On […]

In southern Gaza, displacement orders and movement restrictions imposed by Israeli authorities on Nasser hospital are pushing this vital medical facility to the brink of being non-functional, warns Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). Ordering hospitals to refuse new patients and making it harder for people to reach care has been a pattern aimed at […]

On June 1, dozens of Palestinians were killed and hundreds more injured as they waited for food at the newly created Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution centres in Rafah and close to the Netzarim Corridor, according to the Ministry of Health. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams joined the mass casualty response in Nasser hospital, […]
The disastrous start of the food distribution coordinated by the newly created Gaza Humanitarian Foundation confirmed that the US-Israel plan to instrumentalize assistance is ineffective. On May 27, the first afternoon of distribution in Rafah, south Gaza, dozens of people were shot and injured as wholly insufficient amounts of basic lifesaving supplies were distributed amid […]
Israeli forces continue to systematically use last-minute displacement orders as a violent tool, turning the Gaza Strip into hell on earth for Palestinians.

On March 18, 2025, the Israeli authorities ended a two-month ceasefire by resuming their massive and indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza Strip and imposing a full siege, killing hundreds of people in just a few weeks.
