In Gaza, our teams are offering surgical support, wound care, physiotherapy, maternity and paediatric care, primary health care, vaccination, and mental health services, but sieges and evacuation orders on various hospitals are pushing our activities onto an ever-smaller territory and limited response. MSF teams are also providing water distribution.

October 2023 marked a turning point for the occupied West Bank too. A major escalation of violence took place in an already-turbulent West Bank, with a significant spike in the attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers and forces. The Jenin refugee camp, already targeted by incursions by the Israeli army in the past few years, has become a major target of Israeli military operations, including air strikes, as Israeli forces seek to eliminate militants of armed groups. MSF operations in the West Bank are focused on providing emergency care, primary health care via mobile clinics, and mental health care in Hebron, Nablus and Jenin.
