Meinie Nicolai, the general director at Doctors Without Borders who has spent the past two weeks in Gaza, has told Al Jazeera that “the reports of malnutrition, especially among young children, are very concerning”.
“We need a ceasefire. We need it immediately … to increase humanitarian aid. Air drops will not solve this. We need a sustained ceasefire to bring the aid and the medical care to the people in a safe way,” she said speaking from Brussels. “Nowhere in Gaza is safe.”
She also said that even the buildings that were notified to the Israeli army as the place where humanitarian aid workers and their families were staying were not safe.
Nicolai said the Israeli army had attacked the building where her staff and their families were staying following the Israeli evacuation order despite her organisation notifying the Israeli army that it was housing humanitarian aid workers. The incident killed two women in the building.
She said neither the US nor Israel provided her office any clarifications about why they were targeted in the residential building in an area designated as safe by the Israeli army.
