WHEN HOME IS NO LONGER SAFE, WHAT DO PEOPLE TAKE WITH THEM? Around the world, people make the difficult decision to flee their homes and leave with only what they can carry. Reflect and Explore

Friend,

Over 122 million people have been forcibly displaced from their homes—more than any other time in modern history. They often have to leave everything behind, fleeing suddenly and bringing only what they can carry.

At Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), our teams are providing comprehensive medical and psychological care to people who have nowhere else to turn. From treacherous migration routes to inhumane detention centers, we are alleviating the profound negative health impacts caused by forced displacement.

Stand in solidarity with people displaced around the globe ahead of World Refugee Day on June 20. Reflect on the impossible choice millions of people make every day and consider what you'd pack and what you'd leave behind. Explore our interactive story of displacement and resilience.

MSF teams are there for people seeking safety far from home, whether they’re escaping violence or pursuing a better future for their families. Our teams provide essential services to people on the move, including treatment for traumatic injuries in our mobile health clinics, mental health care for people coping with trauma, and comprehensive care for people who have experienced sexual violence.

We created this interactive experience based on the real stories and keepsakes of our patients who have been forced to flee. In advance of World Refugee Day, reflect on the experiences of forcibly displaced people who come to MSF for care—often with nowhere else to turn.

Sincerely,

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières USA
