The following is a transcript of an interview with Dr. Christos Christou, Doctors Without Borders International president, that aired on Nov. 12, 2023.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Christos Christou is president of Doctors Without Borders International and he joins us now from Rome. I understand many of your doctors are working at Al Shifa Hospital, and said two infants died due to lack of electricity, the inability to keep incubators on, there are 40 premature babies who need to evacuate. Will the Israeli military help these children evacuate?DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT, DR.
To evacuate the hospital, you need time. You need weeks. It's not within 24 hours. And we said that several times in the past also, that it takes a lot of good organization to ever get the hospital, and next to this coordination, it takes also a ceasefire. We have reports that people trying to leave the hospital also have been shot down. We had also accidents--MARGARET BRENNAN: By who?DR.
First of all, we need to understand that at this moment inside hospitals, are people, are people in need. Our patients, our children, our children, we have this acronym, the WCNSF, wounded children of non surviving families. We have several families that they are there. And these are patients. We need to understand that, we have to protect the hospitals. Any attack in the medical care at the moment is an attack on humanity.
