Gaza’s Health Ministry says the official death toll has topped 50,000 as Israel continues to bombard and blockade the territory, but it is widely believed the actual death toll is far higher. On Sunday, Israeli forces bombed a surgical unit at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis — the largest functioning hospital in Gaza. The attack killed two people, including Ismail Barhoum, a member of Hamas’s political bureau. Hamas said he was at the hospital for treatment for injuries suffered in an earlier Israeli strike. A 16-year-old boy was also killed in the hospital attack. The American trauma surgeon Feroze Sidhwa was at Nasser Hospital at the time of the attack and said the teenager killed was his patient.

Dr. Feroze Sidhwa: “You know, I’ve certainly never had a patient injured in an explosion, brought to the hospital, taken care of, doing well, ready to go home, and then blown up in his hospital bed. That’s a first. And that should be what we call in medicine a ‘never event.’ That’s not really supposed to happen. I just — I can’t emphasize enough, it just doesn’t matter who is in the hospital. It’s not legal to blow it up. It’s not legal to kill people in here. It’s not legal to attack people in here. It’s not ethical. It’s completely crazy.”

      Nope. “Stop supporting Israel” was not on the ballot, just like many other good ideas weren’t.

      Voting for Harris was supposed to prevent a whole bunch of other harm, though.

      No, voting for Trump was, that’s what Lemmy told me. I’m really glad you guys campaigned for Trump so aggressively. Things are so much better for Gazans, Transgender folks, immigrants, Ukrainians, women, everyone really.

      Thank you so much for teaching the Democrats a lesaon.

        You had decades to try to make a valid alternative to the two imperialist parties. You keep getting disapointed and switch between democrats and republicans so they keep ignoring all what you need to improve your countries. Maybe trump will be a blessing in desguise and make you finally pay for all the coups you helped, sll the countries you destroyed and profiting fron your allies. Maybe, countries will stop being dependent of your empire.

        You a fool if in the ground the usa would have opposed anything Israel is doing now now to palestinians

        Not only did they campain for trump, but literally voting for a plastic bag was a better decision than Harris for them.

        Cause they actually CARED for other people, unlike you and me stupid ignorant Americans who wouldnt even know know freedom if it was on smothered until of out mountain of hotdogs!!! The TRUE patriots made sure the correct Orange man one cause it was the best solution for the world and were just to blinded by our dumb American ideas ruined by our big DUMB cars.

        Maybe one day we can see the right path and start just cursing out people we don’t agree with like true smart educated lemmy commentators
