As Israel expands its ground assault into Khan Younis, a surgeon at the European Hospital in the city describes desperately trying to treat a relentless stream of wounded children as critical supplies run out
The nurse who had helped him with the three-year-old double amputee was killed three nights ago along with 12 members of his family, Dr Pokotar says. A senior plastic surgeon, who was also a colleague, was killed with 30 members of his family in an airstrike four weeks back. Every day, nursing staff and surgeons are treating family and friends that are brought into the hospital – many do not make it.
There are more than two "sides" here. None of these people are on either of the "sides" you're talking about.
A badly burned toddler screaming for the mother he doesn’t know is dead – and screaming because doctors do not have enough painkillers to relieve his suffering. An eight-year-old boy whose brain is exposed as bombing damaged parts of his skull. A teenage girl, her eye surgically removed, because every bone in her face is smashed. A three-year-old double amputee, whose severed limbs are laid out in a pink box beside him.
The fighting sides are 2. Sure, there’s a whole spectrum of opinions, but the end result is horrible attacks.
I find it sad that two groups of people who consider themselves religious can’t forgive and end the cycle. It says a lot about the effects of religion on society.
The ICRC facilitated the transfer of 104 hostages and 154 Palestinian detainees involved in the exchange.
So how come people held by Hamas are "hostages" while people held by Israel are "detainees"? As far as I can tell, many of the people held by Israel are just random Palestinians they pulled off the streets.
In that case you might wanna check out the BDS movement. Alongside political action, it's currently the developed world's best shot at stopping the madness going on in Palestine.
