MSF said it had begun evacuating patients from a field hospital in Rafah ahead of possible evacuations

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said it had begun evacuating patients from a field hospital in Rafah ahead of possible evacuations, according to a statement on Wednesday, citing the head of its medical team in Gaza Aurélie Godard.

“We have started to discharge patients at the Rafah Indonesian Field Hospital, those who can walk, as we are also preparing for a possible evacuation,” said Godard.
He added that alternative health facilities in areas outside the evacuation zone are not sufficient to meet the needs of patients.

“The few field hospitals or alternative structures installed will not be able to accommodate the admission of injured patients other than normal medical needs such as childbirth and chronic diseases. Health needs will increase massively while access to health care will continue to decrease.”
The statement went on to warn that an attack on Rafah would be “catastrophic” for the more than a million people living in the area.

“The living conditions throughout Gaza are already very uncertain. They will be even worse for people who are displaced again and forced to live in temporary tents with very limited access to basic necessities like water.”
MSF warned that renewed Israeli attacks in the strip would further worsen the region’s health infrastructure, adding that providing medical and humanitarian aid was currently “extremely challenging.”
