Doctors Without Borders 60 percent of Palestinian injuries in Gaza are direct

An official with Doctors Without Borders (MSF) stated that approximately 60 percent of the cases treated at the organization’s facilities in the Gaza Strip over the past six months were direct injuries. She explained that the situation for Palestinians has not changed significantly since the ceasefire.

This came during an interview with Shaimaa Awda, head of the organization’s mental health support department, who described the health situation in the Strip as “suffocating.”

Despite the ceasefire agreement in Gaza coming into effect on October 10, 2025, living and health conditions remain dire for the 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza, including 1.4 million internally displaced persons.

Israel continues to renege on its commitments under the ceasefire agreement, including opening the crossings and allowing the entry of the agreed-upon quantities of food, relief supplies, medical aid, and shelter materials.

Israel also continues to commit daily violations of the ceasefire agreement, resulting in the deaths of 765 Palestinians and injuries to 2,140 others, according to a statement from the Gaza Ministry of Health.
