Deputy general coordinator for support services for Palestine mission (F/H) - Jordan

For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde (MdM), a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations here and abroad. It has continued to bear witness to obstacles that exist in accessing healthcare and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies.

Those working for this independent organisation do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.

MdM France currently works in 30 countries across all continents to facilitate access to healthcare through 6 political battles:

- Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights
- Migration, Exile, Human Rights and Health
- Harm Reduction
- Environment and Health
- Humanitarian Space
- Healthcare systems and rights

## Context

Médecins du Monde (MdM) operates across the Gaza Strip and the North West Bank, delivering **essential medical and mental health services** to conflict and occupation-affected populations despite severe access restrictions and an increasingly volatile security environment.

The magnitude and severity of death, destruction and extreme deprivation in the Gaza Strip have generated profound human suffering and humanitarian needs. In the West Bank, demolitions, operations by Israeli forces, settler violence and movement restrictions continue to trigger displacement and drive a range of humanitarian needs. The erosion of community resilience mechanisms has further intensified needs across all sectors.

Amid these constraints, Médecins du Monde (MdM) maintains a flexible medical and mental health response. Despite growing access restrictions, evacuation orders, and a shrinking humanitarian space forcing suspension and permanent closure, MdM continued its direct service provision in 7 Primary Healthcare Centers over the past year.

Since the Gaza ceasefire of October 2025, military escalation in the northern West Bank is expected to continue scaling-up and will lead MdM **to intensify its medical and mental health direct response while continuing to support the Palestinian health system** despite severe and rampant access restrictions.
