MSF concerned for staff member at Kamal Adwan Hospital

Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders is deeply concerned for the safety and whereabouts of Dr. Mohammed Obeid, an MSF orthopaedic surgeon who was sheltering and working in Kamal Adwan Hospital, North Gaza, with whom we lost contact since 25 October afternoon.

The hospital and its surroundings have been subjected to intense military operations by Israeli forces, and recent media reports indicate several medical staff detained on the morning of 26 October.

We are trying to get in touch with our colleague and are urgently seeking information about his whereabouts.

We call for his safety and protection, as well as to all medical staff in Gaza.”
