Geneva, April 13 (QNA) - Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), Doctors Without Borders, warned of the continued and expanding violent attacks and Israeli military control over the Gaza Strip, stressing that the living conditions of Palestinians remain dire and catastrophic amid a deliberate pattern of obstructing humanitarian aid.

The MSF revealed in a statement that the so-called ceasefire implemented since October 2025 has failed to end the suffering of the people of Gaza, with at least 733 people killed and 1,913 others wounded since that date.

The MSF noted that its medical teams performed more than 40,000 wound dressings for injuries resulting from violent incidents, including gunshot wounds and explosions, confirming that more than 60% of the cases in its clinics in Gaza were injuries resulting from direct attacks.

MSF Emergency Manager Claire San Filippo said that Israeli authorities are imposing conditions aimed at destroying living conditions through the systematic restriction of aid entry and the cancellation of the registration of 37 international aid organizations, including Doctors Without Borders, which has been prevented from bringing in any medical supplies since the beginning of 2026.

The statement noted that the health system is being systematically strangled, with more than 18,500 patients, including 4,000 children, awaiting medical evacuation, which is being prevented by the occupation authorities.

The MSF statement also noted a high prevalence of skin, intestinal and respiratory diseases as a result of overcrowding and the forced displacement of about 90% of the population.

On the ground, the MSF explained that the occupation has effectively divided the sector through what is called the 'yellow line,' confining Palestinians to only 42% of the destroyed lands, and turning the area around this line into a killing zone under constant bombardment by aircraft, artillery, and warships.

The MSF called on the international community to use all political pressure to compel Israel, as an occupying power, to protect civilians, restore decent living conditions, and allow the entry of urgent humanitarian and medical aid without hindrance. (QNA)
