In an alarming report published today, Médecins du Monde notes that in just a year and a half, acute malnutrition in Gaza has reached levels comparable to those seen in countries facing protracted humanitarian crises spanning several decades. The root cause: the siege imposed by Israeli authorities. Médecins du Monde calls on States to take immediate action to prevent malnutrition-related deaths.

Israeli obstructions to aid and attacks on humanitarian workers: Médecins du Monde's year in the occupied Palestinian territory

How have NGOs been able to work and deliver humanitarian aid this past year in Gaza? While the International Court of Justice has warned of a risk of genocide, and war is escalating in the West Bank and Lebanon, Médecins du Monde has released a report exposing Israeli obstructions of aid and the attacks that the organisation and its humanitarian workers have been facing for a year in the occupied Palestinian territory.

In 2023, Médecins du Monde has continued its tradition of the last forty years, offering its services in a world of ongoing emergencies and growing uncertainty: social crises, health crises, violations of fundamental rights, natural disasters, and specifically conflict in Ukraine and Gaza… In response to continuing and emerging events, MdM continues to face these challenges thanks to its structure, management and the commitment of everyone involved.

As members of Doctors of the World-Médecins du Monde (MdM), we want a world where barriers to health have been overcome and where the right to health has been achieved.
