Doctors Without Borders sends its deepest condolences to the Palestine Red Crescent Society and the United Nations for the killing of eight medics and one UN staff in #Rafah, southern #Gaza.

Our thoughts are with their family members and colleagues.

Is it worth repeating that hospitals and health care workers are #NotATarget under international law and under any repect for humanity? Is it worth repeatng #CeasefireNow? Or #ArmsEmbargoNow?

We condemn these acts with the strongest terms.

This is outrageous.

On November 10, Israeli authorities blocked, without explanation, the medical evacuation of eight children and their caretakers from Gaza who are in need of medical care, including a two-year-old with leg amputations, to the MSF hospital in Jordan. We strongly denounce this decision.

“It's utterly shocking and outrageous that children who need essential treatment are being blocked by Israel from leaving Gaza. Israel’s denial of urgent medical evacuations defies reason and humanity,” says Moeen Mahmood, MSF country director in Jordan.

In recent months, MSF applied for 32 children and caretakers to be medically evacuated from Gaza to Jordan. Only 6 were allowed to leave. Lengthy procedures and unexplained denials block the provision of medical treatment for children who have been severely injured in Gaza.

The healthcare system in Gaza has been dismantled, meaning those in need of specialised medical care have nowhere to go. According to WHO, there are at least 14,000 people in need of medical evacuation.

Over 43,000 people have been killed in Gaza and 100,000 injured since October 7, 2023.

MSF calls on the Israeli authorities to ensure medical evacuations for Palestinians in need of medical care, including their caregivers, while ensuring that all patients and their caregivers are guaranteed a safe, voluntary and dignified return to Gaza.

While the world is distracted by pretense of democratic elections, medical staff and patients fear they won’t make it through the night as yet another hospital in Gaza is being violently attacked by the Israeli military.

As polls close, Gaza continues to burn-quite literally. This my friend’s brother-Tariq-being brined alive along with his wife and children in Zawayda last night after an Israeli drone attack. You can hear the agony in his Aunt’s voice calling out to him.

We have just received this distressing update about the rapidly deteriorating situation in Kamal Adwan Hospital.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed. Six people, including four children, were injured.

A @WHO team was at the site just before. This attack, during humanitarian pause, jeopardises the sanctity of health protection for children and may deter parents from bringing their children for vaccination.

These vital humanitarian-area-specific pauses must be absolutely respected. Ceasefire!

[Euro-Med Monitor @EuroMedHR]

Infographic | One of the most dangerous strategies employed by Israel as part of its genocide and plan to empty northern Gaza of its Palestinian residents is the targeting of shelters where they seek refuge from systematic attacks on their homes and neighbourhoods.

In this infographic, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor documents the Israeli army's targeting of shelters 65 times over a span of three months, with a peak escalation during the current month of October, following the Israeli army's announcement of a "new phase of war" and the issuance of new orders for the forced displacement of residents in northern Gaza.
