In Gaza, MSF continues to treat an alarming number of patients with severe facial burns in our clinic in Gaza City. Among the most vulnerable are children, who make up 85 per cent of our current cohort of 88 active patients in the Gaza City clinic.   To prevent permanent disfigurement and disability, patients require specialised pressure therapy masks. Since 2020, MSF has been the only provider of 3D-printed physiotherapy masks in Gaza.   These masks apply consistent pressure to healing burns, preventing hypertrophic scarring and contractures that can impair breathing, movement, and facial function.   But since the Israeli authorities revoked the registration of MSF to work in Palestine, along with 37 other NGOs, on 3 December, 2025, we've been unable to get new supplies into Gaza. We are running out of filament, the essential material needed to create each customised mask.   At the same time, only two functioning 3D scanners remain in the entire Strip. Spare parts for printers are also blocked. We urge all relevant authorities to take immediate action to allow the delivery of essential medical supplies, equipment and spare parts into Gaza.

Following the indiscriminate Israeli airstrike in a residential neighborhood in Beirut, Lebanon, yesterday, five people were killed, including a 15-year-old girl and two Sudanese migrants, while 52 people, including 8 children, were wounded, according to Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health.    “A man arrived with severe bleeding from his head, panicked, searching for his young child who was also injured. Only after learning his son was safe did he allow doctors to tend to him —then we realised he had lost his ear,” says Dr. Luna Hammad, MSF medical coordinator, who was part of an MSF team at Rafik Hariri Public Hospital, supporting with the emergency.    These are not isolated incidents. Yesterday alone, 39 people were killed in Israeli attacks across Lebanon, bringing the death toll in Lebanon since 2 March to 1,461, according to official sources.

Lebanon - Around 2pm Sunday, Israeli forces struck a densely populated residential area in Beirut, only meters from Rafik Hariri Public Hospital, where MSF is supporting with an ER doctor. A mass-casualty influx followed: people bleeding, some carried on shoulders. In the first hour, 4 were killed and nearly 40 injured; more casualties are feared as rubble is cleared. “We are seeing elderly people and adolescents arriving with critical injuries to the head, chest and abdomen, including shrapnel wounds,” says Dr. Luna Hammad, MSF Medical Coordinator, from the ER at Rafik Hariri Public Hospital. “When strikes hit crowded residential areas without warning, the consequences are severe: both in human casualties and in hospitals’ capacity to respond.” MSF condemns this attack on civilians in a highly populated area and calls for the protection of civilians and health facilities. Strikes this close to a hospital spread fear and can stop people from seeking lifesaving care. MSF is donating a mass-casualty kit and will continue supporting hospitals with medical expertise and essential medical and non-medical supplies. Civilians cannot be collateral damage.

Our teams in Gaza, Palestine, had to use nonsterile gauze during the full blockade from August–September 2025.  Now, our colleagues warn they're close to that point again, as Israeli entry restrictions on medical supplies place immense strain on our teams. msf.org/gaza-israeli-e…

Seeking safety is not a crime.

After suffering sexual violence, people need timely care. And for our team in Mexico, a key aspect of timely care is "kits for survivors".  🎥 Dr Mercedes Alarcón shows us what each kit contains.

In Tine, a border city in Chad, we are collaborating with the Ministry of Health to treat people who have been injured in drone strikes that continue to hit civilian areas along the Chad–Sudan border. msf.org/chad-tine-two-…

We haven't been able to bring any new equipment into Gaza since the beginning of this year, as Israeli authorities block aid from entering. We're using equipment we have used for a long time, meaning it can malfunction and severely impact our patients' recovery. msf.org/gaza-israeli-e…

🎥 In Tyre, Lebanon, we've started supporting hospitals providing care to injured and displaced people. Since early March, the Israeli army has issued blanket evacuation orders across southern Lebanon, including for the city of Tyre.

We haven't been able to bring any supplies into Gaza, Palestine, since 1 January 2026, because Israeli authorities are blocking aid. Read from our medical adviser in Gaza about how this is affecting operations in our hospitals and clinics: msf.org/gaza-israeli-e…
