Israeli forces give al-Shifa Hospital one hour to evacuate: Source

Nov 18th, 06:20 GMT

A medical source has told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces have given everyone at al-Shifa Hospital – including doctors, patients and displaced people – an hour to evacuate the medical compound.

We’ll provide more information as soon as we get it.

Impossible to evacuate everyone at al-Shifa within an hour, doctor says

Nov 18th, 06:37 GMT

Youmna ElSayed, reporting from Khan Younis, southern Gaza

We spoke to a doctor inside al-Shifa Hospital, who told us the Israeli army has given everyone at al-Shifa Hospital, just one hour to evacuate through al-Rashid street, which is what we call the “sea street”.

It’s not the usual street or route that people evacuating to the south are supposed to take, they usually take Salah al-Din Road, but they were asked to evacuate in one hour.

The doctor is also saying it is impossible to evacuate all these people in one hour, especially since they do not have any ambulances to transfer the patients and premature babies to the south. This is what he called “a crisis”, to ask them to evacuate in one hour.

‘A great state of panic and fear’ at al-Shifa Hospital

Nov 18th, 07:25 GMT

Youmna ElSayed, reporting from Khan Younis, southern Gaza

Our source at al-Shifa Hospital has been telling us that there’s a great state of panic and fear among the patients, medical staff and families [following the Israeli army’s order to evacuate the medical complex within one hour].

They consider this decision, this order, to be an impossible decision to make because they have no ambulances functioning to take that great number of patients to the south.

The Israeli army has not provided them with any other solutions, with any means of transportation, with any fuel for ambulances or for any cars to transfer those patients, premature babies, displaced families, to the south as they were ordered to do.

When this same incident happened with al-Quds Hospital, doctor Bashar Murad asked the Israeli army many times to provide ambulances, transportation means, to at least provide fuel so that they can use buses to transport the patients, but there was no answer from the Israeli army; they ordered them to take the patients on foot.

The doctors in the end had to evacuate those patients in hospital beds and push them through the streets to the other side.

But at al-Shifa Hospital, the situation is a bit different because there are a lot more patients – over 300. According to our medical sources, most of them are in critical condition and they cannot make the trip on beds to the south.

Forced evacuation of al-Shifa Hospital begins, emergency supervisor says

Nov 18th, 08:22

Earlier we reported that Israeli forces had given everyone at al-Shifa Hospital – including doctors, patients and displaced people, one hour to leave the medical compound.

Omar Zaqout says he and others have been forced to leave the hospital by Israeli forces, and that scenes outside the facility were “appalling”.

“We were told to leave through al-Wehda road. Dozens of dead bodies are scattered on the road,” he told Al Jazeera. “Many homeless people who cannot walk are left out in the open.”

Zaquot said the water supply at al-Shifa has been out for more than a week, leading to what he called an “absence of hygiene and cleanliness”.

“The electrical power has been out more than three weeks. Infants and newborn babies are left without oxygen. It is nothing but a medieval cave,” he said.

‘Horrible, unprecedented, humiliating’: Health official on evacuation order from al-Shifa

Nov 18th, 08:48 GMT

Munir al-Barsh, director general of Gaza’s Health Ministry, gives his account of the Israeli army’s forced evacuation of the medical facility, giving those inside one hour to leave.

The Israeli army called at about 9am [7:00 GMT], warning that all those leaving had to wave a white handkerchief and walk in a single-file line.

“They were humiliated by soldiers all along the road,” al-Barsh said.

About 450 patients were evacuated, while about 120 patients were left behind because they were immobile. To assist them, the hospital’s director, four other doctors and a small group of nurses remained. They were promised that a UN delegation would be dispatched at about 11am [9:00 GMT] to take care of those remaining behind, al-Barsh explained.

“We were forced to leave. Many of the patients were put on wheelchairs or rolling beds. Family members were forced to carry their wounded children or parents themselves.

“These are horrible, unprecedented scenes,” the doctor said.

Silence from Israel military on forced evacuation of al-Shifa

Nov 18th, 09:00 GMT

Rory Challands, reporting from occupied East Jerusalem

No information at all is coming from the Israeli government or official sources at the moment on the Israeli army’s actions at the hospital.

Only the Israeli media is reporting that this evaluation is taking place, and they are citing reporting from news organisations like Al Jazeera and other Palestinian sources.

