MSF staff: Hostilities in and around al-Shifa ongoing

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reported that their staff in Gaza are seeing dead people in the streets as Israel continues to bombard the besieged enclave. 

“We see people being shot at. We can see injured people. We hear them crying for help, but we cannot do anything. It is too dangerous to go outside,” one of their staff members in Gaza said. 

The organisation also said that all medical staff, including theirs, as well as patients in critical condition are still inside al-Shifa hospital. 
“We call for a cessation of attacks on hospitals, for an immediate ceasefire, and safe passage for  those who wish to leave hospitals,” they said, on social media platform X. 

MSF reiterated that they have not been able to contact their staff inside the hospital since last night, while their staff in other locations said that hostilities around the hospital have not stopped. “We are worried for their lives,” they said.
