An agreement was announced for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages. Médecins du Monde welcomes this development after 15 months of massacres inflicted upon the Palestinian people. We reiterate our call for a permanent ceasefire, a crucial condition for the large-scale delivery of humanitarian aid and the establishment of lasting peace.

Yemen has suffered several crises in recent decades, including civil wars, regional conflicts and high levels of political instability. The ongoing conflict in Yemen since 2014 is one of the main causes of the humanitarian crisis in the country.

The Genocide Convention does not simply condemn genocide; it obligates states to act, to prevent, and to protect. It places a legal and moral duty on governments to identify and respond to the risk of genocide wherever it arises.

We, the undersigned organisations, appeal to all UN member states to secure an immediate ceasefire across Gaza, Lebanon, Israel and the region, and to end the impunity that has allowed atrocities by Israeli forces against civilians to continue and escalate. Without accountability, there will be no red lines and no rock bottom.

Israeli obstructions to aid and attacks on humanitarian workers: Médecins du Monde's year in the occupied Palestinian territory

Médecins du Monde (MdM) and Mehad urgently warn that funding cuts for Syria risk forcing humanitarian actors to choose between life-saving interventions and shutting down essential health programmes.

How Israeli military barriers impose a stranglehold on palestinian village acess to healthcare.

The undersigned NGOs urgently call on all permanent and elected members of the UN Security Council to enforce the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) orders regarding Israel's actions in Rafah, Gaza. Immediate action is required to uphold international law and ensure the Government of Israel meets its obligations as mandated by the ICJ.

Despite repeated calls on Israel from heads of state, UN officials and humanitarian NGOs to refrain from expanding its ground offensive to Rafah, Israeli troops entered the governorate on May 7.

A week since the UN Security Council passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, and days since the International Court of Justice issued additional provisional measures in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, States must act urgently to ensure its enforcement and prevent atrocity crimes in Rafah as attacks intensify, warn 13 humanitarian and human rights organizations.
