The bombing right now in Gaza is relentless. People have been killed while forced to move, looking for safety. People are trapped, unable to escape, with absolutely nowhere safe to go. They’re deprived of essential needs – water, food, protected shelter, medicines.
This is unimaginable. This is inhumane.
Basic humanity needs to be restored in Gaza.
People in Gaza need protected spaces, and ways to reach them safely and unimpeded. People wishing to cross the border into Egypt should be allowed to – with the future option to come back – and be properly and humanely assisted. People also need clean water, reliable electricity, access to food and healthcare.
The Rafah crossing into Egypt must be opened to allow medical and essential supplies to be sent to Gaza.
For us, and all medical staff in Gaza to work, we need basic guarantees of safety.
Despite the incredible needs, the widespread bombing and the impossibility to bring in supplies has forced us to suspend most of our activities. Our teams inside and outside of Gaza are doing the best they can to respond.
As a medical and humanitarian organisation, we want to do so much more. Today this is just impossible.
