An agreement for the release of the hostages was reportedly reached between Israel and Hamas. Doctor Jean-François Corty, vice-president of Médecins du Monde, is the guest of 19/20 info to talk about it and to recall the need to provide greater humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Doctor Jean-François Corty, vice-president of Médecins du Monde, is the guest of 19/20 info to react to the agreement reached between Hamas and Israel for the release of hostages. “It is not the mandate of NGOs like Médecins du Monde or Médecins sans frontières to work on this type of issue,” he explains. However, he is satisfied “the lives of these hostages may there be a favorable outcome”.
Two thirds of Gaza’s hospitals are no longer functional
Moreover, “to the extent that we are asking for a ceasefire (…) this will allow humanitarian aid to be able to arrive in a more proportionate manner”. This is all the more important since Jean-François Corty says that two thirds of hospitals in Gaza are no longer functional. He wonders about the possibility or not of bringing fuel oil into humanitarian convoys when the truce is declared, because it is “important to keep hospitals running”.
