Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is deeply mourning the killing of our colleague in Gaza, 31-year-old Nasser Hamdi Abdelatif Al Shalfouh. Nasser was killed by shrapnel injuries he suffered to his legs and chest on October 8 in Jabalia, North Gaza. Since October 7, Jabalia has been under relentless attacks by Israeli forces, and people have remained trapped since then without being able to flee.
In a retrospective report published on Monday, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announced that – together with the Ministry of Health – treated an unprecedented number of victims and survivors of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2023, and that this upward trend continued in the first months of 2024. The medical humanitarian organisation calls on all national and international stakeholders to take urgent action to prevent this phenomenon and improve care for survivors
