Médecins Sans Frontières response to the bombing of Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.

We are horrified by the recent bombing of Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, which was treating patients and hosting displaced Gazans. ​ Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed. This is a massacre. ​ It is absolutely unacceptable.

"We were operating in the hospital, there was a strong explosion, and the ceiling fell on the operating room. This is a massacre" ​ says Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah, ​ MSF doctor in Gaza.

Nothing justifies this shocking attack on a hospital and its many patients and health workers, as well as the people who sought shelter there. ​ Hospitals are not a target. ​ This bloodshed must stop. ​ Enough is enough.
