Doctors Without Borders forced to close primary care centre in Al Mawasi due to Israel’s offensive in #Rafah.

We had treated over 33,000 patients at the health centre since February.

This is the second health facility we have been forced to close this week. #Gaza

“Any ground invasion into hashtag#Rafah would be an absolute catastrophe. It doesn’t bear thinking about. It would be a disaster upon a disaster.” Chris Lockyear, Secretary General of Doctors Without Borders.

Immediate and sustained ceasefire now. #Gaza

“We are really exhausted. We just stay alive. We saw children and innocent people killed, whole families destroyed. A massacre. They attack people when they are moving to a safe place. There is no safe place.”

" If you don't have electricity, you can't electrify incubators for new born babies, ventilators, dialysis machines, treatments for cancer. Patients die without electricity. " #Gaza

MSF urgently reiterates its calls to stop the attacks against hospitals, for an immediate ceasefire and for the protection of medical facilities, medical staff and patients.

“We are being killed here, please do something."

Text from one of our MSF nurses from Al-Shifa hospital basement this morning. He and his family were sheltering there from the incessant bombing. #Gaza

At Al-Shifa hospital #Gaza:

We currently have around 600 inpatients who need medical care.

We have around 37 to 40 premature babies.

We have around 17 other patients in the ICU.

We have around 600 postoperative admitted patients which need medical care.

We need an immediate ceasefire.

Our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital.

Gaza: According to our colleagues working in Al-Shifa hospital, the hospital will soon run out of fuel and thus electricity. This means that all the patients who are today in intensive care units or connected to ventilators, and the babies who are in incubators, will die due to the lack of electricity.

It is critical that fuel be allowed into Gaza, as this is essential for lifesaving hospital operations as well as the availability of clean water.
