Spain Criticizes Israeli Ban on Doctors Without Borders

The Spanish government condemned Israel’s decision to ban Doctors Without Borders (MSF) from operating in the Gaza Strip, highlighting the charity’s essential role in addressing the region’s dire health situation. The ban, effective February 28, was enforced after MSF refused to submit staff lists to Israeli authorities. This decision threatens to severely impact medical services in Gaza, where extensive violence and destruction have already led to significant humanitarian crises. Spain urged Israel to reverse its decision, emphasizing compliance with international humanitarian law.
