Fact or Fiction: MSF has been providing medical humanitarian aid for over 50 years. True or False? Test your knowledge.

Dear Friend,

Today is World Humanitarian Day, and we want to share with you a bit more about our humanitarian work—and why you are such an important part of our global humanitarian movement.

Since 1971, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has provided lifesaving medical care to people who need it most around the world. That’s five decades of humanitarian aid in action. In 1999, MSF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for our “pioneering humanitarian work on several continents.”

This tremendous honor is one we share with our entire global movement of supporters—including our compassionate donor community.

“Humanitarian action is more than simple generosity, simple charity. It aims to build spaces of normalcy in the midst of what is profoundly abnormal.” —James Orbinski, former MSF International Council President and MSF Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, 1999

We put together this short, five-question quiz to reveal the depth of your understanding of what humanitarianism is and who humanitarians are.

In many ways, humanitarianism comes down to one thing: Individual human beings reaching out to other human beings facing extraordinarily difficult circumstances.

This World Humanitarian Day, take our quiz to help you better understand the impact humanitarians—like you—have around the world.
