Seventy Palestinians killed in 18 November Israeli strike on Khan Younis: MSF

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has provided an update to the 18 November Israeli air strike on Khan Younis.

MSF said that within minutes of the blast, at least 122 people arrived at Nasser Hospital, and 70 people were dead on arrival.

“While 70 people were dead upon arrival, dozens of injured, including many children, arrived in critical conditions with severe burns,” MSF, which has doctors at the hospital, said on X.

The group added that surgeons at the hospitals are doing roughly 10 burn surgeries a day.

“The medical needs are huge and MSF is ready to scale up its activities, but we need basic guarantees of safety and unrestricted access of medical and humanitarian supplies into Gaza,” said Christophe Garnier, an MSF project coordinator in southern Gaza.

MSF said there was an urgent need for a ceasefire.
