MSF surgeons perform 1,200 operations at Al-Aqsa and Nasser hospitals

Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) teams performed 1,200 surgical procedures across three supported hospitals in Gaza in the first half of 2026 — including trauma, orthopaedic, and paediatric operations.

The organisation is one of the few running maternal health services in the enclave. Its Al-Aqsa maternity unit delivered 3,400 babies in six months, more than half by emergency C-section.

MSF accepts no government funding for its Gaza operations, keeping its independence to speak publicly about what its teams witness.
