About 100 MSF staff have protested against the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and its deadly delivery scheme, which has been widely condemned by aid groups, Al Jazeera reports.

“People need the basics of life … they also need it in dignity,” MSF Switzerland’s director general, Stephen Cornish, told the Reuters news agency at the protest.

“If you’re fearing for your life, running with packages [and] being mowed down, this is just something that is completely beyond everything we’ve ever seen,” he said. “These attacks have killed dozens … They were left to bleed out on the ground.”

He added that MSF staff in Gaza have had to give blood to help the wounded, with most Palestinians too malnourished to donate.
