Live blog: Gaza under attack - update 21st July 2014

Medecins Sans Frontieres, also known as Doctors Without Borders, has posted a statement on their website calling on Israel to stop the shelling in the Gaza Strip, saying that "the majority of the dead and wounded in Gaza are civilians", and warning that medical workers are also coming under fire.

Last night, MSF posted a tweet warning that its ambulances had been unable to access the wounded due to shelling.

Ashraf al-Qudra, Palestine's Health Ministry spokesperson, also warned two hours ago that first aid vehicles that were attempting to transfer the wounded from the shelling of al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza had been subjected to shelling.
