“When I get older, I hope to become a surgeon, because they have helped me a lot, so now I want to help other people.” Abdul Rahman, MSF patient

Abdul Rahman, 15, is one of the few Palestinian children who has been able to evacuate Gaza for specialized care since the escalation of war last October. Earlier this year, Abdul nearly lost his leg during an Israeli airstrike. Now, he is receiving comprehensive surgery, daily physiotherapy, and mental health support at Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)’s reconstructive surgery hospital in Amman, Jordan.

Even as we all continue to grieve the enormous loss of life and continued violence in Gaza and Israel, MSF continues to care for our patients. Right now, over 700 MSF staff throughout Gaza are performing lifesaving surgeries for people injured in bombings, providing clean drinking water to people who have been forced from their homes, delivering mental health support for children, and much more.

“We will try to continue our lives on the rubble of the past. Even if it's not the way we imagined it before.” — Dr. Haya Hashem Salman, MSF doctor

Dr. Haya Hashem Salman is an MSF doctor who works at the MSF field hospital in Deir el-Balah, Gaza. Challenges getting critical medical equipment have limited the supplies our staff can use—still, that does not stop them from providing care where they can. “We try to do everything for the patients,” she said.

Your support has been integral to MSF’s ability to deliver care and remain in Gaza even as so many organizations have been forced to leave. In Gaza and in the over 70 countries where we work, we rely on individuals like you to keep us independent—so we can treat every person who needs care, regardless of their race, religion, identity, or politics.

“The goal is to support these kids so that they can love themselves and love life again, but they will need this psychotherapy for years to come.” Dr. Ahmad Mahmoud Al Salem, MSF psychiatrist

Dr. Ahmad Mahmoud Al Salem is an MSF psychiatrist in MSF’s hospital in Amman, Jordan. In Amman, he and his colleagues are providing care to children like Abdul, who have been medically evacuated from Gaza. In Gaza and Amman, MSF teams are helping people who have survived horrific, life-changing wounds or witnessed the deaths of loved ones.

Our donor community has made a profound impact on our patients in Gaza, families displaced by war in Sudan, and people affected by the escalating violence in Lebanon. Even in the face of overwhelming challenges, MSF teams will continue to provide lifesaving care in Gaza and around the world. You allow us to remain committed to our values—to bear witness and to provide care when people have nowhere else to turn. We still need your help right now.
