“Military pressure forced MSF to close its last health centre in the north. “Doctors treated patients until intense gunfire forced them to leave.”– he explained in detail in his statement.

The MSF decision coincides with order for forced evacuation, “illegal under humanitarian law”, of the remaining population of Gaza Citythe Strip’s main city, which had already been forced to evacuate in October, in the early days of the war.

Currently on the North Strip Only Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia remains operational; and Indonesian hospital in Yabalia; but now in Gaza City, where Al-Ahly ceased its activities two days ago, there is nothing.

“We don’t know where to go. “Where to spend the night, where to take shelter or get food when all the bakeries are closed.”Suhail Habib, a Gaza-based worker for the organisation, said in a video published by MSF.
