After more than 15 months of war, Gaza has been left in ruins and the humanitarian needs more dire than ever. 

Since the start of the war in October 2023, more than 48,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, more than 111,000 wounded, and thousands are estimated to be buried under the wreckage. Over 1.9 million people—90 percent of the entire population—have been forcibly displaced, often many times. Water and food are still severely limited, essential supplies like fuel and electricity are scant, and as the threat of disease and starvation continues, lifesaving health care remains inaccessible. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are witnessing firsthand how this war has turned Gaza's chronic humanitarian crisis into a catastrophe.
