MSF: Health Situation in Gaza Remains Extremely Critical


Gaza city: Doctors Without Borders (MSF) warned on Thursday that the health situation in Gaza remains extremely critical, noting that the ceasefire has not been accompanied by the opening of crossings or the delivery of humanitarian aid.

According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, MSF stated that there has been no improvement in its ability to bring in aid, as the same obstacles continue to block assistance. The organization emphasized the urgent need for aid to reach Gaza before any discussion of rebuilding hospitals can take place.

MSF highlighted the dire condition of the healthcare sector in Gaza, describing it as facing the largest structural and humanitarian disaster in modern history. They pointed to the presence of approximately 70 million tons of rubble and around 20,000 unexploded ordnance scattered across the territory, exacerbating the crisis.
