The NGO Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to exert a “real pressure” at the political, economic and diplomatic level to stop the “patterns of” and “ethnic cleaning” that they have observed in Gaza by the Israeli forces.
“Our message to the leaders is simple: we urge you to use all the political, economic and diplomatic tools to exert real pressure on Israel, to stop the butcher shop in Gaza and allow the without obstacles,” said the secretary general of MSF, Christopher Lockyar, during a press conference in Brussels.
Lockyar presented an open letter to the EU in which the non -governmental organization urges community countries to “demonstrate that solidarity is not only words, but solidarity is rooted in action and accountability” for the crimes committed and the violations of international humanitarian law.
“What is happening in Gaza is the proof of a deep moral and political failure”
The MSF manager said that his teams on the ground are witnessing the “systematic dismantling of all systems that support civil life; the health system has been destroyed before our eyes.”
He affirmed that, throughout more than 20 months of war, they have observed “the repeated forced displacements of the population of Gaza and the destruction of the vital infrastructure that have remained, and that they have made the area incompatible with human survival.” “Members of the Israel government have clearly linked this military strategy with appeal to eliminate the Palestinians of Gaza, a clear call to ethnic cleaning,” he said.

Lockyar added that, daily, they also appreciate “patterns of in the murder of, in the bombardment of medical structures and shelters for displaced, in the total blockade including food for food and medical supplies.” Likewise, “in the total contempt of the sentences issued by the International Court of Justice that require Israel to guarantee humanitarian aid and avoid genocide,” he said.
“Israel is systematically destroying the necessary conditions for the life of the Palestinians in Gaza,” he concluded.

Lockyar also stressed that “this catastrophe has been deliberately caused by human decisions, prolonged and caused by an international community that has not yet gathered the value to stop it.” “What is happening in Gaza is the proof of a,” he added.
Thus, with 55,000 dead in the Strip since the Israeli military operation began on October 7, 2023, European leaders asked “how many children, women and men must die or be taken from the debris before you act with decision?”, And if they will continue “being complicit with their inaction”.
Regarding the review that the European Union is currently carrying out the compliance of Israel of Human Rights in relation to its obligations with the association agreement that is in force with the community block, the representative of MSF before the EU and NATO, Sergio Cecchini, said that it does not correspond to the NGO to indicate the measures that must be taken.
Instead, he stressed that the EU authorities “know the situation, have the evidence that MSF shares transparently about the situation that is being experienced.”
