We are not in a sharia court here. This is not the Islamic Republic of Iran or an Islamic caliphate.It is Washington DC where these extreme threats reverberate through the speaker, where sentences are apparently already being handed down. The demonstrators are threatening Western politicians, MPs and media, making it clear to them that they themselves will deal with the "genocide" they are "organising".It reminds me of the many fatwas and death sentences pronounced and carried out in Islamic Iran against the "enemies of Allah".They stamp, they will bring them to justice, they judge, they condemn and they ensure that some will even take action.The West really needs to take this seriously before there is no turning back.Let what happened over the past few days be a wake-up call.The signs are abundantly clear.

At this point it's willful ignorance and that is all there is to it. If someone can't see what HAMAS is doing and has done (both to Israel AND to Palestinians both before and after Oct 7th), then those people are just choosing not to see it. We can't make people, but we also don't have to listen to them either. If they only wish to say Israel is at fault because it's bombing GAZA and hospitals are at risk and babies are dying.. BUT they don't see that HAMAS has created this problem, HAMAS continues to withhold supplies, fuel, and safety by setting up in these places and then shooting at their own people, not making it safe for them to leave, telling them to stay to die a martyr. They are sabotaging their own people and blaming Israel. Israel has no obligation to stop because innocent civilians that HAMAS is putting in harms way might die. They have done more than what is reasonable to get so many people to evacuate. HAMAS has been the single biggest issue in preventing the movement of civilians out of harms way. I'd say again that isn't Israel's fault, yet "talking heads" still say Israel should stop bombing for xyz reason. HAMAS won't stop bombing.. so only suggesting Israel to stop is again ridiculous and just willful ignorance on the part of many. That won't help anyone and it certainly won't help innocent civilians get out of harms way because HAMAS has no desire to help anyone get out of harms way.. not even the premature babies!

In a webinar call with the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund on Sunday, British-Palestinian plastic surgeon Ghassan Abu Sittah delivered a harrowing testimony from Gaza on the rapidly deteriorating healthcare system in the strip.

In an emotional call, Abu Sittah said:

Right now, the Israelis have not shown any sign of humanitarianism. The brutalism of what is happening, it’s beyond belief … It’s clear that there is no intervening in this war to stop what is happening right now …
Lots of amputations. Blast injuries, the burns, the blast, dirt dust. The longterm effect is devastating because not only are we going to face the problem with the initial injuries, but also [the] delay in treatment … will mean more surgeries will be needed.
People will end up with more disabilities. In the case of children, children with war injuries need reconstruction until they stop growing …

He added:

I am at al-Ahli [Arab hospital]. I was going back and forth between al-Shifa and al-Ahli but I’ve been in al-Ahli since al-Shifa was about to collapse. This was an elective hospital. We are three surgeons here …
We don’t have access to the blood bank because the Israeli’s hit the blood bank. We have no access to al-Shifa since it was surrounded. We’re providing a rudimentary service. We’re the only show in town.”

Five U.S. Army Special Operations troops died in a refueling “mishap” with a helicopter over the eastern Mediterranean Sea, defense officials said Sunday, in an incident that U.S. officials have handled with extra care as the Biden administration attempts to keep the war in Gaza from expanding throughout the region.
Two U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said the troops were in the region as part of the Pentagon’s broader contingency planning for the war, which includes preparing for potential evacuations of U.S. citizens out of Israel and Lebanon.

The helicopter went down off the coast of southeastern Cyprus, according to one of the officials and warnings to aviators published Saturday while a search-and-rescue operation, now concluded, was underway. U.S. officials identified the helicopter that went down as an MH-60, a variant of the Black Hawk helicopter that is flown by the elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.

U.S. European Command, which oversees military operations in the area, first disclosed the incident Saturday, though it did not clarify which branch of the military or what kind of aircraft was involved. The New York Times first reported the affiliation of the service members killed on Sunday.
“Out of respect for the families affected, we will not release further information on the personnel involved at this time,” a Saturday statement said. “The cause of the training incident is currently under investigation. However, we can definitively say that the aircraft sortie was purely related to training and there are no indications of hostile activity.”

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari confirmed this evening that Israeli forces have captured Gaza's port. "Forces from the 36th Division, in cooperation with Navy forces, raided the Gaza port. They are currently in the port and in the areas to its east," he says.

BREAKING​

US conducts strikes on Iranian sites in Syria​

The US says it has carried out air strikes on two Iranian bases in south eastern Syria, following recent attacks against its own military personnel in Syria and Iraq.

In a statement, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin says: "The strikes were conducted against a training facility and a safe house near the cities of Abu Kamal and Mayadin, respectively.

"The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today's action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests."

"The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today's action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests."

On Wednesday, the US launched a "self-defence strike" on what it said was a weapons storage used by the Iranian revolutionary guard and its affiliates in the Maysulun region of eastern Syria.

Fuel offered by Israel would last half an hour, says Al-Shifa doctor​

The 300 litres of fuel offered by Israel to Al-Shifa would provide power for just half an hour, a doctor at the hospital has told the BBC.

The lack of fuel has led to a near-complete electricity outage at the hospital in recent days.

