"The act of humanitarianism comes down to one thing: Individual human beings reaching out to those who find themselves in the most difficult of circumstances. They reach out one bandage at a time, one suture at a time, one vaccination at a time." Honoring #WorldHumanitarianDay

Info
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is the world's leading independent international medical relief organization, implementing and managing medical projects in close to 72 countries worldwide and as a worldwide movement of 25 associations, 24 sections, 17 offices and 6 operational entities. Our work focuses on emergency medical and humanitarian relief. We are guided by the principles of independence, neutrality and impartiality, as described in the MSF Charter. We implement our medical programs in areas where no health or sanitary systems exist, or where health structures are overwhelmed by the needs of populations. For 50 years, we have been providing medical assistance to people affected by armed conflicts, natural disasters, disease epidemics, malnutrition crises and other emergencies. We offer medical and humanitarian assistance to people based on their needs - irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation. We observe neutrality in situations of conflict, and impartiality in the name of medical ethics. To ensure our independence, the majority of our funding is provided by private donations from members of the public. Additional funding may come from foundations, governments and international institutions.

Since April, the rise of anti-refugee sentiment in Lebanon has fueled raids and security measures targeted at unregistered people in the country. For many Syrian refugees seeking health care at MSF clinics in Baalbek-Hermel governorate, the decision to seek medical help is riddled with fear of potential consequences. Our teams have been providing free high-quality medical services northeastern Lebanon for over a decade, but we’re seeing the numbers of missed medical appointments soar as fear among the refugee community intensifies. https://lnkd.in/eUdvwrWi

After spending two months in Gaza, MSF medical team leader Dr. Javid Abdelmoneim spoke with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour about the top diagnoses our teams are seeing in the facilities we’re supporting ⤵ Skin infections, scabies infestation, eye infections, and diarrhea—all related to water and sanitation, clearly showing that hygiene, sanitation, and clean water are inaccessible or extremely limited. 📺 Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/ecPtQUbb

Do you know what’s happening right now in DR Congo? ⬇ A resurgence of violence in eastern DRC is forcing millions of people to flee their homes and seek shelter in already overcrowded camps, where access to basic needs is severely limited compared to the enormous needs. Currently, 7.2 million people are displaced—a record high for the country—and an estimated 75% of the population live on less than $2.15 a day—making the DRC one of the poorest countries in the world. The conflict in the east has also exacerbated the health threats people face, causing direct harm to civilians through war-related injuries, increasing the risk of disease outbreaks, and making health care more difficult to access.

In Central African Republic (CAR), there are about six doctors for every 100,000 people—which is one of the lowest rates of health care coverage in the world. Since 2024, our teams have been facilitating essential health care access to remote communities in Bambari, a town in the Oaka region where violence is causing the collapse of health facilities and health care. Now, MSF supported health centers in CAR are facing serious shortages of medicines, vaccines, and essential equipment. We need more organizations to step up and support remote communities.

Measles is one of the MOST contagious diseases in the world and requires vaccination to stop the spread. Millions of children get measles each year and many of them die from it. That’s because measles spreads like wildfire, attacking the body and overwhelming a person’s natural defenses. See how we’re responding to the most recent measles outbreak in DR Congo ⤵ https://lnkd.in/dQAYHxc2
