Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) condemns the Israeli Forces' evacuation order for displaced people sheltering inside Nasser hospital in Gaza, as they have nowhere to go amid intense fighting and destruction. The hospital, the largest in southern Gaza, has been targeted, leaving medical staff, patients, and displaced people trapped with limited access to essential supplies. MSF calls for respect for medical facilities and staff, an immediate ceasefire, and unhindered access to vital resources to spare civilian lives and re-establish the healthcare system in Gaza.

At least 35 people have been killed and over 60 wounded in an attack on a crowded market in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, according to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
