We have over 350 staff in Gaza and the West Bank. Almost all are Palestinian, a mix of medical, logistic and administrative professionals.

Before the siege in Gaza began, our staff there were using their skills to run Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) projects specialising in the treatment of severe burns and traumatic injuries. The team took a long-term, holistic approach, helping patients recover not only through surgical care, but also physiotherapy, occupational therapy, health education and psychosocial support.

Since the horrific attacks of 7 October, and the devastating siege that has followed, our colleagues in Gaza have been living through an unprecedented bombardment. Hospitals, ambulances, and so-called “safe zones” have come under fire. Thousands of people have been killed, including MSF colleagues and their family members. Meanwhile our teams in the West Bank are also witnessing intensifying violence there.

If you would like to send a message of goodwill to our staff in Palestine, please use the form provided. We will send these to our coordination teams, to be shared with the wider team as and when it is possible to do so.

Whilst our teams in Gaza continue to do what they can in sometimes impossible circumstances, we must be clear that this in no way meets the vast scale of the humanitarian needs there. We continue to call, in the strongest terms, for a #CeasefireNow.
