Support refugees seeking safety this World Refugee Day

Doctors Without Borders provides vital medical aid and essential services to refugees forced to leave home due to war, violence, and persecution.

From Gaza to Sudan to Ukraine, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are working to provide lifesaving medical aid to people who’ve been forced from home and are fleeing to safety.

One-hundred and ten million people have been forcibly displaced and facing immense challenges—from a lack of access to basic care, to restrictive policies that prevent them from finding a safe place to go. MSF is responding by providing vital medical care, mental health support, and other essentials.
