The health system is crumbling, they're calling repeatedly for help and fuel and they're not getting either. I cannot believe I'm watching this happen in real life, in real time, in this fucking century.

People are still saying, "but Hamas" "Oct 7th" "Israel has the right to defend itself" after the amount of mass graves discovered? MASS GRAVES?

This world is truly khalas.

repost from @amnestyuk:

Last week, 179 healthcare workers from across the UK gathered outside St Thomas’ Hospital to demand freedom and justice for the 179 Palestinian healthcare workers who are detained without charge or trial by Israeli forces.

Among those in secret detention is Dr. Khaled Al Serr, who was taken in March this year from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. His family have yet to see him or hear from him.

These healthcare heroes should be saving lives, not facing torture or being criminalised. We urgently call on the UK government to demand the Israeli authorities reveal the whereabouts of these healthcare workers and release them immediately.

The Biden White House has also said they want “answers”:

“We want answers,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters. “We want to see this thoroughly and transparently investigated.” A spokesperson for the US State Department also said Washington was continuing to press Israel for more information.

As with most things claimed by a Hamas-run organization, the problem here is that the mass grave was actually dug in January 2024 – but not by the IDF:

Analyses by Sky News and independent analysts of satellite imagery and footage published online found that claims spread by Hamas and Arabic media that the IDF had dug mass graves at the Nasser hospital in Gaza were false as the graves were made before the IDF entered the complex. Hamas, Al-Jazeera, and several news agencies claimed in recent days that the IDF had dug mass graves in order to “hide” the bodies of Palestinians after entering the Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis.

Here’s more from the Times of Israel:

The IDF, in its response, said that during its operation in the area of Nasser Hospital in recent months, troops examined corpses that had been buried by Palestinians on the medical center’s grounds, “as part of an effort to locate hostages.” The military said it operated in a “targeted manner,” only where it had intelligence that Israeli hostages may have been buried.

And yet, the U.S. encountered only sporadic use of hospitals in Afghanistan and Iraq. That does not appear to be the case in Gaza, where in almost every hospital the IDF has arrived at, it has uncovered and published military use by Hamas.

The terrorist group purposefully and systematically developed a strategy to use Gaza's hospitals for military purposes. Hamas knows the laws of war, it knows the public sensitivity, and it exploits those to both hamper the IDF's actions and invite international condemnation.

In Gaza's largest medical complex, the Al-Shifa hospital, the IDF found evidence that hostages were held there. They also found Hamas military weapons, ammunition, and equipment in many of the buildings in the complex. Most concerning was the presence of a large Hamas tunnel with a full command and control architecture utilizing the hospital's power sources that had been constructed purposely under the hospital grounds.

Meanwhile, Hamas was filmed firing at the IDF from within Sheikh Hamad Hospital. More Hamas militants fired a rocket-propelled grenade in front of the Al-Quds Hospital, then immediately ran inside.

The IDF found vehicles used in the October 7 massacre and a Hamas-built tunnel under the Indonesian Hospital. Weapons, ammunition, equipment, another tunnel, and evidence of hostages were found in the Al-Rantisi Hospital. Weapons hidden in incubators and evidence of a Hamas command center and base were found at the Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Most recently, the IDF found over 20 Hamas combatants who had taken part in the October 7 attacks hiding inside of the Al-Nasser Hospital in Southern Gaza. They also found vehicles used in the attack, Hamas weapons, and evidence that Israeli hostages had been held there.

To date, Israel has followed the rules when interacting with hospitals. It has provided warning before acting against hospitals suspected of Hamas use. And it has gone beyond the requirements of the law. It has facilitated evacuation, provided its own supplies to those present in the hospital, and helped provide alternative medical facilities until the ones being searched can restore full activities.

Perhaps most importantly, it appears that Israel has refrained so far from attacking hospitals from the air, even where it would be lawful to do so.

Instead, the IDF has sent in ground forces to search and destroy military infrastructure inside hospitals and detain terrorists hiding in them. It has sent doctors, Arabic speakers, and other specially trained staff to assist hospital staff and patients while the IDF is present. And it has left hospitals as quickly as possible, allowing them to resume full operations.

The fact that the International Committee of the Red Cross, World Health Organization, and United Nations have made public statements condemning Israel for searching hospitals, and never condemn Hamas for using the hospitals in the first place, is telling. During the war, and even more importantly, before the war, these organizations could have focused their efforts on stopping Hamas from exploiting hospitals and putting staff and patients in danger. Doing so would not only avoid the need for the IDF to operate within and near hospitals but would also send a message to all terrorist organizations that the world will not accept them putting in danger the very people who most need protection.
