The closure of Doctors Without Borders clinics in Gaza represents a grotesque moral inversion: some of the world’s finest humanitarian professionals being shut down by authorities overseeing mass civilian suffering.
Doctors Without Borders embodies the best of humanity—neutral, lifesaving, and guided solely by medical ethics. Forcing these doctors out in the midst of catastrophe is not a security measure. It is an act of cruelty. When doctors are expelled, patients die. When aid is blocked, starvation becomes policy rather than consequence.
Any state that claims to be a democracy bound by law and values cannot criminalize medicine, suffocate humanitarian relief, or dismantle the last remaining lifelines for wounded children. That behavior belongs to regimes history condemns, not those that claim moral legitimacy.
The systematic destruction of medical care is not collateral damage—it is strategy. It reflects contempt for international law, human life, and the most basic rules of warfare.
If the best of the best in humanitarian medicine are being driven out, responsibility lies squarely with the worst of the worst in power. Silence in the face of this is not neutrality—it is complicity.
