A boy’s courage – trust, struggle and survival in the face of HIV

Sameer* is a 16-year-old boy from Bihar. At 11, Sameer had already lost both parents to HIV and was losing faith that medicine could save him until a team of doctors and counsellors at MSF showed him that survival was not just about taking pills, but about finding reasons to hope.

Palestine: Israel uses water as a weapon of collective punishment against Palestinians in Gaza

Israeli authorities have used access to water as a weapon against Palestinians, systematically depriving people in Gaza of water in a campaign of collective punishment, according to a report released by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). MSF urges the Israeli authorities to immediately restore water for people at the required levels in Gaza. Israel’s allies must use their leverage to pressure Israel to stop impeding humanitarian access, including water infrastructure needs.

Sudan: Three Years of War Have Shattered Lifelines

As Sudan marks the third year of a devastating war, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) condemns the unleashed violence, widespread impunity and constrained humanitarian access amid the collapse of the health system. The confrontation between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), along with the allied groups of both parties, has evolved into a systemic dismantling of the essential services people rely on— including healthcare, protection, food security, and basic safety.

Yemen: Children Cannot Wait- Funding Cuts Worsen the Paediatric Care Crisis

In Hajjah and Hudaydah governates, northern Yemen, shrinking humanitarian funding and withdrawal of many actors from northern areas of the country is leading to the closure or reduction of health services, leaving families with fewer options for care. As nearby facilities become less available, parents are increasingly travelling longer distances to reach hospitals supported by Médecins Sans Frontières, often only arriving when their children’s conditions have already become critical.
