Testimony of Caroline Seguin, head of MSF emergency operations in Paris

Rafah, Tal Al-Sultan
  • Humanitarian access
  • MSF bearing witness

"Israel is continuing its policy of obstructing humanitarian aid; we are seeing this obstruction of aid combined with a charade designed to make people believe that aid can enter the Gaza Strip via the floating pier built by the United States or through the Kerem Shalom crossing. In reality, nearly eight months on, we are still seeing blockade, obstruction, and appalling delays in the transport of equipment patients need for treatment, such as generators, water pumps, scanners, X-ray equipment, oxygen, sterilisation equipment, and more. Aid, when it is not completely blocked, comes in dribs and drabs, and can in no way adequately meet the immense needs of Palestinians in Gaza."
