In the last four weeks, Doctors Without Borders has provided essential support for the survival of the people in #Gaza.
Amid Israeli forces' destruction of the healthcare system, our teams have worked tirelessly and adapted to the lack of medical supplies due to the siege.

Gaza militarised aid plan could implicate humanitarians in Israeli war crimes: UN briefing
The UN and established NGOs are refusing to participate in an Israeli plan to take over aid distribution in Gaza, but face US pressure to join.
Taking part in Israeli plans to enforce military-controlled aid in Gaza would implicate the 🇺🇳UN in atrocity crimes and genocide risks, an internal UN briefing warns. It may also set a precedent of “total control” likely to be copied by other countries: www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news/2025/05...

CDC removes gender, equity references in public health material
Large sets of data are being scrubbed of references to transgender and LGBTQ+ people, among others, which could compromise their use in research.
“Agency [CDC] staff were also sent an email Friday directing them to contact scientific journals to pull back manuscripts that had been accepted, but not yet published, that did not comply with the executive order on gender ideology” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

18-month-old Riyad was struck by a stray bullet while he was napping in his family’s home. The medical team fought for four hours to stabilize him. The team was able to stop the bleeding however the bullet remained lodged in his chest. Riyad is one of the 314 children treated for gunshot and blast wounds in 2024.
#Sudan: Approximately 1/6 war-wounded patients treated at the Bashair Teaching Hospital in south Khartoum since January 2024 have been under the age of 15.
