Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has criticised the US’ plans to deliver aid to Gaza by sea as a “glaring distraction” from Israeli’s “indiscriminate” and “disproportionate” assault in Gaza.

“The food, the water and medical supplies so desperately needed by people in Gaza are sitting just across the border. Israel needs to facilitate rather than block the flow of supplies,” Avril Benoit, executive director of MSF USA, wrote in a post on X.
