Additional Information / Shotlist In 2017, the three MSF´s burns and trauma centres in the Gaza Strip treated more than 7,100 patients (mostly children, who represent half of the patients). The majority of patients are admitted following burns, mostly as a result of domestic accidents. For this reason, MSF conducts three activities in parallel in the region: cover cares for patients following burns or physical injuries in its clinics, a program of plastic reconstructive surgery for patients with a need of specific intervention following burn, trauma or congenital malformation, and burn awareness sessions (in schools, kindergartens, women associations, electrical shops and malls, as well as on TV and radio) to prevent the risks of burn at its source, giving recommendations on precautions and first aids.
