Gaza 22 July: After more bloody attacks in Khan Younis, Nasser hospital in southern Gaza has once again been overwhelmed with over a hundred injured patients, according to the Ministry of Health. The hospital is under enormous strain as the killing, wounding and maiming of people continues relentlessly in southern Gaza.

"The situation at Nasser hospital is catastrophic and the flow of patients has not stopped since the morning,” says Ahmad Abu Warda, MSF medical activity manager at Nasser hospital. “Whole families are coming in: either dead or injured. We are trying to prioritise who goes to the operating theatre.”

The hospital has reached full capacity: all the beds are occupied, and patients are often forced to share beds. Our teams are reporting that the hospital is calling for people to donate blood, as the blood supply is running out.

“We see ambulances arriving every two minutes to the emergency room. There are lots of children, as well as women and many elderly people, and we saw at least one paramedic among the injured,” says Pascale Coissard, MSF emergency coordinator in Gaza.

Each influx of injured patients after strikes and fighting drains the supplies allocated for maternity, trauma, burn and other healthcare services. Our teams are trying to meet the needs, but with insufficient supplies and resources in the chaos, saving lives has become extremely difficult.

The numbers tell a heart-breaking story: nearly half of all deaths in children under five have an underlying link to malnutrition, and it prevents nearly every fourth child from growing and developing properly.

Kennedy Olela, Deputy Operational Manager at the MSF headquarters in Nairobi, describes the need for preventative measures to help reduce the mortality rates from malnutrition.

Since the beginning of the war in Sudan over a year ago, almost 680,000 people have crossed the border to seek refuge in South Sudan. Thousands of families are stuck in dire conditions, lacking food, water and shelter.

The combination of limited resources, climate change and continued inter-communal conflict leaves them with little hope of settling in South Sudan. MSF is calling for a massive scale-up of humanitarian assistance at the border and within the country.

"I have seen starvation. I never seen people be starved."
MSF psychologist Scarlett Wong shared with Mamamia what she saw in Gaza, where she offered mental health support to those witnessing the intense violence.

Scarlett spent three weeks in Gaza. The babies she met looked 'vacant'. "The worst humanitarian disaster I have ever seen."

For the estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees seeking refuge in Lebanon, accessing vital medical services is becoming increasingly difficult due to growing fears and restrictions on their movement.

Lebanon remains the country hosting the highest number of refugees per capita globally. As the country strains under its fifth year of severe economic crisis, the intolerance Syrian refugees face continues to increase.

“Fear keeps my family of 10 crammed together in the tent all day,” says Wael,* a 36-year-old Syrian father. His children stopped leaving their 4m2 metre tent to play to avoid tension with the local community.

MSF has been forced to suspend medical activities in Northern Rakhine, . We are deeply concerned for the people who have been severely impacted by the conflict. Despite the suspension, we are committed to resuming support as soon as conditions improve.

❗We are outraged and strongly condemn the killing of our colleague, Fadi Al-Wadiya, in an attack this morning in Gaza City.

The attack killed Fadi, along with five other people including three children, while he was cycling to work, near the MSF clinic where he was providing care.

Fadi was a 33-year-old physiotherapist and father of three. He joined MSF in 2018. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones. Fadi's loss marks the sixth killing of an MSF staff member in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

"Killing a healthcare worker while on his way to provide vital medical care to wounded victims of the endless massacres across Gaza is beyond shocking; it's cynical and abhorrent," says Caroline Seguin, MSF operations manager for Palestine.

This attack is yet another brutal example of the senseless killing of Palestinian civilians and healthcare workers in Gaza. We are continuing to verify the details of this horrific incident.

"Civilians are trapped and cannot leave. Their lives must be protected and they must be able to receive treatment if they need it."

Nine days since the UN Security Council called for an end to the fighting in El Fasher, Sudan, hospitals continue to be attacked. On the night of Friday 21 June, Rapid Support Forces (RSF) shelling hit the pharmacy of the MSF-supported Saudi hospital in El Fasher. A pharmacist was killed while on her shift, and the pharmacy building was damaged.

Since the war began in Sudan in 2023, more than 550,000 Sudanese have fled to eastern Chad. Most of these people who fled are women and children, as many men have been killed, detained, or disappeared in Sudan.

People have fled violent ethnic attacks, brutal violence and killings. Left as the sole providers, Sudanese women are now bearing the full responsibility of caring for their families.
