Natalie Roberts, the executive director of Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, has called on the UK government to explain why it has not condemned Israel’s planned offensive on Rafah.

“What is the UK government doing to avoid being complicit in the mass killings of Palestinians dying in their thousands from violence and disease?” she asked in a post on X.

Her post was linked to an MSF post, which contained the charity’s third open letter to the UK regarding Israel’s onslaught on Gaza.

The letter stated, “Hospitals across the Gaza Strip, have been destroyed by Israeli airstrikes…the UK is morally and politically complicit in enabling this brutality with impunity, by continuing to export arms.”
