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.
