MSF International said Israeli snipers have surrounded the Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza and are shooting people inside the facility, resulting in the injury of a surgeon.

“Reports coming out of Al-Awda hospital are harrowing and we are gravely worried for safety of patients and staff inside,” Renzo Fricke, MSF head of mission in Gaza, said.

“Al-Awda is a functioning hospital with medical staff and many patients in vulnerable condition. Targeting medical workers as they care for their patients is utterly reprehensible, utterly inhumane,” he said.
