Scary...
The video is very emotion provoking.
Sadly, if/when he ever comes to his senses, it may be too little, too late. It’s already too late for thousands of innocent Palestinians. IMO.
I read, lordy don't ask for a link, so it's moo. The hospital said it used 300 litters per hour. I do think it was a test. But Hamas wants a truck load. Moo
Why does the world continue to allow Hamas to get away with this? It is horrific.12m ago

Dozens of corpses lay on the courtyard outside Gaza’s largest hospital, covering the ground next to a blue refrigerated truck that had long ceased to be able to keep the bodies cool.
Most of the bodies were shrouded in colourful blankets originally meant for the living, after the hospital ran out of white bodybags. A severely burnt arm protruded from one of the blankets. Elsewhere, according to video footage seen by the Guardian, the charred body of a child was visible among the soft folds of the material.
“We are under siege,” said Munir al-Boursh, a doctor who is also a Palestinian health ministry undersecretary, speaking from inside Dar al-Shifa hospital. The hospital had intended to dig a mass grave, until Israeli tanks and snipers encircled the the complex on Friday, making movement around it impossible.
Six hundred patients as well as 200 to 500 health workers, and about 1,500 displaced people are seeking shelter at the hospital, according to information shared with the World Health Organization. Six bombardments struck the hospital complex in recent days, including the intensive care unit, doctors have said. Boursh said:

But why is it that there is so much fighting around the hospital and why the power was cut?
Maybe the UN can borrow fuel from Hamas.4 min ago
UN agency says it will not be able to facilitate aid deliveries to Gaza on Tuesday due to lack of fuel
From CNN’s Niamh Kennedy in London
The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said it has no fuel to fill its trucks in Gaza and will not be able to facilitate aid deliveries through the Rafah crossing on Tuesday.
Thomas White, director of UNRWA Affairs in the Gaza Strip, told a press briefing Monday that the agency had about 80 trucks in its fleet that have been transporting aid through the Rafah crossing, which connects Egypt to Gaza.
UNRWA had issued similarly bleak warnings regarding its dwindling fuel supplies on October 25. At the time it said that if it did not receive fuel deliveries within one day it would be forced to halt operations in Gaza.
During Monday’s briefing, White explained that for the past two and a half weeks, the agency had been using fuel from a strategic reservoir inside Gaza after brokering access with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). That reservoir, which receives fuel from a pipeline to Egypt and has a one-million-liter capacity, has now run completely dry, according to White.
UNRWA had been “signaling to various interlocutors” for the past few days that the reservoir’s supplies were set to run out, White said.
Negotiations to refuel the reservoir are currently “stalled” at the “highest level of the Israeli government,” he added.
CNN has reached out to the Israeli government for comment.
UNRWA’s aid operation in Gaza has been “strangled of resources,” White stressed, warning that the situation is “going to get exceptionally tough” in the coming days.
The agency will be forced to entirely halt some services, including desalination plants and waste removal, he said. There is a “real potential” that free-flowing waste in the streets will lead to a “devastating” cholera outbreak in Gaza, White warned.

Conditions at the Al-Shifa hospital, the largest in Gaza, are "catastrophic" as essential units have collapsed, the facility's director told CNN.edition.cnn.com
My heart is breaking for the mother that gave birth in that underground dungeon. I cannot imagine I hope the baby and mother survived.
Hamas was founded in 1987.

Biden says al-Shifa hospital 'must be protected'
Joe Biden has said that Gaza’s largest hospital “must be protected” and called for “less intrusive action” by Israeli forces.
Hundreds of patients, including dozens of babies, remain trapped inside al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, in the north of Gaza, as Israeli troops and Hamasmilitants take part in heavy fighting outside it.
At least 32 patients, including three premature babies, had died over the past three days, Gaza’s health ministry said.
The US president, speaking in the Oval Office on Monday, said:
The Israeli military has said it was providing safe corridors for people to escape intense fighting in the north and move south, but Palestinian officials inside Shifa have said the compound was surrounded by constant heavy gunfire.

Yeah, but you know those links and the sites they lead to are lies too, just like everything else.

Well no. He called for "less intrusive" action. If the hospital were still considered a bonified "Protected Structure" (it's not), then the President would be calling for "NO action" to happen as it would be a war crime for the IDF to do anything in/under the hospital. It's a war crime to take any action against a Protected Structure.
