difficult circumstances.

📍South Darfur, Sudan: The cholera treatment centers MSF is supporting are overwhelmed. A large-scale vaccination campaign in needed immediately. ⬇️ Action must be taken NOW to save lives.

This disturbing trend of targeted violence on health care and aid workers must stop. Aid workers must have safe and unobstructed access to the populations they serve. doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/south-s…

📍South Sudan: MSF has suspended activities in Yei River and Morobo counties following the abduction of an MSF staff member. While our colleague was released hours later, this abduction happened days after a health ministry staff member was abducted from an MSF ambulance.
