Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has said that the Gaza Strip has turned into a “mass grave” for Palestinians and those trying to help them, as a result of the Israeli’s renewed attacks and siege.
“Palestinian lives are once again being systematically destroyed,” the MSF said in a statement, adding that a series of deadly attacks over the past three weeks by Israeli forces “have shown a blatant disregard for the safety of humanitarian and medical workers in Gaza.”
“We are witnessing in real time the destruction and forced displacement of the entire population in Gaza,” the statement read.
MSF continued, saying that the full siege on Gaza has depleted food, fuel, and medical supplies, warning that without fuel replenishment across the Strip will lead to the inevitable suspension of activities as hospitals rely on generators for electricity to keep critical patients alive and conduct lifesaving operations.
The organization urged Israeli authorities to “immediately lift the inhumane and deadly siege on Gaza, protect the lives of Palestinians, humanitarian and medical personnel, and for all parties to restore and sustain the ceasefire”.
