Support MSF's Emergency Work in the Middle East and Around The Globe

Your gift to our General Fund today, can support our emergency medical relief efforts in the Middle East Region and across more than 70 contexts around the globe. Allowing us to be where care is needed most.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is alarmed by the dramatic escalation in conflict across the Middle East region. The escalation in violence has brought fear to the lives of millions of people, including in Lebanon, Iran and the Gulf countries. Bombing continues across multiple cities and villages, often hitting densely populated areas, and casualties are mounting. Millions of people have been forced to flee, many of whom have been displaced multiple times.

Lebanon
In Lebanon, MSF teams are working in all of the country’s nine governates, adjusting and responding to urgent needs. We are working across 15 mobile clinics providing basic healthcare, medications for non-communicable diseases, sexual and reproductive health consultations, and mental health support in seven different governorates, including Beirut. As of March 22, we’ve provided over 6,800 medical consultations.

Iran
Following the outbreak of the conflict, our teams made initial donations of medical and essential items in Iran. These included kits containing medical and wound care items for 500 patients. We also donated essential items for displaced people, including 5,000 blankets, 4,000 pillows, 15,000 feminine hygiene pads, 10,000 tubes of toothpaste, 5,000 toothbrushes, 10,000 bottles of shampoo and 10,000 units of washing powder.

In Mashhad, near the Afghan border, our teams have been providing medical and psychological consultations and screening for infectious diseases for Afghan refugees in a clinic. In Kerman province, MSF is the only medical organization providing direct healthcare services to Afghan refugees.

MSF teams are responding through emergency preparedness and response in other countries around the region. Emergency teams have been established in Lebanon, Armenia and Iraq. From Feb. 28 up until March 24, MSF has shipped 42 tons of medical supplies destined for the Middle East, including Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Yemen.

Our teams across the region – in Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and Yemen – are only able to respond because of donations from people like you.

By donating to MSF today, you will help ensure that we can deliver emergency medical care to people caught in crises around the world.

Thank you for your generosity.
