'Painful year for Médecins du monde': Medical staff now victim of Gaza war amid immense suffering


Issued on: 09/10/2024

In war-torn Gaza, the few remaining hospitals and clinics that remain open have been hit hard by a lack of supplies, with humanitarian aid into the territory restricted. Médecins du Monde Country Director and Field Coordinator Mahmoud Isleem joins FRANCE 24's François Picard, describing the "hard conditions" their medical staff faces trying to provide emergency medical and mental health services to the entire community: "Since the start of the war on the 7th of October, we lost our installations in Gaza, our operations were displaced several times, we lost our colleague, three were critically injured. Our staff providing medical services, nowadays in Gaza, are part of the community who are victims of war."
