MSF GAZA: "This is not a ceasefire" - Life in Gaza continues to be suffocated six months on
Six months since the fragile and ineffective ceasefire was implemented in Gaza on 10 October 2025, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is raising the alarm on continued violent attacks by Israeli forces and an ever-expanding military control of the Strip. At the same time, the living conditions of Palestinians remain dire, against the backdrop of a continuous and deliberate pattern of obstruction of aid by Israel, which is translating into entirely preventable deaths. MSF’s medical teams are witnessing firsthand that, while the intensity of the conflict has decreased, the reality in Gaza remains catastrophic.

MSF BENIN: Nigerian refugees seek safety in Benin
"I was sick and I was pregnant. I gave birth to five of my children at home; I have never been to a health centre. For this new baby though, I felt that my life would be at risk if I didn't seek help so, the other people I was on the run with called a caregiver from the village of Illori, Nigeria, who helped me give birth. As soon as I gave birth, we learned that armed men were arriving in the village. I fled again with my newborn. When I heard noises, I had no strength to run. I was protecting my child. My feet were swollen. I could neither sit nor stand. I was exhausted," said Amina*, a 30-year-old mother of six of Nigerian origin, who arrived at the beginning of March on the other side of the border in Benin.
