JAKARTA - Doctors Without Borders announced that more than 20,000 injured Palestinians were still in the Gaza Strip after the first wave of injured and patients on Wednesday (1/11) were transferred to Egypt via the Rafah crossing.

The agency's statement said injured Palestinians have limited access to health services due to ongoing sieges and bombardments by Israeli forces.

Doctors Without Borders explained that as many as 22 of their employees could leave Gaza.

"Those who wish to leave Gaza must be allowed without further delay and without reducing their right to later return to Gaza," they said, as quoted by ANTARA from WAFA, Thursday, November 2.

It also said they called for an "immediate ceasefire".

Doctors Without Borders said emergency medical supplies and humanitarian workers should be allowed into Gaza, where hospitals are overcrowded and the health system is at risk of complete collapse.
