MSF horrified Al-Shifa Hospital is in ruins
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation has lamented the state of Al-Shifa Hospital after Israeli forces’ operations.
In statement on its X handle, it said: “MSF is horrified that Al-Shifa Hospital is in ruins after a 14-day long operation by Israeli forces in and around the facility. Gaza’s largest hospital is now out of service. Given the extent of the destruction, people in the north are left with even fewer healthcare options.
“MSF staff members visited Al-Shifa hospital in January and March. Though the hospital was only partially functioning and desperately lacking supplies, medical staff were still treating over 200 patients in March.
“MSF calls for the safe evacuation of the remaining patients so they can receive the care they need. An immediate and sustained ceasefire must be implemented now to put an end to the destruction of healthcare facilities, endangering the lives of patients and medical staff.”
