Gaza: An unprecedented humanitarian crisis
Since the war began on 7 October 2023 when Hamas launched a large-scale attack on Israel, more than 44,700 people have been killed, including 13,319 children and more than 106,000 injured1. More than 12,000 patients are awaiting medical evacuation2.
At least 3563 aid workers, the vast majority Palestinians, have been killed in Gaza since the war began. Nearly 1,447 health workers in Gaza have been killed since October 2023.
Of Gaza’s 36 hospitals, 17 remain partially functional, 504 attacks have hit health facilities, and 459 attacks have impacted medical transports. Food, water, and medicine are scarce. People are struggling to survive in extremely difficult conditions. The Israeli offensive on Rafah and the closure of the Rafah crossing make the delivery of humanitarian aid and the provision of medical care almost impossible.
For the past year, the Israeli government, Hamas and international leaders have failed catastrophically to reach an agreement and impose a lasting ceasefire in Gaza. MSF calls for an end to the killings and suffering of the people of Gaza: this can only be achieved with an immediate and lasting ceasefire and an end to the blockade of Gaza. Tens of thousands of people have been killed and injured. Today, no place is safe in Gaza.
Depuis plus d'un an, le gouvernement israélien, le Hamas et les dirigeants internationaux ont échoué de manière catastrophique à s’entendre et à imposer un cessez-le-feu durable à Gaza.
MSF appelle à la fin des massacres et des souffrances de la population de Gaza : cela n’est possible qu’avec un cessez-le-feu immédiat et durable et la fin du blocus de Gaza. Des dizaines de milliers de personnes ont été tuées et blessées. Aujourd'hui, aucun endroit n'est sûr à Gaza.

How is MSF responding?
From 7 October 2023 until 15 July, MSF teams in Gaza provided :
Notre personnel à Gaza
Depuis le début de la guerre, 8 membres du personnel de MSF ont été tués à Gaza.

Personnel recruté localement
Comment MSF réagit-elle ?
Nos équipes offrent un soutien chirurgical, des soins aux plaies, de la physiothérapie, des soins maternels et pédiatriques, des soins de santé primaires, des services de vaccination et de santé mentale, ainsi que des services de distribution d'eau. Cependant, les défis et les contraintes énormes liés à l'approvisionnement, aux sièges et aux ordres d'évacuation de plusieurs hôpitaux font que nos activités se déroulent sur un territoire de plus en plus restreint et que notre réponse est limitée.
Depuis le 7 octobre 2023 et jusqu'au 10 décembre 2024, les équipes de MSF à Gaza ont fourni :
inpatients admitted
surgical interventions
Individual mental health sessions
diarrhea cases treated
Prenatal consultations
Consultations for non-communicable diseases

Testimonies from our teams on the ground: what a ceasefire means for the people of Gaza
For nearly a year, Israel has been engaged in a veritable massacre in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. Since the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which left up to 1,200 dead and 250 hostages, Israeli forces have waged an all-out war against the population of the Gaza Strip, killing more than 41,500 people and injuring more than 96,000. The population has been repeatedly displaced and forced into ever-smaller areas under bombardment and in increasingly inhumane conditions.
Timeline of the attacks against healthcare services
Gaza before and after 7 October
This documentary was filmed in May 2023. It illustrates some of the challenges that existed prior to the full-scale war that began on 7 October. However, it also illustrates the fact that prior to October, Gaza had a robust and functional healthcare system, including advanced surgical care, research and antimicrobial resistance management.
Today, that healthcare system no longer exists, having been systematically dismantled by bombardments, fighting, murders, abuses and arrests of healthcare professionals and patients.
