"Violence Escalates: Hospitals Targeted and Doctors Killed in Gaza Conflict"

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) doctors Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila and Dr Ahmad Al Sahar, along with a third doctor, Dr Ziad Al-Tatari, were killed in a strike on Al-Awda hospital in northern Gaza, Palestine. The hospital, one of the last remaining functional ones in the area, was hit on the third and fourth floors, injuring other medical staff. MSF condemns the strike and calls for the respect and protection of medical facilities, staff, and patients. Over 200 patients in Al-Awda hospital are in need of urgent care and must be safely evacuated to other hospitals. MSF urges an immediate ceasefire, the lifting of the siege, and the protection of medical facilities and staff.
