Amande Bazerolle, from Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, told Al Jazeera that the organisation has one clinic in Gaza City that is seeing a “huge increase” in newly displaced people.

“We are reporting about 140,000 people and more coming every day, about 300 people per day with injuries but also chronic diseases that are not being taken care of,” Bazerolle told Al Jazeera.

She added that some of their staff are currently stuck in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon, amid Israel’s more-than-a-month-long siege.

“We are [getting] reports from what’s happening there from our staff as well which is very terrible without having access to food or water and just no security to be able to flee the area,” she said.
