Dr Mohammad Abu Mughaiseb – Médecins Sans Frontières’ (MSF) deputy medical coordinator in Gaza – told the 91 that hospitals in Gaza will “turn into graveyards” if there is no ceasefire. Speaking to Weekend's Albana Kasapi on the 91 World Service, Dr Abu Mughaiseb said MSF staff in north of the Gaza strip had been forced to flee. “If there is no ceasefire, if there is no medical aid and medical personnel who can enter and support the hospital, all the patients who are remaining in these hospitals will just die, and these hospitals will turn into graveyards.” Dr Abu Mughaiseb said the Intensive Care Unit of the main paediatric hospital in Gaza had been targeted by tanks, forcing MSF teams and other medical staff to leave and abandon patients. "They have been targeted by tanks.”
