We’re deeply alarmed by the high rates of violence against women in and around displacement camps in eastern DRC. According to a survey conducted in April by our epidemiological and medical research arm Epicentre, more than one in 10 young women reported being raped in displacement camps in and around Goma—proving the overall frequency of physical, psychological, and sexual violence is still very high in this area. Rebecca, a young woman sheltering at a displacement camp in Goma, gives a glimpse into the hardships influencing her daily life: “Life has become complicated.”

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.

Where can Rohingya people seek safety? This weekend marks seven years after the Myanmar military launched a major campaign of violence targeting the Rohingya people. In 2024, they have found little reprieve from hardship, even after fleeing for safety. Whether caught in the crossfire of an intensifying conflict in northern Rakhine state or forced to live behind barbed wire in the Cox’s Bazar camps in Bangladesh, Rohingya people are trapped and forgotten. In northern Rakhine, access to health care is almost nonexistent. MSF teams in Bangladesh are providing care to new arrivals of Rohingya people, many of whom have injuries from gunshots and landmine explosions. Between August 5 and 17, MSF teams in the camps of Cox’s Bazar treated 83 Rohingya patients with violence-related injuries, nearly half of whom were women and children. In the camps, 1.2 million people are living behind barbed wire fences, with limited access to basic needs. https://lnkd.in/eHwaVF6K

"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

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

DISCLAIMER: Video contains graphic imagery. 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
