Israel has banned Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières, MSF) from providing healthcare and humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the war-torn Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank. Despite this ban, MSF says it “remains committed to providing services in Palestine” and as of April 13, MSF has even resumed core medical activities at Nasser Hospital.

MSF is one of 37 humanitarian organizations that Israel has banned from working in Palestinian territories.

Since January 1, 2026, Israel has blocked all aid and new international staff from getting to MSF in Gaza. And as of March 1, Israel forced all MSF international workers out of Gaza.

Unicorn Riot visited the headquarters of Gaza’s Doctors Without Borders in late January and heard from MSF’s coordinator in Gaza and the mother of a young girl who said MSF saved her daughter’s foot after an airstrike.
