Doctors Without Borders has suspended its activities in the besieged Damascus suburbs of East Ghouta after militants stormed its hospital looking for wounded enemies amid intense clashes between rival Syrian rebel groups.
According to reports from MSF-supported doctors in the area, about 30 masked and armed men stormed the Hazzeh Hospital in the East Ghouta region on 29 April, looking for specific wounded patients. They also stole the hospital’s ambulance.

(REPORT) — Police in Paris have been engaging in “systematic … violence” that includes endangering migrants’ lives by stealing their blankets in the middle of winter, according to international charitable group Doctors Without Borders – known commonly by its French acronym, MSF.

The first “Battle of Kunduz” took place from April to October 2015 for control of the city, where Taliban forces were playing cat and mouse for months and finally overran the city, forcing government forces to flee. The capture marked the first time since 2001 that the Taliban had taken control of a major city in Afghanistan. The Afghan government claimed to have largely recaptured Kunduz by October 1 in a counterattack, but by October 6 the Taliban had recaptured substantial portions of Kunduz.

Aleppo is being called a ‘bloodbath’.

(ANTIWAR) Saudi warplanes are adding to the ever-growing number of incidents of attacks on civilians fueling international disquiet this weekend, attacking a village in the northern Saada Province and killing 19 civilians, most of them children.

Apparently the US had to be reminded that bombing hospitals is a bad thing.

Dear MSF International President Dr. Joanne Liu,
Your organization is well regarded and influential.  I appreciate that many good people work for and support MSF/Doctors Without Borders.  However, I need to inquire about your independence and the consequences of your work in Syria. I believe an objective look will reveal that while you are helping in some areas, you are causing harm in others.
Following are questions on this important issue:
