We’re writing to you today with an urgent update on the situation in Ukraine, where overburdened hospitals are buckling under the pressure of intense fighting.

Bombing and shelling are putting the lives of patients and staff at risk. Healthcare facilities are struggling to provide adequate services and medication. Many buildings have lost water and electricity. And every day, more patients arrive with urgent medical needs.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is answering the call from strained hospitals that are overwhelmed with patients in Ukraine. And we’re hoping you will answer our call for urgent support that’s needed to save lives around the world.

In emergencies like the war in Ukraine, we rely on donors like you to fuel our work on the ground without slowing down our response in more than 70 countries around the world. Help us save lives in Ukraine and beyond with an emergency gift to MSF so we can respond at a moment’s notice.

Emergencies like the war in Ukraine don’t wait for anyone–and neither can we.

Just last month, MSF teams evacuated over 200 patients with neurological and psychiatric conditions in Kharkiv city on our medical trains. This marked these patients’ second transfer to another hospital since their original care facilities were destroyed due to shelling.

"I worked in a carriage where we had nine bedridden patients,” said MSF nurse Denys Babiy, who was on board the first train that transported patients from Kharkiv. “People were hungry, we could see their bones and ribs. They looked like they had been malnourished for a long time. It was hard to see." 

Since March of this year, we’ve medically evacuated over 1,000 injured patients and their families—made possible by steadfast supporters like you. As the war in Ukraine carries on, MSF staff will continue to provide vital care for people who need it most. But we can’t do it alone.

Step up and give today, so MSF can step up and provide for our patients. With an emergency gift to MSF, you’ll ensure those caught in crisis receive life-saving aid when they need it most.
