MSF surgeon shot at al-Awda hospital in northern Gaza

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said that one of its surgeons operating out of al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza was shot and injured as Israeli snipers continued to lay siege to the medical facility.

The siege has been going on since 5 December, and a staff member at the hospital told MEE over the weekend that the staff and patients inside were almost out of food and water.

"We are an independent NGO hospital and working to serve the people. I don't know why we are being targeted," the staff member said.
