“I was terrified, I was scared of being captured again and going back to square one” said Nada, a Syrian woman who is pregnant with her third child.

“I could not do the cycle another time, to be forcefully taken to Libya. To make myself, my husband and my family strong again”

🔴We have received confirmation that Dr Mohammed Obeid, an MSF orthopaedic surgeon, has been detained by Israeli forces along with several medical staff from Kamal Adwan hospital during a military operation on 26 Oct.

We are extremely alarmed by the detention of our colleague.

Doctors have offered overwhelming evidence about Palestinian civilians being systematically butchered.

What does it say about the Western media that their testimonies are not centre stage?

Our long-standing partner @IKEAFoundation has committed €35 million for us to scale up our activities in Sudan.

Around 25.6 million people are facing critical levels of food insecurity in the country.

We’re grateful to the IKEA Foundation’s focus on underreported crises and encourage a collective increase in aid to Sudan.

Medicins Sans Frontieres: It is the seventh time the Al Aqsa hospital compound has been bombed since March 2024.

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

Horrific news today.

A ceasefire is needed now to stop this bloodshed.

On October 14, an Israeli airstrike targeted an area housing displaced people inside the MSF-supported Al-Aqsa Hospital compound in Deir Al-Balah, resulting in 65 wounded and 5 dead.

It is the seventh time that Al-Aqsa Hospital compound was bombed since March 2024; three of them in the last month.

“It’s a scene of devastation. Tents caught on fire while people were sleeping. The hospital treated 40 patients, including 10 children and 8 women; many of them with severe burns. 25 more injured patients had to be referred due to the lack of capacity.” - Eliza Sabatini, MSF nurse.

A few hours before the airstrike on the hospital compound, another strike had hit a school used as a shelter, in Nuseirat camp, north of Deir Al-Balah.

Dozens of wounded people were brought to Al Aqsa, already overwhelming the hospital and medical staff.

“Successive mass casualty incidents like these would be very difficult for any well-equipped hospital. In Gaza, where we continue to face heavy restrictions on medical supplies, it is simply impossible to provide adequate care to the patients,” says Sabatini.

Repeated attacks on medical facilities in Gaza must end. Health structures and medical staff must be protected at all times, and warring parties must respect hospital grounds.

People in Gaza are trapped under relentless bombings. #ceasefirenow
