MSF denounces ongoing bloodshed in Gaza

“I heard the sound of a missile, then a second missile, and then I lost consciousness,” says Mohammed, a patient at Al-Shifa Hospital. “I opened my eyes and saw my father on the ground, and I saw my three brothers on the ground, covered in blood. Dust was everywhere. I could hear people screaming everywhere. The tents had become ashes, and people were lying on the ground everywhere.” 

More than 300 Palestinians killed since announcement of ceasefire

This is the latest wave of Israeli violence in a series of attacks on Palestinians in Gaza that has so far killed more than 300 and injured over 760 people since October 11, according to the Ministry of Health.

After two years of relentless war and horror, conditions remain desperate Palestinians remain displaced, exhausted, and face a cold winter without basic necessities amidst intermittent Israeli attacks across the Strip. We continue to call for the protection of all civilians and health care staff and facilities. 

Aid must be let in at scale as conditions remain dire in Gaza

The Israeli authorities continue to impose significant restrictions on the entry of aid into Gaza. MSF and other organizations are struggling to get vital supplies into Gaza, especially medical equipment, shelters, hygiene items, and spare parts for vital infrastructure. Access to these items is critical for people’s health.

According to 2025 medical data collected by MSF teams, diseases directly linked to poor living conditions—such as skin, eye, respiratory, and gastrointestinal infections, as well as generalized aches and pains—account for 70 percent of all outpatient consultations in our health care centers in southern Gaza. Without immediate improvements to water, sanitation, shelter, and nutrition, more people will die from entirely preventable causes.
