MSF accuses Israel of 'ethnic cleansing' in Gaza
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" in the Gaza Strip in a report documenting Israel's war on Gaza published on Thursday.
The report documents 41 attacks on MSF staff, including air strikes on health facilities and direct fire on humanitarian convoys. The NGO said it was forced to evacuate hospitals and health centres on 17 occasions.
"We are seeing clear signs of ethnic cleansing as Palestinians are forcibly displaced, trapped and bombed," said Christopher Lockyear, MSF's secretary general.
MSF's report, entitled "Gaza: Life in a Death Trap", said the siege of the Palestinian territory has drastically reduced humanitarian aid, with only 37 trucks authorised daily in October 2024, compared with 500 before the war.
