Our report “The Gaza Strip: A humanitarian implosion” urges the UK government to take the following immediate steps to avoid further deterioration:
- Exert greater pressure on the Israeli government to open the crossings into Gaza and stop fuel and electricity cuts in order to stem the worsening humanitarian crisis.
- Help facilitate a process of Palestinian reconciliation that can lead to a credible and effective peace process with Israel.
- Abandon the failed policy of non-engagement and begin negotiations with all Palestinian parties, including Hamas.

Iraq five years on: a serious health crisis and millions of refugeesMédecins du Monde has been working in Iraq since 1991. In addition to caring for sick children, one of the main objectives is to train Iraqi healthcare staff. Between 2000 and 2004, MdM was also involved in the creation of paediatric post-operative care units in four hospitals in Baghdad, Basra and Mosul. During and after the 2003 conflict, the international delegations of Médecins du Monde provided emergency support to Iraqi health facilities.
Since 2006, Médecins du Monde has been working from Amman and Erbil, supporting Iraqi teams and local NGOs to implement programmes to improve emergency medical care in Iraq.
