Mozambique: Rise of violence is increasingly compromising access to healthcare in Cabo Delgado
Macomia, a major town in central Cabo Delgado, was attacked by a non-state armed group in May 2024, forcing MSF, as well as other humanitarian organizations, to stop or suspend activities. We were gradually able to resume operations in April 2025. More than a year after the attack, only one health facility is operational in the district, compared to the seven health centers that were functional before. Article - 17 Jul 2025

Gaza: Acute malnutrition reaches all-time high in two MSF facilities
Before October 2023, Gaza was heavily reliant on the entry of goods and supplies from outside, with an average of 500 trucks entering the Strip every day. Since 2 March, not even 500 trucks have entered in total. With border crossings for aid frequently closed or operating under heavy limitations, and with local food production nearly impossible due to ongoing hostilities and destruction, markets are either empty, or the available food is unaffordable for most.

Afghan refugees in Pakistan fear seeking medical care
MSF teams in Balochistan say men are now often too afraid of being harassed or arrested at checkpoints to accompany their female relatives to health facilities. This forces Afghan women to choose between breaching the deep-seated cultural requirement of being escorted by a mahram (a male relative) or, more often, to forgo critical healthcare altogether.
