Journey to the Medicins Sans Frontiers hospital in Jordan to learn about the restorative work we do and celebrate the stories of our patients’ healing, recovery and rebirth.
MSF have partnered with Egyptian photographer Rehab Eldalil and the international festival of photography, Cortona On The Move, to bring an exhibition that celebrates the resilience and strength of patients at MSF’s reconstructive hospital in Amman, Jordan.
This hospital provides specialised rehabilitative care to war-wounded patients from across the Middle East, including medically evacuated children from Gaza. There, the team provides surgery, physiotherapy, mental health support and prosthetic fittings.
From the Ashes, I Rose confronts the devastating effects of warfare on civilians in countries such as Palestine, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
Yet, instead of focusing on the suffering of patients, the photographer has worked with them to reinterpret their experiences as profound acts of resilience and resistance. Their injuries are depicted as sources of strength and empowerment, metaphorically transformed into superpowers.
Oxo Gallery, London Southbank from 29 October – 02 November 2025. 1am–6pm daily (closes 5pm on 29 Oct). Free admission.
