I have a lot of respect for MSF. This is egregious:

Two people, an MSF volunteer and a staff family member, were killed in the attack. The organization is demanding the Israeli military investigate the incident.

MSF said the Israeli military also intentionally damaged and destroyed MSF vehicles in the days following the convoy attack. Twice, the group said Israeli bulldozers and tanks destroyed MSF vehicles on the street in front of the clinic, leaving the nonprofit without any way to evacuate staff.

“When [the bulldozer] pushed aside the cars, the western wall of the clinic fell apart,” an MSF staffer said. “Then the tank came and opened fire towards the MSF cars and vans. The MSF vans caught fire.”
