As Israel expands its ground assault into Khan Younis, a surgeon at the European Hospital in the city describes desperately trying to treat a relentless stream of wounded children as critical supplies run out
Netanyahu is a war criminal. He needs to be removed from power.
Not ever again buy anything from Israel.
In that case you might wanna check out the BDS movement. Alongside political action, it’s currently the developed world’s best shot at stopping the madness going on in Palestine.
The ICRC facilitated the transfer of 104 hostages and 154 Palestinian detainees involved in the exchange.
So how come people held by Hamas are “hostages” while people held by Israel are “detainees”? As far as I can tell, many of the people held by Israel are just random Palestinians they pulled off the streets.
Without giving them the benefit of the doubt, it’s because they are being processed through the Israeli military court system.
Wait, military court system? Give me a sec here. Let’s check Wikipedia… Hmm…
Modeled on the British military court system?!?
1967-87: One in three Palestinians detained… 500,000… Children and women pleading with soldiers…
Indefinite administrative detention without trial… “secret evidence”…coercion…
Ok, claims of physical torture, lack of education, defacto denial of lawyers…
You know, I didn’t know what I was expecting from an entry called Palestinian prisoners in Israel, but I feel sick just reading this…
Not to forget that in most cases they cannot be visited by their relatives. I really don’t know how the West is okay with a lot of Israel’s policies.
Hostages are lighter-skinned and wealthier than detainees.
This Dr Potokar is a real hero.
The nurse who had helped him with the three-year-old double amputee was killed three nights ago along with 12 members of his family, Dr Pokotar says. A senior plastic surgeon, who was also a colleague, was killed with 30 members of his family in an airstrike four weeks back. Every day, nursing staff and surgeons are treating family and friends that are brought into the hospital – many do not make it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
This is the daily reality at the European Hospital inside the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, as described by veteran British war surgeon Tom Potokar, who works for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
While the United Nations warns that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is “apocalyptic”, the Israeli military has expanded a ferocious ground campaign from the north of the besieged territory into the south, where an estimated 1.9 million Palestinians have been displaced.
The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has vowed to continue the war until the army destroys Hamas, which runs the Strip and launched a deadly attack on southern Israel on 7 October in which 1,200 people were killed and another 240 were taken hostage.
And in recent days, Israeli forces have started to storm Khan Younis, the largest city in southern Gaza, launching what is believed to be the biggest ground assault since a fragile seven-day truce collapsed last week.
Nearly 2 million Palestinians – ordered by Israel to take shelter in the south – are now crammed “into ever-diminishing and extremely overcrowded places in unsanitary and unhealthy conditions,” the UN’s rights chief Volker Turk warned on Wednesday.
Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council said on Tuesday that “the pulverising of Gaza now ranks amongst the worst assaults on any civilian population in our time and age”.
