“It is torture for everyone: for the families of the hostages, for the prisoners to be released in Israel, and also for the citizens of Gaza and civilians,” explains Jean-François Corty, vice president of Doctors of the World, guest of 12 /13 Info on Franceinfo channel 27, Thursday November 23rd.
“We have almost 15,000 dead and I think that these numbers are underestimated today compared to the dead that were not found under the rubble,” he added of the number of people. In addition, the blockade causes vulnerable people to die because they do not have access to medical care.
NGOs cannot conduct hostage negotiations
“The humanitarian situation is catastrophic,” summarizes François Corty. The humanitarian pause is expected to allow 200 to 300 aid trucks to enter Gaza. “This break window is not enough (…) we need a ceasefire,” assures Jean-François Corty, who is demanding the entry of water, food, gasoline and medicine.
“It is not up to NGOs like Médecins du monde or Médecins sans frontières, it is not up to the United Nations to manage the interface and negotiations with the hostages. Simply because we do not have the mandate, we have no political legitimacy,” concludes the vice-president of Médecins du Monde.
