I thought I saw a story before that their last operational hospital was already bombed? It's getting hard for me to keep track.
It's constantly changing. Al-Shifa was almost completely destroyed, then rebuilt by volunteers and then raided again.
Thanks, that makes sense.
like the other comment said, it's a fluid situation. It was bombed/shelled earlier, but was still operational. I think it's now been physically raided by troops, and majority of the staff has been forcibly expelled or arrested. per a news program I saw an hour ago, the hospital was turning away casualties from the overnight bombing that killed 100 people in one building, since they have no capacity to do anything at this point. I suspect the couple of staff still left are doing what they can for any patients they still have, though I know the kids that were on ventilators died when they shelled the hospital earlier, so who even knows. I unwisely watched this news program over lunch, and they had images of the children loaded into body bags 2-3 per bag, open. Those photos should be plastered all over billboards across America: this is where the bombs go.
Holy shit that's fucked
The fate of the medical workers is currently unknown. The Israeli military reportedly pulled out of the hospital on Saturday after having caused extensive damage to the facility. Earlier reports found that Israel had imprisoned the majority of the hospital’s 70 staff members and later released roughly a dozen of them, including the hospital’s director Hossam Abu Safiyeh. Israeli forces later claimed, without evidence, that they had arrested fighters at the hospital.
Israel’s siege on the hospital has had horrific consequences. At least two children died due to the Israeli military’s destruction of the oxygen station and generators on Friday. Israeli forces shelled the hospital’s courtyard and surrounded the hospital and began shooting, witnesses told Al Jazeera, while soldiers inside used the hospital speakers to call for Safiyeh. This is reportedly the 14th time Israeli forces have attacked the hospital.
Either one of these would be the subject of its own horror novel. I'm nearly driven to tears by this 2 minute read.
Someone needs to hurry and give Luffy a Wendy's 4 for $4
Is leaving one doctor like some vicious troll move? Or did they just miss him on his lunch break? (dark joke, because, what lunch, what break?) What is the 1 doc and 2.5 nurses left supposed to do with human wave of casualties that Israel creating with each high rise they level.

I never want to make a comment that could get the site in trouble. Law enforcement has no sense of humor. But when it comes to Israel I must admit I do get tempted.
