Initially, they were unable to escape due to the ongoing fighting. But now several employees of the aid organization Doctors Without Borders tried to escape from Al-Shifa Hospital to safer areas in the Gaza Strip. But along the way a convoy came under fire. One person died.
On Saturday, the group drove seven kilometers south on the Israeli-marked road in five clearly marked vehicles. Because there was no progress at the last heavily overcrowded checkpoint for hours and shots were fired there, the group decided to return to the MSF site, the organization said.
“A family member killed”
The convoy was attacked in the afternoon, shortly before it arrived there. A family member was killed and another person was injured. “The organization once again urgently calls for a ceasefire,” she said. This is the only way thousands of stranded citizens can be safely evacuated.
The Israeli army has been stationed around Gaza’s Shifa hospital for days. Israel accuses the Islamist Hamas of using the hospital for terrorist purposes and operating a command center beneath the buildings. Hamas denies this.
