ANKARA - The international medical charity, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said Sunday that its teams in the occupied West Bank are subjected to violence and restrictions on movement.

In West Bank, MSF has been seeing increased violence and restrictions on movement, including blockages of ambulances,” it said on X, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.

"People with life-threatening injuries cannot wait to reach hospitals.

"Attacks against health workers and the disruption of access to healthcare are unacceptable,” it added.

A three-day incursion in Tulkarem and the Nur Shams refugee camp in the northern part of the West Bank ended early Sunday.

At least 14 Palestinians were killed in Israeli military raids on the camp, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Saturday. - BERNAMA-ANADOLU
