In 2025, the number of medical personnel and patients killed in conflict zones doubled. 2024 was also a deadly year for healthcare workers, with 944 deaths recorded. Of the almost 2,000 killed in 2025, 1,620 lost their lives in Sudan. In war and conflict, international humanitarian law is meant to protect civilians, hospitals, and medical staff. Healthcare workers and people who seek care should never be targets – this is the red line that should never be crossed.
Your gift today could help provide emergency medical care where hospitals and healthcare workers are under attack. You can help uphold humanity’s red line and ensure lifesaving care reaches those who need it most.
You are the reason Médecins Sans Frontières can work in conflict zones like Sudan and Haiti, where families urgently need access to emergency care.
