Friend, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams in Haiti are witnessing a surge in violence as clashes between armed groups have intensified over recent weeks. Civilians are trapped under the constant threat of crossfire, scores of people are being displaced, and humanitarian needs are increasing each day. But amid the violence and mounting needs, we’re continuing to respond even as other organizations have been forced to leave.

Our dedicated staff are reaching people most affected by this crisis and meeting the moment to:

This urgent work is making a real difference in the lives of our patients—and it’s possible because of you.

With the help of supporters like you, MSF is increasing medical activities to care for people facing crises in Haiti and beyond. Add your name to reaffirm that all patients should be able to seek medical care without the fear of violence, and that medical care must be protected.
 

When crises strike, we refuse to turn away. MSF is one of the few humanitarian organizations that remain on the ground in Haiti—and the risk for our teams and patients remains high. In December, repeated threats and attacks against MSF’s staff and ambulances briefly forced us to suspend medical activities in Port-au-Prince, where 85 percent of the city is controlled by armed groups. After constructive dialogue with key stakeholders and involvement by the authorities to ensure respect for our teams and our medical mission, we have since resumed activities to provide desperately needed care.

While the future is uncertain in Haiti, we are committed to  reaching people who are searching for essential medical care. MSF teams are resilient, but we need your help.

Please add your name if you agree health care and patients should never be a target of violence.
 
Thank you for being with us,
