Graphic design artist Moataz Abu Sakran/ @moatazart has provided extensive documentation of the genocide against Gaza. His photos and videos have been used—often without credit—by major media outlets, and his posts are featured on this blog regularly.

Moataz and his wife and baby girl are trapped in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital complex. The area has was under complete siege for 13 days, and made life even more difficult and dangerous than before. In addition to the physical violence of the siege, the occupation’s famine has made food extremely scarce—Moataz and Mariam can no longer find milk and nutritious food for baby Maria.

They were able to raise enough funds to begin the paperwork involved in evacuating to Egypt, but exorbitant processing fees have totally depleted the money they had reserved to find a place to stay in Egypt. They need funds to procure food and shelter while they rebuild their lives in Egypt (God willing), otherwise they will be homeless and destitute.

There was an increase in donations after we initially shared the link on this blog. We are hoping that will happen again. Please support Moataz’s family via this link so that they can reach safety. Even just a few dollars will help. If you can’t donate, please share the link on all your social media accounts.

This is the primary link to donate and share. You can copy and paste it onto other posts and social media sites.

Al-Shifa’s legacy destroyed: “This is such a sad day, I’ve been weeping all morning.” Norwegian Dr Mads Gilbert says

Norwegian physician Dr Mads Gilbert, who has spent extensive time working in Gaza, including at al-Shifa hospital, says the siege of the facility has destroyed its legacy. “The Israeli occupation forces this night have ended 78 years of brave medical history,” Gilbert told Al Jazeera, speaking from Tromso, Norway. The hospital was built in 1946 and was the most important flagship hospital for the healthcare for people in Gaza, he said. “This is such a sad day, I’ve been weeping all morning.” Meanwhile, the fate of the 107 critical patients who were moved two days ago to an old part of the medical complex remains unknown, Gilbert said. People are now searching for corpses at the site, finding “the most horrible decomposed corpses with maggots coming out of the eyes”. “The maggots that are creeping out of the corpses in al-Shifa Hospital now are really maggots coming out of the eyes of President Biden and the EU leaders doing nothing to stop this horrible, horrible genocide,” the physician said.

From 16 Nov WH Press Briefing

Q: Can you just detail for us what kind of evidence the U.S. has seen that Hamas has a command center under Al-Shifa Hospital? Biden: No, I can’t tell you. I won’t tell you. Journalist: Do you feel absolutely confident based on what you know — Biden: Yes. Journalist: — that that is the truth? Biden: Yes. Journalist: And, Mr. President, after today, would you still refer to President Xi as a “dictator”? This is a term that you used earlier this year. Biden: Well, look, he is. I mean, he’s a dictator in the sense that he — he is a guy who runs a country that — it’s a communist country that is based on a form of government totally different than ours. Anyway, we made progress.

Al-Shifa Hospital is besieged by the Israeli occupation army... again!

جيش الاحتلال النازي يُحاصر مستشفى الشفاء في مدينة غزة مرَّة أخرى!

The world's silence about what Israel did to Al-Shifa Hospital the first time, including siege, storming, and arresting doctors, patients, and displaced persons, bombing its buildings, and putting it out of service. Then the silence regarding the siege of the hospital for the second and third time..

All of this allowed Israel to do whatever it wanted, to kill everyone it wanted... to arrest everyone it wanted... and to put international laws under its feet.

مَـنٔ لِـعزةَ وأهلِها في هذا العَـالَـم؟..

Multiple sources report that the IOF, while simultaneously bombarding with planes and drones, is storming Al-Shifa Hospital Complex with ground troops and tanks. They are shooting into the hospital and at least one building is on fire. The situation is still developing and I will update as I get more information.

Al-Shifa Hospital is a ‘big prison’, says director

Nov 17th, 12:25 GMT

As Israel continues its raid of al-Shifa Hospital, the director of al-Shifa says the medical compound has become a “big prison” and a “mass grave” for all those inside.

Muhammed Abu Salmiya tells Al Jazeera that there are 7,000 people in the hospital and staff are still working to help patients but they “lost all those who were in the intensive care unit”.

“We are left with nothing, no power, no food, no water. with every passing minute, we are losing a life. Overnight we lost 22 persons, [and] for the past three days the hospital has been kept under siege,” Salmiya said.

He added that they have appealed to leave the hospital but are being denied by Israeli forces.

“It’s a war crime. A full-fledged war crime,” he said.

"The words of our martyrs, scrawled on the walls of Al Shifa Hospital on each of the 14 days that the medical complex was under Zionist siege. In photographing the remains of the hospital, reporters and residents have found messages from doctors, staff, and patients alike, as well as Palestinians who lost their homes and were sheltering within the hospital’s walls.

May every martyr’s words be a torch on the path to liberation. May we never forgive or forget."

Al Shifa Hospital is under attack. Doctors and journalists in the hospital and surrounding areas are saying that the occupation army is not only bombing the hospital but they have entered from the southern entrance. These are all war crimes.
