According to the humanitarian organization Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF) or Doctors Without Borders, the actions of global leaders are too weak and slow to impact the cessation of atrocities in Gaza.
In its statement, it said, "Médecins Sans Frontières calls for an immediate ceasefire to prevent more deaths in Gaza and allow desperately needed humanitarian supplies in. Since Friday 27 October, the bombing by the Israeli forces has intensified to a degree not seen until now: northern Gaza is being razed to the ground, while the whole Strip is being hit and civilians have no place to take shelter. The actions of world leaders are too weak, too slow, as a non-binding UN resolution for a ceasefire has done nothing to reign in the indiscriminate violence unleashed on a helpless people".
MSF further urged the international community to act quickly and take stronger action in enforcing "Israel" to stop the bloodshed and massacres.
"People are being killed and forcibly displaced from their homes, and water and fuel are running low. The atrocity is on a scale never seen before in Gaza," the MSF stated.

Thousands of families taking shelter at hospitals
This comes after the organization expressed "deep concern" about the situation in Gaza, stressing that the group lost contact with some of their Palestinian colleagues on the ground, amid intense Israeli bombardment and the cut-off of all sources of communication.
"We are particularly worried for the patients, medical staff and thousands of families taking shelter at Al Shifa hospital and other health facilities," it wrote on X, adding that "we call for the unequivocal protection of all medical facilities, staff and civilians across the Gaza Strip."
