An attack on an aid shelter in Gaza killed the family members of a Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF) staff and injured seven others. Following our investigation, the Israeli army says it 'fired at a building that was identified as a building where terror activity is occurring'.
'Her leg is bleeding. Carry her from below... slowly and avoid the gas cylinder... let's get out of here, pull!' a man shouted. It was 20 February and an aid shelter in Gaza occupied by Medecins sans Frontieres , also known as Doctors Without Borders, had been struck. Inside, the atmosphere was chaotic. People rushed to try to put a fire out in one of the building's rooms, as others helped another person laying on the floor.
Alongside the projectile, witnesses and MSF also told Sky News that gunfire was heard during the attack - one witness said they heard 'many bullets' while on the ground floor before they said the building was hit. MSF general director Meinie Nicolai, who visited the site soon after the attack, said bullets were fired at the front of the shelter.
