Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is calling for humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza, where living conditions are deteriorating rapidly and becoming “impossible” for the population. Isabelle Defourny, the organization’s president for France, highlighted the urgent need for aid to address the emergencies faced by civilians in Gaza.
With over two million people essentially living outdoors and temperatures dropping, the situation is dire. The destruction of infrastructure and ongoing Israeli bombardments have made life unbearable for the residents of Gaza.
MSF is urging Israel to reopen the Rafah border crossing to facilitate the delivery of aid and essential supplies. Despite claims that aid is being delivered continuously, the current levels are insufficient to meet the growing needs of the population.
As the anniversary of Israel’s war on Gaza approaches, MSF is advocating for a sustained ceasefire and an end to the mass killing of civilians. The organization is committed to providing critical support to the people of Gaza and ensuring that they receive the assistance they urgently require.
