People are struggling to find clean water in Gaza.
We are ready to scale up our response, but the limited number of trucks allowed into Gaza carrying aid & fuel is preventing us from doing more.
The flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza must be restored!

Today @johnboyne I read this cover to cover. It has been decades since I haven't wanted to put a book down to the extent that I would spend a full day reading to the end. Moving on now to a re-read of The Cairo Trilogy...

Our teams are witnessing a shocking increase in Israeli attacks against civilians in Jenin, the West Bank. Attacks on healthcare have also increased dramatically and become systematic...

As an Israeli military operation has continued for 2 days in Jenin, West Bank, people die because they can’t access hospitals. Yesterday, a man had to carry his 13-year-old son to Khalil Suleiman hospital because Israeli armored cars blocked ambulances. The boy died soon after.

For two bloody months, we have seen the Israeli forces' indiscriminate attacks on Gaza target Palestinian civilians and healthcare workers. Our patients and staff have been killed. Nowhere is safe.
We call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire in Gaza.
It all #MustStopNow.

We are devastated by the UN Security Council’s failure to adopt a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza—blocked by a solitary veto from the United States.
“By vetoing this resolution, the US stands alone in casting its vote against humanity.”

“Failure to act now, to enact a total ceasefire and end the siege, would be unforgivable.”
As the @UN Security Council meets, we urge that they demand Israel implement an immediate and sustained ceasefire, and to end the siege in #Gaza.

“The bombing near Khan Younis felt constant and very intense last night. We could not even hear the sound of ambulances, I am afraid that under such intense bombing they may not even be able to move” says Christophe Garner, MSF Project Coordinator in #Gaza.

We are devastated by the death of a relative of an MSF staff member in Gaza, following injuries he sustained during the attack on an MSF evacuation convoy on 18 November.

Christophe Garnier, our project coordinator in southern Gaza, is one of the MSF team who entered #Gaza 6 days ago to help provide medical care to people. He sent us this voice note yesterday, the day after an Israeli airstrike hit an area near the hospital the team is supporting.
