Le président de MSF International appelle à un cessez-le-feu immédiat à Gaza

[Déclaration vidéo disponible en anglais uniquement] : 

"We’ve seen and heard the stories of the hell being unleashed on Gaza.

Helpless people are being subjected to horrific bombing.

Families have nowhere to run or hide.

An immediate ceasefire is the only way the people of Gaza can find safety and the essential aid they urgently need.

So many people need help. What medical staff can do is but a drop in the ocean compared to the immense needs.

Our teams still working in Gaza are exhausted and terrified.

Our staff tell us that pregnant women can’t get to hospitals to deliver.

People are stuck under the rubble of shelled out buildings.

Children are having limbs amputated while lying on the floor.

The bombing, the all-out assault, needs to stop. NOW.

As the president of a medical humanitarian organisation, I urge – implement an immediate ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

As a doctor, a surgeon, I implore – give Gazans the ceasefire they need now so that medicines can be delivered, and they can get healthcare.

As a human being, I beg – stop the bombing and allow people in Gaza to live.
