Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has released a report accusing Israel of committing ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip amid ongoing military operations. The organization stated that its teams have observed clear signs of ethnic cleansing, consistent with descriptions of genocide provided by legal experts and other organizations. The report highlights the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, noting repeated attacks on civilians, the dismantling of the healthcare system, a suffocating blockade, and denial of aid. MSF emphasized that these conditions have persisted for the past 14 months, leading to forced displacement and a catastrophic medical situation. The report also mentions deliberate attacks on medical personnel, while accusations have also been directed at Hamas. Human Rights Watch has referred to the situation as one of extermination.
