Abstract

The Syrian conflict involving government troops and opposition groups that has occurred since 2011 has resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis. Although this conflict has been mediated by various parties, until now the problem has not been resolved. This article will discuss one of the international actors who participated in dealing with the humanitarian impact that occurred in Syria, namely Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF). The role of MSF will be analysed using the concept of humanitarian principles in global humanitarian action. Data was collected through an online literature search relevant to this study. This article finds that MSF has a major role to play in helping to ease the health burden experienced by the war-affected Syrian people. In its role too, MSF always adheres to humanitarian principles such as humanity, neutrality, independence and impartiality.
