Khan Younis’ besigedNasser Medical Complex has become “place of death”, says UN official after aid visit.
The group Medecins Sans Frontieres , also known as Doctors Without Borders, has released a statement strongly condemning an Israeli attack on an MSF shelter in Al-Mawasi yesterday that killed two of the group’s staff family members and injured six.
According to the statement, an Israeli tank fired on a home sheltering 64 MSF employees and family members, killing the wife and daughter-in-law of an MSF worker. MSF says that Israeli forces had been “clearly informed of the precise location of this MSF shelter in Al-Mawasi,” and that the building was additionally identified with a large MSF flag.
The group says that bullets were also fired at the “clearly marked” MSF shelter, and that nearby shelling prevented an ambulance from reaching the facility to assist the wounded for more than two hours.
A 15-year-old Palestinian boy was killed by Israel forces in the occupied West Bank town of Azzun, the Palestinian Health Ministry says.
“These killings underscore the grim reality that nowhere in Gaza is safe, that promises of safe areas are empty and deconfliction mechanisms unreliable,” said MSF general director Meinie Nicolai. “The amount of force being used in densely populated urban environments is staggering, and targeting a building knowing it is full of humanitarian workers and their families is unconscionable.”

British MPs walk out of parliament over ceasefire vote row
Members have walked out of the UK Parliament after debate erupted over the nature of a Gaza ceasefire motion.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) had called for an unequivocal and immediate ceasefire, while an amendment was advanced to add numerous caveats about Israel’s ability to address military threats from Hamas, more in line with the position of the Labour Party.
More left-wing and Muslim members of that party have expressed disappointment over what they see as an insufficiently firm stance in favour of a ceasefire. The Conservatives also put forward an amendment that calls instead for a temporary pause in the fighting. A number of people stormed out in protest when both amendments were brought up for a vote, instead of just one as is the norm.
