In the early hours of 17 November, Israeli forces surrounded hospitals across Jenin, including MSF-supported Khalil Suleiman Hospital, while the military forces were conducting incursions into a refugee camp in the city. Explosion & shooting were heard from the hospital compound.
The MSF team inside the emergency room of Khalil Suleiman Hospital was unable to receive and treat any casualties from the camp, as ambulances were blocked by Israeli forces.
Around 6AM, the Israeli forces ordered through megaphones everyone inside the hospital to come out. The staff did not leave the hospital out of fear. The Israeli forces then withdrew an hour later.
"Attacks on healthcare personnel and facilities have become a routine across the #WestBank, and intensified since 7 October", says Renzo Fricke, MSF Head of Mission in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
"Healthcare workers are regularly being attacked by the Israeli military while ambulances cannot move freely to reach the injured and ill. These attacks must stop now."
