From Haiti to Afghanistan: On the Frontlines of Humanitarian Crises

"The principle of providing independent and impartial medical care to people trapped by wars, epidemics, or natural disasters regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or political ideology that guides the work of MSF medical teams around the world has really taken hold in the U.S.," said Sophie Delaunay, Executive Director of MSF-USA.

"With hundreds of thousands of supporters across the country and hundreds of highly skilled and dedicated aid workers sent out on assignment through the U.S. office, MSF's foundation in U.S. society is critical as the fundamental principles of independent humanitarian action are increasingly under threat from governments and armed groups."
