Palestine: MSF has resumed activities in Gaza City
MSF is working to restore critical medical and water services for communities returning to a devastated Gaza City.
After careful monitoring and assessment, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has partially resumed our activities in Gaza City, after being forced to leave on Sep. 24, 2025, amid the intensified Israeli offensive.
On Oct. 15, MSF reopened our wound care clinic in Gaza City. Since then, our teams have received more than 640 patients — the majority of them with trauma-related injuries. Many had been without access to proper wound care and dressings for weeks. MSF also continues to remotely support Al-Helou maternity hospital and Al-Shifa hospital with incentives, supplies and fuel.
The primary healthcare centre we supported in Sheikh Radwan was one of the facilities where we had to suspend our activities in September. When our teams returned to the area last week, they found the facility partially destroyed, leaving the community without a crucial source of medical care.
As of Oct. 14, MSF has also resumed water trucking in Gaza City. For nine consecutive days, we have been providing between 90,000 and 180,000 litres of drinking water per day, across nine to 14 distribution sites. We are currently assessing the possibility of further expanding these operations, as more people return from the south and face limited access to safe water in Gaza City.
