Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) strongly condemns the 28 July attack on Gaza City’s Al Shifa hospital, where an MSF surgical team is working. Al Shifa is the main referral hospital for the entire Gaza Strip.

7-24 | Sarah Woznick is a nurse specialized in intensive care. Low voice, black hair, brown eyes, walking fast from one room to another, busy and keeping herself busy maybe too.
