In the darkness of the night, the rockets are flying over the buildings. It’s very scary. It’s destroying my nervous system. It’s hard to live through this, but we are standing strong." Raisa, MSF patient from Yakovenkove, Ukraine.
More than 800 MSF staff members in Ukraine are providing emergency medical care as deadly attacks on civilians increase.
Many of our staff have lost their homes and stayed in Ukraine to help save lives as their families fled to safety. Everyday people turned volunteers are distributing essential resources with MSF’s support.

MSF’s medical train is evacuating people on the frontlines of the war, providing essential health care and treating traumatic injuries on board.
Our teams have evacuated and treated more than 2,600 patients on board— and counting.
Take a look inside one of our medical train referrals, which evacuated trauma-wounded patients, most of them children. We also evacuated 78 children from an orphanage in Zaporizhzhia between 2 months and 3 years old.
Every train evacuation is emotional. This one [was] a heart-breaking reminder of the human toll of this war. But the train was full of smiles, hugs, and love provided by the orphanage staff. There are moments of light in this darkness." – MSF emergency doctor Stig Walravens
Attacks on civilians are on the rise. In January 2023, a devastating attack on a residential building in Dnipro killed at least 40 people and injured 75.
MSF was one of the first organizations to provide survivors with medical care, psychological first aid, and essential relief items.
MSF helps local hospitals prepare for future mass casualty events. Our staff share their expertise on how to triage patients and treat the most severely injured first.
MSF’s mobile clinics are treating patients like Elena and her six-year-old son, Kirill, who developed breathing issues after living in an underground metro station in Kharkiv.
Without MSF, Elena said it would have been "far too risky" to go to a clinic by her own means.
MSF is providing comprehensive psychological health care to people processing trauma. Families have witnessed warfare, lost loved ones and been displaced from their homes indefinitely.
These invisible wounds of war will take years to heal. Our teams are in this for the long haul to meet people’s mental health needs.
Power our work in Ukraine and beyond and help us provide Care Amid Crisis.
