A five-year-old child has died in an attack on a Doctors Without Borders (MSF) shelter in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestine. MSF provided the information on Wednesday as it deplored the attack, which killed the aid worker’s daughter.
According to MSF, the shelter was protecting more than 100 professionals and their families when a shell similar to those used by Israeli tanks hit the wall of the building on Monday morning, wounding four people. The child suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital, but died the next day.
Although the Israel Defense Forces, according to MSF, were aware of the shelter located next to the European Hospital in the Gaza Strip, “no evacuation order was issued prior to the attack,” the organization said in a statement.
The head of the MSF project condemned the attacks on civilians and emphasized the lack of security in the Gaza Strip: “the shell did not explode, otherwise many specialists and their families would probably have been killed.”
Doctors Without Borders stresses that to date, four professionals and countless members of their families have died as a result of the conflict.
