Overview
- Israel said it will terminate Doctors Without Borders’ Gaza activities on March 1 after the group declined to submit a list of its Palestinian employees and as officials alleged links to militant groups.
- MSF says it will continue operating "as long as we can," but it has been unable to bring in international staff since early January and its current team is due to depart in late February without replacements.
- The organisation reports that medical supply imports are currently not permitted, though limited stocks in its pharmacies are sustaining reduced services for now.
- MSF warns that a forced exit would leave a major gap in care, noting it provides at least 20% of Gaza’s hospital beds, runs around 20 health centres, and handled hundreds of thousands of consultations in 2025.
- The charity partly suspended work at Nasser Hospital in January over the presence of armed men on the compound and says it awaits local assurances to maintain the facility’s neutrality.
