MFS says that Israel’s incursion in Jenin is ‘very alarming’

BRUSSELS: Médecins Sans Frontières (MFS), also known as Doctors Without Borders, said that the “scale and intensity of Israel’s four-day incursion in Jenin is very alarming. Israeli forces keep obstructing access to health facilities blocking and even targeting ambulances, delaying people’s access to care.”

The international organization added in a brief statement published on X that “in the MSF-supported Khalil Suleiman Hospital, which has been surrounded by Israeli Forces since the start of the incursion, electricity and water supplies are compromised. The medical team has been forced to halt dialysis operations, key for the treatment of kidney failure.”

“In Tulkarm, after the withdrawal of Israeli forces, our teams saw the destruction in the camps and heard disturbing reports from an MSF-trained volunteer who was beaten and interrogated by Israeli authorities,” it added.

“Israel must adhere to its obligations as an occupying power in the West Bank, including access to medical care. Hospitals, ambulances
and the medical humanitarian mission must be respected and protected,” MFS concluded.
