'Healthcare workers coming under fire in Gaza Strip'─── 10:55 Wed, 23 Jul 2014
Cape Town - A nurse who has been working in the Gaza Strip says healthcare workers are coming under fire in the war-torn area.
Sarah Woznick, who works for Doctors Without Borders - MSF - left the area earlier this week. She says staff have witnessed the deaths of two paramedics who were killed while trying to retrieve injured people. A clearly marked MSF vehicle also narrowly escaped an air strike.
More than 600 people, many of them women and children, have been killed in Israeli military strikes on Gaza over the past two weeks. Woznick says the injuries she's seen are distressing.
Woznick says they're appealing for an end to the conflict and respect for international humanitarian law.
Israeli authorities say they haven't been targeting civilians, but are searching for Hamas fighters.
