There is no more space to accommodate displaced people in Rafah: MSF

Emergency coordination Doctors Without Borders V Rafahin the south of the Gaza Strip, warned that the city no longer had room to accommodate the new displaced people forced war between Israel and Hamas.

MSF Coordinator, Nicholas Papachrisostomoudescribes a situation of absolute overcrowding at a time when an NGO opened a new clinic in a town near the Egyptian border to continue treating newly displaced people.

– said Papachrisostomou.

The city of Rafah cannot accommodate more people. The population density in Rafah is impressive. I’ve been to (Rohingya camps in) Bangladesh and I’ve never seen so many people, so many children on the street.

Nearby medical centers are overloadedWith. Al Aqsa Hospital treats 150 or 250 patients a day, and Nasser’s main hospital is now closed because it is in the war zone town of Khan Younis.

It must be remembered that since the start of the Israeli operation following the Hamas massacre on October 7, 1.8 million Gazans have been forced to leave their homes and head south.

“Shops are everywhere, on empty land, near houses, near medical centers, near hospitals, inside hospitals. We just can’t evacuate anymore,” said the MSF coordinator.

Finally, he concluded.

The Israeli authorities must understand that they cannot continue to issue instructions to evacuate these people. There is no more space, it is physically impossible to continue this violation of freedom of movement.
