Gaza has become a “mass grave” for Palestinians and those helping them
As Israeli forces resume and expand their offensive on Gaza, Palestinian lives are once again being systematically destroyed.
We are witnessing in real time the destruction and forced displacement of the entire population in Gaza. With nowhere safe for Palestinians or those trying to help them, the humanitarian response is severely struggling.
This horrific killing of aid workers is yet another example of the complete disregard shown by Israeli forces for the protection of humanitarian and medical workers.
Humanitarians have been forced to watch people suffer and die while carrying the impossible burden of providing relief with depleted supplies, all while facing the same life-threatening conditions themselves.
A series of deadly attacks by Israeli forces demonstrate a blatant disregard for the safety of humanitarian and medical workers in Gaza.
We call on Israeli authorities to immediately lift the inhumane and deadly siege on Gaza, protect the lives of Palestinians and humanitarian and medical personnel, and for all parties to restore and sustain the ceasefire.

JERUSALEM, April 16, 2025 — As Israeli forces resume and expand their military offensive by air, ground, and sea on the Gaza Strip in Palestine, forcibly displacing people and deliberately blocking essential aid, Palestinian lives are once again being systematically destroyed, said the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) today.
“Gaza has been turned into a mass grave of Palestinians and those coming to their assistance,” said Amande Bazerolle, MSF emergency coordinator in Gaza. “We are witnessing in real time the destruction and forced displacement of the entire population in Gaza. With nowhere safe for Palestinians or those trying to help them, the humanitarian response is severely struggling under the weight of insecurity and critical supply shortages, leaving people with few, if any, options for accessing care.”
