ABOUT DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) are actively working on preparing medical and humanitarian supplies to be sent to Gaza when access is open and they are reiterating calls for the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza, including via the Rafah crossing. MSF calls for the urgent establishment of safe spaces and safe passage for civilians trapped in Gaza. People who are wounded or sick must receive medical care. Medical facilities and personnel must be protected and respected; hospitals and ambulances are not targets.
