Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has denounced Israel’s blockade of medical evacuations in Gaza that occurred on Nov 10.

The organisation posted on X: “On 10 November, Israeli authorities blocked, without explanation, the medical evacuation of eight children and their caretakers from Gaza who are in need of medical care, including a two-year-old with leg amputations, to the MSF hospital in Jordan.”

MSF Jordan’s Moeen Mahmood was quoted as saying: “It’s utterly shocking and outrageous that children who need essential treatment are being blocked by Israel from leaving Gaza. Israel’s denial of urgent medical evacuations defies reason and humanity.”

The MSF highlighted that out of 32 children and caretakers that it had applied for to be medically evacuated from Gaza to Jordan, only six were allowed to leave.
