A Year in Pictures 2025

Iraq: An MSF health staff member holds Zahraa, a young child receiving follow-up care at Al-Mahdi Health Center in Sadr City, Baghdad. The team works to raise awareness and provide early TB screening for families in the community.

Sudan: Rehab Musa, 19 years old, attends her second follow-up appointment with a doctor, at the Kalma camp health centre run by MSF. “My name is Rehab Musa, and I am 19 years old. I live here in Kalma camp for displaced people. I was born in this camp, and now I have given birth to my first child, yet we still live the life of the displaced. I am a mother to a little boy, Ayman Ali, who is nine months old. I gave birth under extremely difficult circumstances, and those days were some of the hardest times in my life. I thank God that Ayman is now healthy and well, thanks to the care we received here. The efforts of Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) are invaluable to us displaced people in Kalma camp. I suffered from complications after giving birth and was sick for a long time, but thanks to the healthcare I received, my condition improved significantly. Now, all I want is for my son to grow up in a safe environment, with good health, and a better future. Recently, I was enrolled in the Médecins Sans Frontières nutrition program for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. This program is a lifeline for me and other mothers, as it provides us with some of the essential food supplies we desperately need. I feel a true sense of relief knowing that my son will get the nutrition he needs to grow properly. Despite all the suffering we endure here, I hold on to the hope that this war will end one day and that we will be able to return to our homes and normal lives. All I dream of is a bright future for my son, Ayman—a future free from pain and suffering.”

Mexico: The executive orders on migration from the new U.S. administration leave hundreds of thousands of people along the Latin American migration corridor in great uncertainty, exposed to even greater dangers on a route already marked by extreme violence. MSF teams in Mexico are already witnessing the direct impact of these political measures on the well-being and mental health of some of their patients.

Sudan: Aisha Ibrahim is accompanying her mother to the mobile clinic run by MSF for displaced people from Sudan in Atam, Renk County. After thousands of people entered South Sudan’s Renk County fleeing conflict in Sudan, MSF has started running mobile clinics in Girbanat and Atam.

Bangladesh: In June 2025, Rohingya photojournalist Zia Sahat Hero and MSF Australia photographer Victor Caringal produced a series of photographs to show how the Rohingya have adapted to daily life in the Kutapalong refugee camps near Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh. We selected this image to share the threat of landslides that occurs from monsoonal rain and flooding, and the eroded soil in the camps. Originally there were shelters built here, but these were lost in a landslide. The area now remains precarious and unoccupied, despite the child standing and smiling from the top of the hill.

Haiti: A physiotherapist is manipulating the hand of a burn patient at MSF hospital in Tabarre.

Democratic Republic of Congo: People arriving at the Kituku Port in Goma. They are fleeing the ongoing fightings in North and South Kivu.

Myanmar: This monastery, built on stilts above the water at Inle Lake, Southern Shan, collapsed in the 7.7 magnitude earthquake on March 28.

Sudan: El Geneina, West Darfur, Sudan. July 29, 2025. Inside the pediatric ward of the El Geneina Teaching Hospital, children take part in a psychological support session organized by Médecins Sans Frontières. Balloons and toys offer a rare moment of joy for young patients and displaced families living through the trauma of war. Alongside medical treatment, MSF provides psychosocial care to help children and caregivers cope with the fear, loss, and disruption brought by Sudanese conflict.

Mexico: Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) vehicles drive through landslides and muddy roads to reach isolated communities in the mountains of Hidalgo.
