We condemn this deliberate humanitarian catastrophe.

6/ MSF’s Secretary general emphasizes that the protection of civilians, of civilian infrastructure, of health workers and health facilities, falls first and foremost on the parties to the conflict.

MSF doctor Ghassan Abu-Sitta’s voice message to @IamArwaDamon after reaching Gaza’s Shifa hospital, where “thousands have flocked to and are sleeping on the grounds, between patient beds in the wards.”
What he describes is horrific.
“People are too afraid to bury their dead.”
🔴GAZA:
🔊"Today, for the last two hours, we've been looking for drinking water. They've been shelling all day. We don't know what will happen tomorrow or where we will go."🔊
Soundbite from our colleague Dr. Mohammed Abu Mughaiseeb, MSF Deputy Medical Coordinator in Gaza ⤵️
Israel has given Al Awda Hospital in Gaza just two hours to evacuate.
Our staff are still treating patients.
MSF unequivocally condemns this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza.
We are trying to protect our staff and patients.
“Israel’s 24-hour notice that people in Northern Gaza must leave their land, homes and hospitals is outrageous – this represents an attack on medical care and on humanity.
We have consistently seen dehumanising language and this violence is a manifestation of that.
🚨 Following the earthquake in western Afghanistan this morning, we have set up five medical tents at the Herat Regional Hospital to accommodate up to 80 patients. According to health authorities, more than 300 wounded patients have been treated at the hospital so far. 1/
