++SOUNDBITES SEPARATED BY BLACK FRAMES++

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jerusalem – 22 October 2023
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Leo Cans, Head of Mission for Doctors Without Borders:
“Twenty trucks actually is almost nothing. It's a drop in the ocean and the only positive thing to this is just that the border have opened for a very short time. But apart from that, the supply that came in is almost nothing. I'm sorry to say this, but it's nothing compared to the needs.”

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Leo Cans, Head of Mission for Doctors Without Borders:
“Ninety-five percent of the water in the Gaza Strip is not drinkable – this was the case before the war. So now, what we have when we talk with the people on the ground and we talk to them every day like several times a day, even our own staff. They say that they start to drink non-drinkable water, they start to drink salty water. And salty water is from the shallow part of the of the ground and which means that the water might not be, might give sickness.”

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Leo Cans, Head of Mission for Doctors Without Borders:
“It's a recipe for outbreaks and it's a recipe for disaster.”

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Leo Cans, Head of Mission for Doctors Without Borders:
“We already have cases of diarrhea, small diarrhoea outbreaks, about 40 people in the middle area of the Gaza Strip, in the school that gets diarrhoea. And the diarrhoea can be fatal for small children. It's not something small, it's something that can be really, that can have like, that can be deadly for the children or for the elderly people.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Leo Cans, Head of Mission for Doctors Without Borders:
“They don't have enough morphine, painkillers to use for the patients. So, what they are doing, they are forced to do operations with not an adequate dose of painkiller. So, they describe scenes of patients screaming on the beds because they don't have enough painkiller. When to do the dressing or so, they don't have enough painkillers. Some operations are done without painkillers, so they don't put the patient to sleep anymore because they don't have enough.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Leo Cans, Head of Mission for Doctors Without Borders:
“There are so many children that are coming with burns. Some of them, again, in Shifa Hospital, they are with 40% to 60% of their bodies’ surface burned, which is difficult to imagine, because 60% of the body surface is a is a lot and burns are extremely painful. And you know having these some children it's heartbreaking, especially when you don't have narcotic, when you don't have drugs to use as a painkiller.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Leo Cans, Head of Mission for Doctors Without Borders:
“As doctors, when we see this, we are clear there is no justification for this. There cannot be any justification to stop and to prevent morphine to come inside the hospital to operate the people – it’s not acceptable. Same for the antibiotic. Same for the bandage, same for the gauze.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Leo Cans, Head of Mission for Doctors Without Borders:
“We are really calling for this aid to go through. And again, this is civilian people who are just suffering from that and paying the price. Those people are innocent, you know? So, it's no justification for us to, for this situation.”
