Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” in the Gaza Strip in a new report documenting the 14-month conflict, AFP reports.
The report documents 41 attacks on MSF staff including air strikes on health facilities and direct fire on humanitarian convoys. The NGO said it was forced to evacuate hospitals and health centres on 17 occasions.
“We are seeing clear signs of ethnic cleansing as Palestinians are forcibly displaced, trapped and bombed,” said Christopher Lockyear, MSF’s secretary general.
Israel has repeatedly rejected accusations that its campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide.
MSF’s report, entitled ‘Gaza: Life in a Death Trap’, said the siege of the Palestinian territory has drastically reduced humanitarian aid, with only 37 trucks authorised daily in October 2024, compared with 500 before the conflict.
