MSF calls for end to Gaza bombardments

Medecins Sans Frontieres has called on Israel to stop the bombardment of Gaza, saying the shelling is making it difficult to provide much needed care to the wounded.

Palestinian medics from Gaza City's al-Shifa hospital, where MSF is working, react to body bags containing children's remains.

Israel's sustained assault on the Gaza Strip has pushed the Palestinian death toll to beyond 500, whilst at least 27 Israelis - all but two of them soldiers - have died in the offensive.

International medical organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres has called on the Jewish state to stop the bombardment, saying the shelling is making it difficult to provide much needed care to Gazans.

The organisation says staff witnessed the bodies of two paramedics and two others who were injured trying to retrieve wounded from Shejaiya while an MSF vehicle also narrowly escaped an airstrike.

MSF's Gaza coordinator, Audrey Landmann, told Brianna Roberts people are presenting with a wide array of injuries.
