The report highlights how repeated Israeli military attacks on civilians in Gaza, and the systematic denial of humanitarian assistance are destroying the conditions of life. "What our medical teams have observed on the ground throughout this conflict matches the descriptions of a growing number of legal experts and organizations who conclude that genocide is underway in Gaza," says Chris Lockyear, MSF General Secretary. “While we don’t have legal authority to establish intentionality, the signs of ethnic cleansing and the ongoing devastation – including mass killings, severe physical and mental health injuries, forced displacement, and impossible conditions of life for Palestinians under siege and bombardment – are undeniable.”
