Israeli attacks in West Bank target health care, MSF says
Israel’s rising military operations in the West Bank in the past year have targeted and and blocked health care for Palestinians, against international law, according to Doctors Without Borders (MSF), The National reported on February 6th.
Since the Gaza war started in October 2023, there has been a notable rise in reported attacks on health care in the West Bank “including attacks on hospitals, destruction of makeshift medical sites in refugee camps, as well as the harassment, detention, injury, and killing of first responders and medical workers by Israeli forces” MSF said in its report called “Inflicting Harm and Denying Care.”
Between October 7th 2023 and October 7th 2024, the World Health Organisation (WHO) reported 647 attacks on health care in the West Bank.
