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.

With gazainsidethewar.com, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) extensively documents this total war waged by Israeli forces since October […]
Palestinians in Gaza are enduring one of the darkest chapters of the current war since its onset in October 2023. With hostilities reigniting on March 18, Israeli forces have intensified their military operations across Gaza, while forcibly displacing people en masse with evacuation orders, attacks and killings of medical and humanitarian workers. These actions, combined […]
