Medical aid group Doctors Without Borders, also known by its French acronym MSF, has urged the EU to stop the “mass atrocities” in Gaza, reiterating calls for exerting pressure on Israel to end the offensive.

In a statement on X, it said, “Yet, amid EU member states’ inaction, orchestrated ethnic cleansing in Gaza continues.”

“Over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed, including 12 of our colleagues, the last of whom was shot while trying to collect a bag of flour on 3 July,” MSF stated.

“The human carnage and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza are deliberate. Humanitarian aid is weaponised and blocked. Healthcare services are targeted daily.”
