In 2020, @MSF teams provided medical and psychological assistance to 10,608 victims of sexual violence in #DRCongo.

But the needs of survivors do not end there.

Rejected and impoverished, they also need social, economic and legal support.

As Israel continues its aerial and artillery bombardment of #gaza many MSF staff and patients have been forced to flee their homes for safety. The damage to our clinic shows no place in Gaza is safe.

One year after its official declaration, the pandemic has not faded.

From Brazil, to the US, to Yemen, Mali or Italy... our teams responded to the new coronavirus in more than 70 countries.

"When vaccines are lacking, priority should be given to vaccinating health professionals and vulnerable people. That was the global agreement.

However, in practice, we see a small number of rich countries monopolising vaccines." - Christine Jamet, @MSF Director of Operations

The number of migrants and refugees at Italy’s northern borders has risen sharply in recent months.

Read about the Italian volunteers in who help these men, women and children on the move.

Solidarity in the face of the public authorities’ failures.
