Friend,
“The pediatric department is overcrowded with sick children,” says Dr. Mohammad Abu Tayyem, a Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) pediatrician. “And the figures continue to rise.”
Right now, MSF teams are treating an overwhelming number of children and infants for infectious diseases, respiratory diseases, and skin diseases at Nasser Hospital in Gaza after more than a year of relentless violence and war.
Dr. Abu Tayyem’s team helps to treat over 300 children at Nasser Hospital every day who are struggling with severe health issues. MSF is responding to these growing needs by supporting the pediatric emergency room, as well as the pediatric and newborn intensive care units. As colder temperatures set in, the most vulnerable in Gaza, especially children and newborns, are facing ever-increasing medical needs.
MSF teams are working around the clock to save lives in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, and in more than 70 countries around the world. Until December 31, every dollar you give will be TRIPLED, meaning your impact will go three times as far.

Between June and October 2024 alone, 3,421 babies and children under five years old were treated by MSF at the inpatient pediatric ward of Nasser Hospital. Since October 2023, our teams have admitted over 17,000 patients to our hospitals and health centers, helped deliver over 6,000 babies, and provided over 9,200 lifesaving surgeries.
Help us respond to the growing medical and humanitarian needs in Gaza and more than 70 countries around the world. Rush in your triple-matched year-end gift when it can have 3X the impact for people who need it most.
Thank you for being a lifeline for our patients in this critical moment.

P.S. If your gift and our email have crossed paths, we sincerely thank you for your generosity!

All gifts given, up to $1,000,000, will be TRIPLED through midnight on December 31—thanks to a leading group of donors. Gifts received after the match has been met will not be matched but will be used where needed most.
