Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has condemned a shooting near the al-Shaboura clinic in Rafah, southern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

The medical NGO said a Palestinian man was shot next to the entrance of the clinic, and a volley of gunfire forced health staff to take shelter inside the facility on Sunday.

“While we can’t confirm the source of these bullets, shots fired from the southern Israeli-controlled buffer zone are increasingly common and cost lives, despite the ceasefire,” Myriam Laaroussi, MSF’s emergency coordinator, said.

“This incident is unacceptable. It jeopardised the lives of our patients and staff.”
