In Gaza: an unprecedented humanitarian crisis
Last updated: July 10, 2025
The situation in Gaza has been described by our teams as "apocalyptic."
Since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a large-scale attack on Israel (and until June 2025), more than 56,156 Palestinians have been killed and more than 132,239 injured (according to the WHO). Since May 27, 2025 alone, 549 people have been killed and more than 4,066 injured.
The Gaza Strip, with a population of approximately 2.1 million, continues to face a critical risk of famine after 20 months of conflict, massive displacement, and severe restrictions on humanitarian assistance. The latest IPC analysis for the Gaza Strip indicates that nearly half a million people (or one in five) are at risk of famine.
Since the partial lifting of the siege on May 18, MSF teams have brought a limited stock of nine trucks of medical supplies into the Gaza Strip.
No hospital in the Gaza Strip is currently fully operational, according to the WHO.
As of June 17, only 17 of 36 hospitals were partially functional, according to the WHO. Regarding health infrastructure, the WHO confirmed that, as of May 22, 2025, 94% of Gaza's 36 hospitals had been damaged or destroyed. Only 12 of them are able to provide a range of different services, with the rest limited to emergency care. Large centers such as Nasser and Al-Amal in Khan Younis are severely overcrowded and at risk of collapse.
In the occupied West Bank, according to OCHA, between October 7, 2023, and June 12, 2025, 947 Palestinians, including at least 200 children, were killed, including in East Jerusalem. Among them, 141, including at least 27 children, have been killed since the beginning of 2025.
The Israeli military operation "Iron Wall" in the northern West Bank, launched on January 21, 2025, continues. Demolitions and displacement continue in Jenin, the cities of Tulkarem, and the Nur Shams camp.
Between January 1, 2024, and April 30, 2025, at least 41,272 Palestinians were displaced in the West Bank. This figure includes 35,196 people displaced during operations carried out by Israeli or Palestinian forces, 12,785 in Jenin and 22,411 in Tulkarem. In addition, 2,819 people were displaced due to the destruction of their homes during Israeli military operations, 908 due to settler violence and access restrictions, and 2,349 due to demolitions – of which 2,148 were displaced due to lack of building permits and 201 as a result of punitive or other demolitions (OCHA).
A new MSF report, This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing, documents the horrors witnessed by MSF staff at two clinics that regularly received mass influxes of casualties following violence at sites run by the GHF, an Israeli-US proxy that has militarised food distribution. Between 7 June and 24 July 2025, 1,380 casualties, including 28 dead, were received at MSF’s Al-Mawasi and Al-Attar clinics in southern Gaza, located near the GHF-run distribution sites. During those seven weeks, our teams treated 71 children for gunshot wounds, 25 of whom were under the age of 15. Faced with no alternatives to find food, starved families frequently send teenage boys into this lethal environment, as they are often the only males in the household physically able to make the journey.

Patterns of Attacks and Obstructions of Healthcare in the West Bank
The report, titled “Inflicting Harm and Denying Care – Patterns of Attacks and Obstructions of Healthcare in the West Bank,” released on February 6, 2025, documents how the Israeli military and settlers have escalated acts of extreme violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. In total, at least 870 Palestinians were killed and more than 7,100 injured between October 2023 and January 2025.

How is MSF reacting?
Our teams provide surgical support, wound care, physiotherapy, maternal and paediatric care, primary health care, immunisation and mental health services, and water distribution services. However, the enormous challenges and constraints related to supplies, sieges and evacuation orders of several hospitals mean that our activities are taking place in an increasingly restricted territory and our response is limited.
As Israeli authorities continue to impose obstacles and blockades on medical evacuations from Gaza, our teams in Amman, Jordan, have successfully evacuated 13 child patients and 11 caregivers to our reconstructive surgery hospital, where they are receiving comprehensive rehabilitation care for injuries sustained after being injured in Israeli airstrikes.
From 7 October 2023 until end-January 2024, MSF teams in Gaza have provided:
admissions de patients en milieu hospitalier
surgical interventions
Individual mental health sessions
diarrhea cases treated
Prenatal consultations
Consultations for non-communicable diseases
