Possible confirmation bias. How would she know the source of the blast that injured her while traveling in a bus? JMO.

Not only that, but they're not showing her injured hand, either. I'd think they'd make it a point to show that. jmo

 

[justtrish]

IDK, it just struck me as odd that they don't look sick, injured, or malnourished (or even dirty). jmo

All JMO, but what if surveillance of this complex has been ongoing and plenty of young, healthy men who aren't sick and don't seem to be sheltering there are just coming and going.. might seem suspicious and with other intel saying that HAMAS uses this complex so it would appear that maybe some of these young, heathy, clean men could need to be screened.

I wasn't confused.. my inner 12 year old boy brain just sorta had a moment.. it happens.

And I thought you were a girl!

Oh my goodness Brightchaser! The poor girl, do you think she is an actor?

They, the CNN, do show her hand. Click on the main article and there is also a video. I haven’t watched the video, I will find it too upsetting.

Sorry, I'm not able to view that video at the moment. But, as a gesture of goodwill, I'll take your word for it.

That's what entered my mind when they mentioned bulldozers. They're gonna be awhile...imo

We are bombarded by propaganda by every side of this conflict.
Everybody seems to trust only one side - the side chosen.

JMO

Yep. That's why I said possible confirmation bias by the wounded girl in Gaza.

Without any information that either confirms or refutes her claim that it was the IDF that attacked her bus I'm leaving my opinion at "possible." JMO.

I wonder how long it will take them to process the laptop, and what all is on it. I imagine they will release whatever content they can that does not compromise operations, since they seem to have been keeping the public informed up to this point:

Gaza’s last remaining flour mill, the As Salam Mill in Deir Al Balah, was reportedly hit and destroyed on Wednesday, the UN’s humanitarian affairs office (OHCA) has said in its latest update on the conflict. It said:

This was the last functioning mill in Gaza, and its destruction means that locally produced flour will not be available in Gaza in the foreseeable future.

It noted that Gaza’s telecoms companies had also announced the “gradual cessation of all communication and internet services in the Strip” on Wednesday, as they exhausted fuel supplies to power generators. It warned:

Humanitarian agencies and first responders have warned that blackouts jeopardize the provision of life-saving assistance.

"Prime Minister of Spain:​

'We will recognize the statehood of Palestine'.​

'If a vote of confidence is obtained,
my third cabinet will take action to recognize the Palestinian state',

announced Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in the Congress of Deputies on Wednesday.

At the beginning of his more than an hour and a half speech,
Sanchez announced that his new cabinet intended to
'work for the recognition of a Palestinian state'.

He emphasized that it is also necessary to stop the violence in the Middle East as quickly as possible.

'Together with Israel, we condemn the attack it suffered.

We demand the immediate release of the hostages,

but at the same time we oppose the mass killing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and support the delivery of the necessary humanitarian aid there',
Sanchez said."

A bit more from the OCHA statement, in which the UN agency says that the Ministry of Health in Gaza did not update the death toll for the fifth consecutive day on Wednesday, due to the collapse in communications and in hospital services in the territory.

As of 10 November the death toll was 11,078, of whom 4,506 were said to be children and 3,027 women. Another 27,490 Palestinians have reportedly been injured.

The statement also noted that Palestinians fleeing northern Gaza have reported dead bodies lying in the streets and that as of 10 November, about 2,700 people including 1,500 children remain missing and are presumed to be dead or trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society has reported that it has been unable to respond to hundreds of calls to assist and evacuate people wounded or trapped under the rubble.

There was an IDF video posted a couple weeks ago, showing a 3-D rendering of what is supposedly underneath the hospital, offices, etc. iirc. I can’t seem to find it on IDF’s Twitter right now. It wasn’t an aerial map of buildings. The rendering would be handy right now.

Silence your guns, says UN humanitarian chief in ceasefire plea​

Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths has urged both sides in the conflict to "silence their guns" in a fresh appeal for a ceasefire in Gaza.

"Silence the guns. Stop the fighting to allow the people to move safely," he said at a news conference.

"Do it for as long as possible. Allow them to move safely on their own, not hindered, and not pushed.

"And silence those guns long enough to give the people of Gaza a breather from the terrible, terrible things that have been put upon them these last few weeks."

Griffiths also urged Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing in Israel - currently aid can only be transported into Gaza through the Rafah crossing from Egypt.

Sewage and water pumps stop working in Rafah due to fuel shortage - UN​

All three sewage pumps and 10 water pumps in the southern Gazan town of Rafah have stopped working because they have ran out of fuel, according to Gaza chief of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Thomas White.

Israel has been blocking fuel deliveries to Gaza since the conflict began over a month ago, arguing that they could be used by Hamas for military purposes.
A senior UN official said Gaza had received 23,000 litres (5,060 gallons) of fuel via Egypt's Rafah crossing today - but warned that Israeli authorities had restricted its use to transporting aid into Gaza.

However, Gaza also needs fuel to run sewage pumping stations, hospitals, bakeries, electricity generators and other key facilities.

Thousands of Palestinians have flocked to Rafah, which neighbours Egypt, over the past few weeks, as it is the only point officials have allowed people to leave Gaza and humanitarian aid to enter.

At least a demand to release the hostages and a condemnation of the attack are mentioned, as opposed to other statements from other countries/entities:

“‘Together with Israel, we condemn the attack it suffered.

We demand the immediate release of the hostages, but at the same time we oppose the mass killing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and support the delivery of the necessary humanitarian aid there’, Sanchez said."

In pictures: Rain falls on camps of displaced Palestinians​

The UN has said the rainfall today will make the situation worse for thousands of displaced people living in camps in Gaza, many of whom are sheltering in tents.
Here are some of the pictures coming out of Khan Younis where many Palestinians have moved after fleeing the north of the Strip.
