In an interview with BFM TV, Isabelle Defourny, president of Doctors Without Borders, sounds alarm on the undergoing humanitarian disaster in Gaza. “It’s absolutely horrible, unprecedented. A trapped population, forced to focus on 10 % of the territory, continues to be bombed ”she says, evoking an unprecedented level of violence and suffering.

According to MSF, more than 1,000 dead and 6,000 injured were identified during food distributions. “It’s unheard of. Distributions that turn to carnage “says Isabelle Defourny, pointing to Israel in the organization of deadly rationing. Even rare humanitarian convoys, like those in the world food program, are targeted. Last weekend, 100 people were killed around aid trucks. The president of MSF also criticizes a Swiss humanitarian foundation operating on the spot: “She distributes chaotic, with insufficient rations. In this anarchy, only the strongest access food. The others fall. »» Malnutrition explodes, especially in children. “Everyone is hungry. Even humanitarian workers and journalists on site do not escape it ”she deplores. With exhausted caregivers, overwhelmed hospitals and targeted humanitarian aid, Isabelle Defourny describes a situation where survival itself becomes a daily fight.