Forced to leave al-Shifa at gunpoint, doctor says

Nov 18th, 09:05 GMT

Adnan al-Barsh, head of orthopaedics at al-Shifa Hospital, has told Al Jazeera “there’s not a single hospital or medical facility in service in northern Gaza Strip”.

“The Baptist Hospital is besieged; the Indonesian Hospital is already out of service without any resources left or medical supplies. We as doctors, we did all that we could until the last minute in order to save the victims,” he said.

“We were adamant on not leaving without our patients … we were forced to leave at gunpoint,” he said, adding that Israeli snipers are inside and around the hospital complex.

Israel denies ordering al-Shifa evacuation

Nov 18th, 09:23 GMT

The Israeli army denies that it ordered patients and medical staff to evacuate al-Shifa Hospital.

“It should be emphasized that at no point did the IDF ask to evacuate patients or medical teams,” reads a statement from the military.

The army claimed instead that it “responded to the request of the director of Shifa Hospital” to allow those sheltering in the medical facility and who wished to evacuate to leave through “a secure axis”.

The army “even suggested that whenever there is a request to coordinate a medical evacuation, we will work to facilitate it and transfer the patients to other hospitals”.

The statement was in stark contrast to accounts provided to Al Jazeera by the hospital’s supervisor, a health official and a doctor. They said they received a one-hour deadline for evacuation and were forced to leave.

Gaza hospitals director rejects Israeli statement on al-Shifa evacuation

Nov 18th, 09:30 GMT

Mohammed Zaqout insists that Israeli forces gave staff and patients at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza the order to evacuate this morning.

“I categorically deny these false allegations [that no evacuation was requested] … despite the difficult situation, the medical staff were working and operating … we were forced to leave at gunpoint,” he told Al Jazeera.

Moreover, Zaqout said that a list of critical patients has been handed to the Red Cross to be taken to Egypt for treatment, but that he is still awaiting updates on the issue.

Palestinian Authority: Evacuation of al-Shifa a ‘crime’

Nov 18th, 09:55 GMT

The PA’s foreign ministry issued a statement condemning the Israeli army’s occupation and evacuation of al-Shifa Hospital.

“The evacuation of al-Shifa deepens the humanitarian and environmental catastrophe Gaza faces and the great pressure that will increase on hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip,” the statement reads.

Israel’s actions represent “another hideous facet of the crimes of ethnic cleansing and genocide committed by the occupation forces against Palestinians,” it continues.

‘Another war crime’: Gaza media official on al-Shifa evacuation

Nov 18th, 10:10 GMT

Ismail al-Thawabta, the director general of the government media office in Gaza, says a number of patients forced to evacuate from al-Shifa Hospital were in such critical condition that they may not survive the journey to another medical facility.

“All are going to die simply because they require swift medical attention,” al-Thawabta told Al Jazeera.

The official also said that those inside the hospital were forced to leave at gunpoint and were humiliated.

“This is another war crime,” he said.

More from journalist Shanab

Nov 18th, 10:20 GMT

Here are more translated comments for you from journalist Jihad Abu Shanab.

Many who were forced to leave al-Shifa Hospital were unable to find transportation and forced to leave on foot.

Patients left behind at the hospital are in very critical condition and cannot be moved haphazardly. They require special care and protocols to be moved.

It remains unclear what would become of them, including the premature infants.

What happened at al-Shifa Hospital?

Nov 18th, 10:45 GMT

Al Jazeera has gathered a number of voices from inside Gaza to piece together what happened this morning at the al-Shifa Hospital. Here are the main takeaways:

The emergency room supervisor Omar Zaqout has told Al Jazeera that the Israeli army ordered everyone at al-Shifa Hospital – including doctors, patients and displaced people – to evacuate the medical compound in one hour through the al-Wehda road.

The Israeli army has denied it ordered the evacuation, claiming instead that it responded to a request by the hospital’s director to let those wishing to leave to take a secure route out. It added that it notified medics in the hospital that they were ready to facilitate the transfer of patients.

The Israeli claims were refuted by Mohammed Zaqout, director of Gaza hospitals, who insisted patients were forced to leave at gunpoint. Munir al-Barsh, director-general of Gaza’s Health Ministry and Adnan al-Barsh, head of orthopaedics at the hospital, provided the same account.

Evacuees were ordered at 9am [7:00 GMT] to leave while waving a white handkerchief and walk in a single-file line, the health official said.

About 450 patients were evacuated, while about 120 patients were left behind with five doctors, including the director and a few nurses, because they were immobile, al-Barsh said.

