True or False: MSF operates 20 healthcare facilities and medical points across Gaza and has been present in the Palestinian territories for over 35 years.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. MSF operates 20 healthcare facilities and medical points across Gaza, representing a significant portion of the territory's remaining medical infrastructure. MSF has been operating in the Palestinian territories since 1989, giving the organization more than 35 years of continuous presence. This infrastructure serves approximately 1 million people (half of Gaza's population) and includes over 400 managed beds. The ban forces closure of these facilities by March 1, 2026, eliminating decades of institutional knowledge, community relationships, and medical capacity at a time when Gaza's healthcare system has been devastated by conflict.
