Why is MSF doing this?

MSF teams work to save lives in humanitarian crises driven by conflict, disaster and disease. We know from experience in places such as Gaza, Sudan and Yemen that the cut to UK Aid will ultimately cost lives.

MSF is a leading humanitarian organization. We have a duty to speak out.

Will MSF be affected by the UK Aid cut?

MSF is an independent, neutral and impartial organisation. We do not take any funding from the UK Government, however, we bear witness to the impact of aid cuts in the countries where we work.

Worldwide 98 percent of our support comes from private individuals – people just like you. Since 1971, this has given us a unique independence that means we can act fast where others cannot, driven by medical needs alone.