Zaqout said that a list of critical patients has been handed to the Red Cross to be taken to Egypt for treatment, but that he is still awaiting updates on the issue.

Al-Barsh, the doctor, added that Israeli snipers are inside and around the hospital complex.

Ismail al-Thawabta, the director general of the government media office in Gaza, says a number of patients forced to evacuate al-Shifa Hospital were in such critical condition that they may not survive the journey to another medical facility.

Several accounts describe family members pushing rolling hospital beds and wheelchairs, others were walking on crunches as they try to make it further south.

Al-Shifa now ‘deserted’: Hospital director

Nov 18th, 11:15 GMT

Speaking to Al Jazeera from al-Shifa, Director Muhammad Abu Salmiya says only he and a few others, including staff and patients, were left at Gaza’s largest hospital.

Here are his translated comments:

The hospital is completely deserted. Some of the remaining patients and victims are lying in the corridor.

The centre of the hospital is surrounded by Israeli soldiers. They are in total control. Even we, the very few medical staff that remain, cannot move freely.

Many of those in critical conditions, including newborns and kidney patients, will die imminently if they are not evacuated.

Food at the hospitals is also running out.

Israeli army checkpoint only allows women to flee to south Gaza: Journalist

Nov 18th, 11:26 GMT

The Israeli occupying forces set up a checkpoint where men are denied access to the south, while women are allowed to leave.”

“The Israeli occupation forces yesterday exhumed the graves we made inside the hospital yard; they took away more than 100 dead bodies who were already buried. In addition to that, all those victims who recently died were denied burial as Israeli forces refused to have them buried inside the hospital.

“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.

Okay can I be a bitter Anders fan for like. Just 2 minutes here lmao

Cause bioware released some game stats for veilguard and apparently 72% of players redeemed Solas which is like. Okay yeah the game kinda pushes you towards that. But when I think of all the shit I used to have to put up with just for enjoying Anders like at all and…

(This is not me being anti-Solas, I do not care if you love or hate him, but I am gonna say what he’s done is like. Objectively worse than literally every other companion so lmao. And that’s fine! You can still enjoy him! I’m not saying you can’t and it’s important to me that people understand that! I’m just saying he did in fact do objectively morally worse things in game than Anders did and I don’t think that’s really debatable. And I can’t really make my point here without saying that but I do want to make it clear this is not some moral condemnation of Solas enjoyers cause it’s not)

Getting anon hate on the regular, being told “oh you’re allowed to like Anders as long as you regularly talk about how much he sucks”, people gleefully describing how much fun they have killing him ON your posts about the fact that you like him, the devs making jokes about shitty fates for him when fans asked innocent questions about him, the absolute audacity of his writer to say half the shit she did in interviews (about bisexuality and mental illness, most critically), and then being beaten over the head again in inquisition about how Anders is the worst character to ever exist and there’s no redemption for terrorists who lie to you one time in the entire game and he deserves death or worse and that’s it

And now… 72% of people are down to redeem the guy who lies to you for 2 games straight and who did a lot of questionable things that includes creating the fucking blight and. Like. I guess I’m glad that Solas fans can live in a world where they aren’t constantly harassed and can give their ship like. A pretty damn good ending all things considered. And that the devs love Solas and actually give the option for that happy ending and have characters go to bat for Solas throughout the game and the most annoying thing they have to see are people making scrambled egg memes. I would not wish anyone to have to deal with the shit Anders fans had to put up with back then cause it sucked. It really sucked. And I’m glad it’s not being repeated with a different character, if nothing else

But like. Man there really is a difference when the writers actually like the character who does the thing, huh

[telesilla]

Not gonna go out on this limb on a 25k post, but maybe it’s okay that kids today don’t know as much about using an actual computer as we do/did? Is it useful knowledge? Of course it is. So is using a sewing machine or being able to rebuild your VW with a copy of that one book every VW driver used to have. That’s not the right question—most practical knowledge is useful after all. The question should be “is it relevant to the way people live right now.” “How to Keep Your VW Alive” is a timeless fucking classic; my ex and I kept our copy long after he sold his VW. But I’m not buying a copy now because it won’t exactly help me keep my VW ID4 on the road.

