"The situation is terrifying. We have armed Israeli mobs attacking villages, burning cars & houses, killing people under the protection of the Israeli army..."
Aseel Baidoun from @medicalaidpal.bsky.social on the situation in the occupied West Bank

HRW: Israeli military forces caused deaths and unnecessary suffering of Palestinian patients while occupying hospitals in the Gaza Strip during the current hostilities, amounting to war crimes www.hrw.org/news/2025/03...
#Israel gov't blocked all aid to #Gaza, deliberately depriving civilians of food water fuel & in flagrant violation of int'l humanitarian law.
@eudiplomacy.bsky.social should wake up: muffled words, instead of much-needed action, also put civilians at further risk.
www.hrw.org/news/2025/03...
Humanitarian aid must get into #Gaza, regardless of any ceasefire. International humanitarian law & ICJ rulings are crystal clear.
Israel keeps violating both, with impunity.
Starving 2 million people is not a negotiation tactic. It’s a war crime.
Clubbed, beaten, attacked with dogs…
The Geneva Conventions prohibit the targeting of healthcare workers, both civilian & military, yet Israel has tortured, starved & withheld medical treatment from Gaza’s doctors. It’s barbaric.

Israeli authorities have denied numerous medical professionals entry into Gaza without an explanation.
Israel’s allies should urge the country to comply with its duties as the occupying power and allow health care workers into Gaza.
Our statement on the ceasefire deal: "While we hope this temporary pause will alleviate some of the suffering the Israeli military has inflicted on Gaza, it marks the beginning, not the end, of efforts to restore health, dignity and freedom to the Palestinian people." www.map.org.uk/news/archive...

A 20-day-old baby in Gaza has frozen to death, the sixth child to die from severe cold amidst extreme weather. UNRWA calls for immediate ceasefire as aid fails to reach those in dire need. #Gaza #HumanitarianDisaster #ChildDeaths #CeasefireNow #UNRWA
The BBC is in civil war over Israel and Palestine.
BBC journalists are in revolt over what they call "systematic Israeli propaganda" churned out by the Corporation.

“Time and time again we have seen Gaza’s hospitals face Israeli military attacks and sieges despite being protected under international law. The PFBS is now one of the only operating hospitals left in northern Gaza”.

Deserving of more coverage: “I think that has been grossly exaggerated, but we need to be able to demonstrate very clearly what the level of military presence was, if at all, in these hospitals because I think we’ve been misled about that in the press.”

The link to the full Amnesty report into genocide perpetrated by Israel. Read considerable parts of this. Impressive and distressing. www.amnesty.org.uk/genocide-rep...
This new decree, halting the training of new female healthcare workers, will result in unnecessary pain, misery, sickness, and death for the women forced to go without health care, as there won’t be female healthcare workers to treat them. www.hrw.org/news/2024/12...

Sadly our colleague who was interviewed for this missed watching the match with others at Nasser Hospital due to the risk of drones outside his house and a lack of electricity and WiFi.

Extremely disturbing first-hand testimony to Parliament from a retired NHS surgeon who spent Aug-Sep in Gaza. "The drones would come down and pick off civilians—children. We had description after description. This is not an occasional thing." committees.parliament.uk/oralevidence...
“You cannot witness what is happening in Gaza and not emerge enraged and determined to stop it”

This incl Israeli leaders for war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza.
