GENEVA (Reuters) – Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reported on Tuesday that three doctors, including two working for the organization, were killed in a strike on Al Awda hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, an incident which “horrified” MSF.
In a statement, MSF said it “regularly shares” with stakeholders in the conflict in Gaza “information on Al Awda as an operational hospital and the presence of its staff in Al Awda”.
“GPS coordinates were also shared yesterday (Monday) with Israeli authorities,” MSF said.
“Seeing doctors being killed near hospital beds is beyond tragic, and it must stop now,” the organization said in its statement.