And it’s funny, because I tend to read along with those posts and nod my head, because back in my day we HAD to know all that computer stuff. And then for some reason today, I remembered a conversation my mom and I had with my grandma in the mid 70s when I was a teenager. Grandma made my mom’s wedding dress. She worked at a department store doing alterations on foundation wear, which if you look at 1950s foundation wear, you’ll realize was both necessary and difficult. So she was shocked when I said most of my friends didn’t know their way around a sewing machine. “But how do you make sure your clothes fit?!” Well, Grandma, people don’t wear heavy foundation wear any more and clothes don’t need to be as tailored as they did back in the day—it’s 1975 and the only alterations I need to do is hemming my flares so they just touch the floor when I’m wearing platforms.

Now you can back up and look at the broader picture, the one that says, but your car should be repairable by you as long as you have clear instructions, and you should be able to alter your clothes or make your own, and yes, you should know how to organize the files on the desktop of your laptop. But the fact that for the most part it’s become easier and easier to just not do those things (if they can be done at all) isn’t exactly the fault of Kids Today. And it’s certainly not meeting them where they are or even trying to understand why they feel they don’t need that knowledge if, instead of looking at why they don’t have it and maybe even don’t need it, you just decry their lack of the Deep Wisdom.

[deltaruminations]

what if gaster in a future chapter calls out the audience for speculating so much about him. the guy canonically has some amount of access to Real Life Social Media. like i started this mostly as a joke but there are definitely some real metanarrative opportunities for a character with recklessly curious impulses, and possibly a fragile sense of self, having nearly limitless access to streams of debate over whether or not he’s a bastard. rude to talk about someone who’s listening etc

Let’s agree how this is giving “the 2024 magneto & mutan husbands’ pop song” and I’m not even joking (I am)

Not to mention the name of this album screams “SUPER REAL ME!” Which fits so well with “mutant and proud” LMAO.

[im-not-buying-it-ether]

Oh hey what about a groundhogs day event where the hero has to relive their traumatic “One Bad Day”-esque backstory but it’s another hero they either know really well and the only way to break the loop is letting that horrible event happen

Bc I’m basic my first thought was “Oh, this would absolutely tear up anyone having to walk down crime alley knowing way too well what’s about to happen”

But I’m also obsessed with my blorbo so my other thought was “Omg lol, imagine if one of the adult heroes ended up in Billy’s body just before his parents left to go die on their dig and think maybe they can save their co-worker the tragedy he faced so young only for every attempt they succeed at getting them to stay keep the loop going and they realize they have to let them go and doom this kid all over again. Haha, extra points if the loop actually lasts from that point to them actually dying so they wake up the next day thinking they failed again only for it to be tomorrow and suddenly Uncle E gets the call that his brother and sister in law are dead and then whoever is in Billy’s body is getting thrown out with a suitcase realizing maybe the nightmare is going to last longer.”

And I just had to laugh bc goddamn my brain cant stop with angst

Okay okay now it is SUPER easy to hate antinous FUCK when he’s describing what he’ll do to penelope I got chills bro thank god he’s dead 😭

Again I HAVE to reiterate how AMAZING ayron’s vocals are in this song HE GIVES SUCH A GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!

3. Odysseus

Ohohohohooooo daddy’s home

The electric guitar that’s how you know you’re fucked

“I come back and find my palace desecrated, sacked like Troy” THE GASP I LET OUT AT THE NAME DROP!!!!! SICKENING!!!!!!

When he called telemachus “my boy” what if I started crying

“I. Have had. Enough.” CHILLS!!! CHILLS MOTHERFUCKER CHILLS!!!!!! ASKFJKSJFSKHFKSHDKFH WE HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS!!!!!!!!

THE ENSEMBLE SINGING “ODYSSEUS” IN POLYPHEMUS’ TUNE!!!!! HE’S THE BOSS NOW BITCHES!!!!!!!

“He’s aiming for the torches!” JUST LIKE SCYLLA!!!!! ODY IS PULLING A SCYLLA!!!!!!!!!

“You don’t think I know my own palace? I built it.” STILL ONE OF THE HARDEST FUCKING LINES IN THE MUSICAL BRO THAT SHIT MAKES ME INSANE!!!!!! INSANEEEEE!!!!!!!!

OPEN ARMS MENTION!!!!!!! We are NOT greeting the world with opens arms lads it’s fucking over. I love the way odysseus says “no” without ANY hesitation, he’s so tired of this song and dance HE’S HAD IT!!!!

TELEMACHUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYYAY!!!!!!!

