🇵🇸 Gaza engineers salvage damaged medical equipment to keep hospitals running
In the face of crumbling medical equipment, teams of engineers in Gaza have resorted to salvaging parts from damaged machinery and refitting them in a desperate attempt to repair what they can and restore some functionality to various medical devices.
“We now collect equipment damaged during the [Israeli] ground incursion and the bombing of the hospital. We collect them, dismantle matching equipment of the same type, salvage and repair the parts, and then reassemble the equipment,” Ahmed Younis, an engineer at Al-Shifa Hospital told Drop Site.
“We have managed to restore only around 15% of the hospital’s equipment. Most of the equipment needs to be replaced and is difficult to repair under the current conditions.”
“But the equipment is not operating at the level of efficiency it is supposed to,” he warned. “The MRI machines and other radiology equipment, such as CT scanners and lithotripsy machines, were completely destroyed.”
The lack of functional diagnostic equipment has severely impaired doctors’ abilities to treat patients in Gaza. “This has resulted in severe complications and, in some cases, patients have lost their lives because we were unable to determine the correct diagnosis,” Dr. Mohammed Amin Matar, the head of the radiology department at Al-Shifa, told Drop Site.
“I miss the word ‘mum.’ No one calls me mum”

NEW: Israel funded a fake US think tank called the "Hanover Institute" that published 124 reports totaling over 560,000 words in nine days, designed to be cited by AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
The site was built on a platform that promises to optimize content so AI systems will treat it as credible research.
Every headline mirrors a question a user might type into a chatbot:
Is Israel Carrying Out a Genocide in Gaza?

The operation was funded through Israel's government advertising agency via the European ad group Havas, with tens of millions of dollars routed to American contractors including a firm run by former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale.

"Israel has no interest in seeing Gaza rebuilt. It's better for us that Gaza remains destroyed for generations to come... They attack us out of hope, not despair... so the greater the despair in Gaza, the greater the destruction... the better."
Maj. Gen. (Res.) Giora Eiland, one of the architects of the genocide and the man behind the infamous Generals' Plan, keeps pushing for more genocide in Gaza.
Eiland is not regarded in Israel as an extremist, but as a mainstream "security expert". He recently declared his support for Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party, an ultra-genocidal party that's part of the anti-Netanyahu bloc, commonly described by Israelis as the "center-left".
