Images posted by Israeli occupation soldiers on their social media accounts depict them using Noura Kaabi Dialysis #Hospital as a military headquarters in northern Gaza, and using the yard of the Indonesian Hospital as a parking area for tanks. Another image shows an Israeli soldier posing for a photo after setting Palestinian houses on fire.
This is what West is supporting: "In Gaza, if you ask me, instead of taking them to the south, we should have told them to go to the beaches. Then the navy would know how to load them (onto boats). Put them in the refugee camps with their brothers in #Lebanon... Leave Gaza with nothing in it."
Head of the #Metula municipality, a northern Israeli settlement near Lebanon, David Azulay, suggests in a podcast to completely ethnically cleanse Palestinians in Gaza and make it a place "like #Auschwitz."
Daily briefing by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on day 239 of the Israeli #genocide:
⭕ The Israeli occupation committed 5 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, resulting in 95 documented fatalities and 350 injuries.
⭕ The documented Palestinian death toll has risen to 36,379 martyrs and 82,407 injuries since the seventh of last October.
⭕ The figures above only refer to the cases transported to #hospitals and registered in the records of the Ministry of Health.
⭕ An unknown number of victims are still unaccounted for or missing under the rubble, as ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.
13-year-old Abdelqader Al-Sarhi has died in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, due to malnutrition and lack of medical treatment amidst the closure of the Rafah border crossing.
I'm ashamed to live in a world that allows this to happen.
The the morning of May 11, the #Israeli army spokesperson announced that the #military had begun a new operation in #Jabalia, the city and adjacent refugee camp in northern #Gaza. Evacuation orders were issued to #Palestinian residents of several neighborhoods, but many have been unable to leave; others have decided to stay, given the lack of any safe areas throughout the Strip.
The latest Israeli attack on the camp, involving both aircraft and ground troops, has had devastating consequences: the #army has bombed and bulldozed entire residential squares, markets, and food warehouses, exacerbating the already desperate humanitarian crisis, while corpses remain scattered in the streets.
Sabri Abu Al-Nasr, 43 years old, is a resident of the camp who took refuge in the #UNRWA-affiliated Al-Fakhoura #School, in an attempt to escape the Israeli bombing. “The conditions in the camp are terrible, and no one is spared from the artillery and air bombardment,” he told +972. “Israeli snipers are on high buildings — they shoot at every moving object.
On Oct. 29, Abu Al-Nasr lost his wife Nisreen (40) and his children Nisma (16), Hamza (14), and Mohammad (13) when Israel bombed a residential square adjacent to the family’s home. Their bodies remain trapped under the rubble, preventing Abu al-Nasr from being able to properly bury his loved ones. Seven months later, amid a new Israeli assault, he says “the smell of death and blood wafts throughout the camp.”
Director Matthew Hollingworth of the World Food Programme (#WFP) describes the situation in southern Gaza’s #Rafah as dire, stating, "The sounds and smells of everyday life are horrific and apocalyptic."
He further explains that residents endure constant bombing, drones, and the presence of tanks in central Rafah, just kilometers away from where Palestinians have sought refuge.
During a virtual briefing with reporters, Hollingworth recounts the desperation of many Palestinians he spoke with, questioning whether to leave, attempt to cross the border into Egypt, or return to Gaza City. They express uncertainty about accessing aid in their time of need.
The Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza says over 1,000 homes have been destroyed as a result of the recent Israeli ground onslaught on #Jabalia refugee camp.
The camp was one of the first refuge camps built after UK handed over Palestine to Jewish immigrants from Europe in 48 that led to creation of state of Israel followed by the ethnic cleansing of most of what is today the state of Israel.
US State Department official resigns, says US report on #Gaza inaccurate
A U.S. State Department official who quit this week said on Thursday her resignation was precipitated by an administration report to #Congress that she said falsely stated #Israel was not blocking #humanitarian aid to Gaza, prompting her to resign in protest of President Joe #Biden's Israel policy.
Stacy Gilbert, who served in the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, was a subject matter expert working on the report.
"There is so clearly a right and wrong, and what is in that report is wrong," Gilbert said in an interview.
