Evacuation orders, heavy firing, blasts: MSF International describes situation in West Bank

International agency MDF International, in a series of post on social media platform X, described the dramatic increase in violence in the Jenin area of occupied West Bank since Oct 7.

It said Israeli forces had dropped leaflets on the Jenin refugee camp yesterday, telling residents to evacuate. Israeli military vehicles have blocked ambulances from entering the hospitals, forcing them to refer patients to hospitals further away, it revealed.

“Our team witnessed Israeli forces fire at the entrance of the hospital, with bullets hitting the wall directly above the door,” the agency added.
