Doctors Without Borders accuse Israel of unjustified attacks: 1700 health professionals killed in Gaza

Ana de Lemos from Doctors Without Borders expressed outrage over ongoing attacks on healthcare facilities in Gaza, highlighting the deaths of around 1700 healthcare professionals since the conflict began. Despite international humanitarian law protecting medical staff and hospitals, attacks persist, even after a ceasefire was declared. The situation has forced medical teams to adapt by relocating patients and prioritizing urgent cases. Lemos criticized Israel's justifications for the attacks, emphasizing the human cost, including thousands of children among the casualties. She stated that it is the attackers who must justify their actions under international law, not the medical professionals treating the injured.
