The Israeli airstrike hit just 250 meters from an MSF clinic in Al-Mawasi. MSF had not received an official evacuation order from Israeli forces. MSF staff and the 500 or so patients and caregivers present that day had only a few minutes to flee the facility, which was later found with destroyed equipment and shrapnel damage to its desalination plant.
