(NewsNation) — Staff with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, an international medical humanitarian organization, will discuss Thursday ongoing aid disruptions in Gaza.
Speakers at the event include Christopher Lockyear, the group’s secretary general who visited Gaza in late March; Marie-Aure Perreaut Revial, who worked as an emergency coordinator in Gaza in December and March; and Dr. Amber Alayyan, the group’s deputy program manager for the Middle East.
According to MSF, the health care system has been severely affected by the Israel-Hamas war, leaving people without adequate medical care despite increasing humanitarian needs. Additionally, the group says hospital and medical staff are facing attacks rather than being protected.
Israeli forces have targeted MSF convoys, detained staff and bulldozed vehicles, the organization said. Hospitals have been bombed and raided hampering aid efforts. The organization reports five of its medical staff members have died.
