Last month, the Israeli military finally withdrew from Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital after a two-week raid, leaving behind nothing but apocalyptic scenes of death and destruction.
Grounds were littered with dead bodies. Most buildings were burned and reduced to empty shells.
What Gaza lost in al-Shifa was much more than its largest medical complex. Because Al-Shifa stood as much more than a hospital for the people of Gaza.
Samedi 4 mai, alors que sa nationalité britannique ne lui impose pas de #visa pour entrer en #France, un médecin de @DoctorsWithoutBorders (#MSF) et recteur de l'#UniversityofGlasgow a été refusé d'entrée de territoire français à son arrivée à l'aéroport Charles-de-Gaule en France alors qu'il venait témoigner au #Sénat de la situation humanitaire à #Gaza après avoir exercé 40 jours dans l'hopital #AlShifa.
Après qu'il lui a été confisqué, il a dû témoigner au Sénat avec son téléphone depuis l'aéroport.
Dr Adnan Al-Bursh, 50, who was the head of orthopaedics at al-Shifa Hospital, has died in an Israeli prison after more than four months in detention, Palestinian prisoner associations have said.
Colleagues have paid tribute to the late surgeon, describing him as "compassionate" and "heroic".
CW: There's some artful hypocrisy from a White House spokesperson in the article, along with the usual BBC bothsidesism.
Nasser, where the IDF killed the incubators babies, is the scene of more uncovered bound bodies, in mass graves,, like #AlShifa, which the American Medical Association has never condemned.
To the dismay of the impunity prone #FailedStateDepartmentOfMeritlessBlinken UN’s high commissioner of human rights Volker Türk demanded an "independent, effective, and transparent" probe into the killings and mass graves, adding that "given the prevailing climate of impunity, this should include international investigators."
#WesternMediaEngineersConsentForIsraelsGenocide: If a state power is preventing journalists and human rights groups from investigating the facts on the ground in a given area, then it is not legitimate to give their claims about what happens in that area weighted consideration when their track record and all the facts in evidence say they’re probably lying.
The fact that the western press keep giving Israel the benefit of the doubt whenever reports like this emerge after they’ve been caught in so very many lies means the western press are just as culpable for the circulation of Israeli lies as Israel itself.
Last month, communication was lost with 94-year-old Naifa Rizq after the surprise Israeli military invasion of Al Shifa Hospital. Yesterday, her sons discovered her home engulfed in flames by the Israeli army. Inside, they found her charred remains on her bed.
Israel is hiding their evidence of their war crimea by setting Palestinian houses on fire before leaving.
Sadly, the world is standing by and watching these crimes to go unpunished and unpublished.
After global pressure and outcry against Israeli attacks against members of WCK that led to death of 7 members, Israeli government have officially apologied for the "mistake" and blamed the "accident" on Hamas.
This is another outrageous lie by IDF who targeted 3 different vehicles of WCK. Clearly marked by the group and their geo locations shared with Israeli military.
Do they really think we are stupid? That they accidentally attacked 3 vehicles from the same organization on 3 different locations by mistake?
This wasn't just another criminal action by IDF to prevent food distribution to starving Palestinians and to draw attention away from their horrible war crimes in and around #AlShifa Hospital?
The Biden administration is saying with its connect on #AlShifa that whatever bogus reasons are provided this week to safeguard civilians will be believed so that Israel can attack and make #Rafah unlivable.
#StopKillingAndDisapearingMedicalPersonnel: A Doctors Without Borders physician went on Sky News to talk about Israel’s deliberate destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system, and the Murdoch shill anchor who was interviewing her asked her if Hamas was active in al-Shifa hospital fighting Israelis. The doctor, Tanya Haj-Hassan, told him “I am just shocked that we’re still having this conversation” and went on to describe how Israel’s assault on Gazan healthcare workers is so methodical that Gazan hospital staff have been changing out of their scrubs before leaving work because Israeli troops are picking off anyone in scrubs.
The establishment media has proved it is not to be trusted. For months it has credulously recited Israeli propaganda in support of a genocide.
But that is only part of the indictment against it. Its continuing refusal to report on the mounting evidence of Israel’s perpetration of crimes against its own civilians and soldiers on 7 October suggests it has been intentionally whitewashing Israel’s slaughter in Gaza.
@ World Central Kitchen @WCKitchen We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER. 418 PM - Apr 1,2024 - 1.8M Views
reminder that if Netanyahu & the US gets away with this in #Gaza — targeting journalists, targeting hospitals and schools and refugee camps, starving millions of children, mass murder on the scale of tens of thousands, shutting down press, internet and information, killing humanitarian workers, preventing crucial aid convoy, firing on people receiving aid, and planning resettlement of regions based on ethnic identity — these methods will be normalized & advanced by other western nations & govts
IDF "executed tens of people point blank, including one of our colleagues, Dr. Ahmed al-Maqadmeh…& his mother, who's also a physician…to say that this is a strategic targeting of Hamas, is an insult to our intellect & our humanity."
"This is a direct targeting of health care workers…when they leave the hospital, civilians give them civilian clothing, b/c wearing scrubs is sticking a target…on their back. That is how systematically health care has been targeted" #alShifa https://twitter.com/tparsi/status/1774893057374052558
