MSF calls on Israeli authorities to immediately lift the inhumane and deadly siege on Gaza, protect the lives of Palestinians, humanitarian and medical personnel, and for all parties to restore and sustain the ceasefire.
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) condemns in the strongest terms the heinous crime committed by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) today, 13 April 2025, in the early morning when the latter directly bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital “Baptist” in Gaza City. This healthcare facility is the last standing one providing health services, at very limited capacity, to more than one million Palestinians in Gaza City and northern Gaza amid a total collapse of the healthcare system due to the ongoing genocide against the Gaza Strip population.
Israeli military strikes continue across Gaza, leaving nowhere safe. Between 18 March and 9 April 2025, there were some 224 incidents of Israeli strikes on residential buildings and tents for internally displaced people (IDPs). In some 36 strikes about which the UN Human Rights Office corroborated information, the fatalities recorded so far were only women and children.
Since Israel’s breach and rejection of the ceasefire, and resumption of aerial bombardments on Gaza, Israel has escalated its mass killings (at least 50,810 Palestinians have been killed and 115,688 injured since 7 October 2023), mass forced displacements, and total destruction and annihilation of Gaza. Israel is starving Palestinians in Gaza seeking their total erasure in what has been described as “the fastest starvation campaign in modern history”.

The memory of the Holocaust has, perversely, been enlisted to justify both the eradication of Gaza and the extraordinary silence with which that violence has been met.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Tuesday that Gaza had become “a killing field,” blaming Israel for blocking aid and failing in its “unequivocal obligations” to meet the needs of the Palestinian territory’s residents.

In the past two weeks Israel has carried out a “Qana” nearly every day in the Gaza Strip, and no one is calling for it to stop. The Qana nightmare has evaporated. There is no longer any need to be make sure not to kill dozens of innocent civilians. No one cares. The IDF spokesperson no longer needs to lie, the prime minister no longer needs to be sorry. The world and Israel’s conscience have melted away.
