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.

Over 200 non-profits call for shutting down US-backed Israeli supply distribution scheme in Gaza
Amidst severe hunger and famine-like conditions, many families tell us they are now too weak to compete for food rations. Those who do manage to obtain food often return with only a few basic items - nearly impossible to prepare without clean water or fuel to cook with. Fuel is nearly depleted, bringing critical lifesaving services – including bakeries, water systems, ambulances, and hospitals – to a standstill. Families are sheltering under plastic sheets, operating makeshift kitchens amid the rubble, without fuel, clean water, sanitation, or electricity.Article - 3 Jul 2025
