<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The NGO Medecins du Monde said that an Israeli attack on one of their Gaza offices "constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law".</p>
<p>In a statement, the charity said at least eight people were killed in the attack on the building in Deir el-Balah on Tuesday.</p>
<p>"Medecins du Monde had informed the Israeli military of the presence of its office, which had officially been declared 'deconflicted', or shielded from Israeli military attacks under humanitarian coordination agreements," it said.</p>
<p>"However, as during previous Israeli attacks, the team received no forward warning that would have allowed it to evacuate the building or take measures to protect anyone inside," it added.</p>