I wasn’t expecting him to relish in the bloodshed like he does in the odyssey because that’s just not how he is in the musical but it’s nice that he at least tried to stop them! You go little wolf!

“Where is he?” Being used to refer to both odysseus and telemachus is killing me slowly

“My mercy has long since drowned. It died to bring me home.” AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

FUCK DUDE!!!!! THAT WHOLE SECTION IS A FUCKING BANGER JAY’S DELIVERY IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE I CAN FEEL THE RAGE IN MY BONES MAN THIS SHIT IS SO FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!

The use of “drowned” is SO CLEARLY a reference to poseidon I’m going to throw up

4. I Can’t Help But Wonder

I’ve daydreamed so much about the father-son reunion I’m gonna cry

Ough poor telemachus finally meets his father and he can only worry about if he’s worthy enough to live up to ody’s legacy. And THE FIRST thing ody does is tell him how strong he is FUCK ME DUDE 😭😭😭

“Used to say I’d make the storm clouds cry for you” obvious reference to his whole shebang with poseidon

“Used to say I’d capture the wind and sky for you” WINDBAG MENTION!!!!!!!!

THEY’RE HARMONIZING IM GOING TO SOB IM GOING TO COMMIT CRIMES!!!!!!!!!

ATHENA!!!!!!!!!

My god odysseus learning ruthlessness and athena learning empathy and then uniting and realizing that, while empathy should always come first, unfortunately the world we live in sometimes we have to use ruthlessness in order to survive. And the best we can do is foster future generations that hopefully will not have to go through the same terrible things we have. Ough…

“There’s this girl I have to see” I’m like 80% this is referencing that cut song where ody asks athena to help him court penelope… I hope I’m right because I’ll cry if I am

5. Would You Fall In Love With Me Again

I’m tweaking our rn btw in case you were wondering

The instrumentals are so beautiful I literally CANNOT

The door opening sound effect is so simple but so effective alisjfkshfkshdidjjd

Once again I need to express how much I truly believe the odyssey is a metaphor for ptsd and how it changes a person and the relationships they have

ODYSSEUS SINGING “WAITING” YOU HAVE TO STOP I CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH 😭

Fuck the chorus is so beautiful I don’t even know what to say about it I’m so overwhelmed with emotions. Ough. Just… odysseus on his knees begging to be loved the way he was, and penelope knowing her answer only if she can really trust the man in front of her. Fuck… what the hell…

The olive bed… THE OLIVE BED!!!!!!!!!!

Once again I need to emphasize how ETHEREAL anna’s voice is!!!!!!!

THE JUST A MAN INSTRUMENTALS JORGE YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO ME!!!! ITS NOT ALLOWED!!!! YOU CANT FUCKING DO THAT!!!!!!

They’re harmonizing… they’re singing “I love you” and they’re harmonizing… I. I need a moment… I just.. give me a second… please can I have some time to myself? I just really need to… die, I think…

The final words of epic being “I love you” I am literally going to end my own life ITS SO BEAUTIFUL

This song makes me want to rip out my still-beating heart and eat it bloody and raw. In like a good way!!!

shoutout to the only straight couple ever. I love you odypen…

And thus, our journessey comes to an end. It’s over but it’s not over and I think that’s the only comfort I have right now

Now do you’ll excuse me I’m going to go lay face down in a creek forever

[luna-the-cretar]

So we know that Taishen’s healing magic makes the target feel warm, inside and out, like drinking a hot drink on a cold day. So what if Jornir’s healing magic was the inverse?

Like, Jornir’s healing magic is cold. Like enjoying a cold treat on a hot day. Or applying an ice pack on inflammation. It’s not freezing, by any means, but noticeably cold. It makes you feel cold, but not in a way that’ll damage you. Just…cold.

Also, this is kinda irrelevant but for some reason my brain is also supplying me what their respective healing magics would taste like, if you could taste them.

But like, I imagine Taishen’s healing magic would taste like chai tea, perhaps. Maybe not chai, exactly, but if you were to taste Taishen’s magic, you could taste hints of cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, etc. Basically the taste of fall. It would taste as warm as it feels, ya get me?

Likewise, Jornir’s healing magic would taste like peppermint. It tastes sweet, but comes with the unmistakable cold feeling in your mouth that the menthol within causes. It essentially just tastes like winter.

Idk, my brain latched onto Taishen and Jornir all of a sudden and like I just. Want to talk about them. And how they’re like. Polar opposites in so many ways. But so alike in others. I just. They make me unwell.
