MSF International said it is seeing a complete collapse of the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip as Israel continues its relentless bombing campaign in the Palestinian enclave.

The agency said it was forced out of clinics in Khan Younis’ Bani Suheila after Israel’s evacuation orders. Meanwhile, healthcare services in Rafah are extremely limited.

“Every other patient in the clinic has a respiratory tract infection due to prolonged exposure to cold and rain”, Nicholas Papachrysostomou, MSF Emergency Coordinator in Gaza, said.
