Israeli army killed unarmed Palestinian teen in Jenin hospital: Medical charity MSF
ANKARA (AA) – Medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has accused the Israeli army of killing an unarmed Palestinian teen inside a hospital in the West Bank city of Jenin.
“Israeli forces just shot and killed an unarmed teenage boy inside Khalil Suleiman hospital compound. Efforts to save his life from MSF and Ministry of Health doctors were in vain,” the charity said in a statement.
MSF said Israeli forces have been firing live bullets and tear gas at the hospital, blocking ambulances and humiliating and harassing medical staff since October 7.
“This morning, Israeli forces stopped ambulances taking discharged patients home outside Khalil Suleiman Hospital. Paramedics and ambulance drivers were ordered out of the ambulances, stripped and made to kneel in the street. The patients were left in the ambulances. All of this happened in full view of our team,” the charity said.
“Hospitals are supposed to be safe spaces. Hospitals must be respected. These attacks must stop.”
Tensions have been running high across the West Bank amid the ongoing Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip that has unleashed a bloodbath in the besieged territory.
At least 289 Palestinians have been killed and 3,100 others injured by Israeli fire in the West Bank since then, according to the Health Ministry.
