Conflict in Sudan
Healthcare needs high in Khartoum, scale-up urgently needed
Over the past two years, MSF has had to suspend activities several times. In 2023, a ban on the transport of surgical supplies to Khartoum forced a stop to all surgical activities – including caesarean sections and trauma care – for several months. In November and December 2024, violent incidents,including the killing of a patient in the hospital, led MSF to suspend temporarily. When armed men again entered the hospital in January 2025, MSF made the difficult decision to suspend all activity at the hospital. Article - 9 May 2025

South Sudan, Old Fangak: “I didn't think that this hospital was going to be bombed”
I am completely heartbroken by what has happened. The hospital had been there for more than 10 year sand was a lifeline to over 100,000 people in the area. Hospitals should never be the targets and I utterly condemn this bombing. It was a 35-bed hospital that had an outpatient department, inpatient wards,maternity – and we were able to refer severe cases to higher level facilities. Now, there is nothing left.

Haiti: MSF trauma hospital in Port-au-Prince nears its limits
Having already increased its capacity by half, MSF's Tabarre hospital is under great pressure. With tensions high since February, the hospital is strained by the growing number of seriously injured people requiring treatment. Although the number of trauma beds is officially 50, the hospital regularly has over 70 trauma patients. Beyond the 75-patient limit, it will be virtually impossible to accept new cases.
