There is aid sitting all around the boundary between Israel and Gaza that is not being allowed in, Natasha Davies, a nursing activity manager with Doctors Without Borders (MSF), has told Al Jazeera.
“We’ve had a couple of trucks in [to Gaza], but really, it’s just a drop in the ocean … We run primarily a trauma surgical hospital, so every single patient has a wound of some sort that needs fixing with supplies that we are intermittently receiving,” Davies said by videolink from Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis.
“It’s just a humanitarian catastrophe. There are these GHF sites, which are slaughter masquerading as aid, which create mass casualty incidents, which create more injuries for us to treat with limited resources,” she said.
“The aid drops, which are not only ineffective but dangerous, just create chaos. They … cause more injuries. It’s just a never-ending cycle of trauma and injuries for the Palestinian people, which could easily be changed if Israel would facilitate the movement of our trucks inside. We have roads. We have trucks. Everything is ready,” she said.
