Story
Seconds. That’s the difference between life and death.
In the aftermath of an attack, MSF medics may need to stop life-threatening bleeding, treat a gunshot wound or care for bomb blast survivors. They need to think fast, and act fast.
Around the world, our teams are working right now to beat the clock and save lives. We are in the conflict zones that hit the headlines, and the ones that don't.
From our surgeons to our supply chains, we are the emergency experts. And you can buy us vital time.
Right now, more countries are engaged in conflict than at any other time since World War II. Healthcare systems are struggling to treat traumatic injuries, meaning people affected by war and instability make up the largest proportion of Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) patients. Our projects need funding for staff and supplies to save more lives.
What is MSF doing?
In Gaza, as hospitals shake from airstrikes and staff and patients live under siege, we work to triage and treat the severely wounded. In the vast crisis that has gripped Sudan, we’ve performed trauma surgery around the clock and cared for survivors who fled to Chad from horrific violence. In Yemen, in Haiti, in the DRC, our expert teams are responding now.