The hospital's head of surgery, Dr Marwan Abu Saada, says Al-Shifa typically uses 24,000 litres of fuel a day to run its generators.

Even with only one generator running, the hospital still requires 9,000 to 10,000 litres, he says.
“[The 300 litres] means nothing. This will run our generator just for half an hour."

Dr Abu Saada says the hospital's intensive care unit and surgical theatre are now running entirely on solar energy

The lack of power means the hospital has been unable to provide renal dialysis to its 45 patients requiring kidney treatment for two days because of a lack of power.

Over the last 30 days, Al-Shifa workers have had to dig four mass graves for unknown patients, while another 100 dead bodies are currently lying in the open outside its emergency department.

“This is a source of outbreak and infection," he says. "This is a disaster."

Third baby dies at Al-Shifa hospital, says doctor​

Tom Bateman
Reporting from Jerusalem

A doctor at Al-Shifa hospital says a third newborn baby has died in their makeshift neonatal care unit.

We reported last night how medics said two babies had already died and a further 37 were at serious risk, after the neonatal intensive care unit stopped working due to power failures.

The infants were transferred to a cardiac surgery room. The BBC was sent pictures of at least 20 babies wrapped in blankets in rows on adult beds.

“I’m afraid we are going to lose the lives of all [the] babies,” says head of surgery Dr Marwan Abu Saada in a voice note sent to us earlier.

He says the third infant died from enteritis - an inflammation of the gut to which premature babies are particularly susceptible.

Warmth vital for premature babies, neonatal expert says​


Tom Bateman
Reporting from Jerusalem

A UK-based expert in neonatal care has told the BBC that moderately pre-term babies, like those in the picture above from Al-Shifa, must be kept at the right temperature.

Dr Kevin Goss, consultant neonatologist at Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton, says most - although not all - should normally be in an incubator, and have other basic needs.

"Those babies wrapped up in those towels are relying on the ambient temperature."

"Those in the foreground are going potentially to run into trouble quickly if you don’t have a source of heat to keep them warm," he adds.

The Israeli army said yesterday it would help evacuate the babies from Al-Shifa.

Al-Shifa's head of Surgery Dr Abu Saada told me earlier there was nowhere else in Gaza that could accommodate that number of premature infants.

Dr Goss says moving babies like those in the pictures safely would normally require highly specialised equipment including transport incubators.

The hospital needs to start publicly 'outing' Hamas and demand that they return what they stole from the UNWRA and have stolen since then.
Why does Israel have to keep supplying them when they (UN, UNWRA, hospital employees, Palestinian Red Crescent, etc.) know who has the supplies ?
Confront Hamas. Demand the return of the supplies they've hoarded.
Shout it in the streets if they have to.
This is not Israel's fault.

Eta : After seeing evidence that there is electricity, the claims made by this Dr. Saada are dubious at best.

'An unbearable human tragedy is unfolding in front of our eyes' - Red Cross​

More than a million people have reportedly been displaced by the fighting in Gaza and the situation is "rapidly approaching a humanitarian disaster", according to the Red CrossImage caption: More than a million people have reportedly been displaced by the fighting in Gaza and the situation is "rapidly approaching a humanitarian disaster", according to the Red Cross.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has called for the "protection of civilians in Gaza trapped in fighting, whether they are trying to evacuate or staying where they are".

It said that hostilities between Israeli forces and Hamas were taking place in populated areas and "around hospitals".

“An unbearable human tragedy is unfolding in front of our eyes," it said, adding staff were getting calls from people "afraid to open their door for fear of getting killed and pleading to help them reach safety”.

It added that the southern Gaza Strip - where Palestinians are fleeing to escape the fighting - is "not equipped" for the waves of people moving there. The Red Cross said humanitarian aid entering the area was "largely insufficient" and refugees "lack essentials like shelter, food, water, and hygiene."

The situation is "rapidly approaching a humanitarian disaster," it added.

Pentagon chief says US hit Iran-linked sites in Syria after American troops attacked​

The Pentagon says American forces have launched fresh strikes on Iran-linked sites in eastern Syria following repeated attacks on US troops in Syria and Iraq.

A statement attributed to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says the strikes targeted a training facility and a safe house that were “used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran-affiliated groups.”

“The President has no higher priority than the safety of US personnel, and he directed today’s action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests,” Austin says.

Doctor in Gaza hospital: 'Today, I couldn't bear it'​

A doctor at the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City has described the numbers of patients arriving there as "overwhelming".

Dr Fadel Naim, an orthopaedic surgeon, has been posting regular updates on social media about the situation in the facility. Today, he posted: "We don't have a blood bank at Al-Ahli Hospital, and now our blood supply has run out."

Dr Naim added that doctors were having to perform surgeries without replacing blood lost through bleeding.

He called Al-Ahli the last functional hospital in Gaza. Al-Shifa and Al-Quds, the two biggest hospitals in Gaza, have reportedly run out of fuel (although Israel has denied that Al-Shifa is without power).

Dr Naim also said he was struggling emotionally, saying: "I am trying to hold myself together despite the difficulty of the cases I witness."

The doctor continued, "But today, I couldn't bear it and I cried from the bottom of my heart."
