To date, there have been 75 documented attacks on health care facilities in Gaza according to World Health Organization. This has resulted in the deaths of 16 health workers and impacted 34 health care facilities and 24 ambulances. There are currently 2.2 million people trapped with dwindling access to food, water, electricity, and other essentials. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) calls for all parties to ensure the safety of medical personnel and civilians.
The complete siege and relentless, unpredictable airstrikes have made it extremely difficult to deliver aid and provide health care. As a result, our medical activities in Gaza are currently very limited.
While some of our colleagues made the difficult decision to move south following the Israeli military’s order to evacuate northern Gaza, others have remained and continue to support lifesaving activities in Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, as well as in Al Nasser hospital in the south.
As hospitals are experiencing extreme shortages in medical supplies, we’ve been able to finally make a large donation of medical stock, including medicines and medical equipment, to Al Shifa Hospital. Our teams are also preparing more medical and humanitarian supplies to be sent to Gaza when safe access can be guaranteed.
MSF is committed to supporting civilians affected by the heavy bombardments and siege by the Israeli military in Gaza. We want to be able to provide people with the medical care they need and offer lifesaving humanitarian services, but to do this, we need basic guarantees of safety.
In conflict zones, MSF does not take sides. We deliver care to patients who need it regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or politics. Our independence—and our ability to respond immediately in a crisis—is made possible through the generous support of our donors.
Civilians should never be a target of war. MSF must be able to reach people in need of medical care and offer lifesaving medical services. The entry of humanitarian aid and the protection of medical workers must be ensured urgently. Your support is critical to our lifesaving work in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, and beyond.
