In the midst of a catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza affecting more than 2 million Palestinians, the supplies that have been allowed to enter Gaza so far are grossly inadequate compared to the massive needs. Doctors Without Borders is calling for an immediate and sustained ceasefire to save lives and restore the flow of humanitarian aid. Since the Israeli government began carrying out military operations in Rafah on February 9, the situation in Gaza has escalated to a new level of emergency. Now, about 1.5 million people—many living in tents and makeshift shelters—face a dramatic escalation in this ongoing war.
Medicine, medical equipment, food, clean water, and fuel are all essential and should be accessible to people throughout Gaza. Fuel is urgently needed to power hospitals and ensure that water can be treated and made safe to drink.
To provide this urgently needed humanitarian aid, Doctors Without Borders is calling on parties to the conflict to ensure safe passage of aid and an immediate, sustained ceasefire. Join us now in calling for an end to the indiscriminate violence and restore the flow of humanitarian aid and save lives.
