Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has shared a photo on X showing its “Stop the bleeding” training in Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem governorate in the occupied West Bank.

“Women learned how to care for wounds, apply tourniquets, and provide basic first aid to their family members and neighbours until they can reach medical care during incursions by Israeli forces,” MSF said.

Israeli forces often block Palestinians in the occupied West Bank from accessing healthcare facilities, especially during military incursions when there are injuries.
