Chris Lockyear, Secretary General of Doctors Without Borders, described in press statements on Friday that the humanitarian and health situation in the Gaza Strip as catastrophic.
He further said that there is no security or safety for health workers while performing their humanitarian duties in the Gaza Strip.
Nowhere is safe in Gaza, he stressed.
“Israel is using the humanitarian aid card as a tool for political propaganda,” he added, saying that the Israeli army is not allowing the necessary materials to enter the Strip.
Since the start of the Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, more than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed and 92,000 injured, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Over 1.9 million people have been displaced in Gaza, with many people being displaced multiple times. In Gaza, hospitals and other health facilities have been constantly under attack, leaving many not functioning. Food, water, and medicines are scarce. People are trying to survive in extremely dire circumstances.
Areas designated as humanitarian zones have been repeatedly bombed by Israeli forces.
