❌ Myth!

NEW–Historic ad in @nytimes calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The scale of horror that Gazans are enduring in the face of Israel’s genocidal bombing of Gaza is immeasurable. Israel’s US-backed genocide of Palestinians in Gaza must stop. We call for a ceasefire + urgent aid.
WHO statement on attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital and reported large-scale casualties
WHO strongly condemns the attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip. The hospital was operational, with patients, health and care givers, and internally displaced people sheltering there. Early reports indicate hundreds of fatalities and injuries.
The hospital was one of 20 in the north of the Gaza Strip facing evacuation orders from the Israeli military. The order for evacuation has been impossible to carry out given the current insecurity, critical condition of many patients, and lack of ambulances, staff, health system bed capacity, and alternative shelter for those displaced.
WHO calls for the immediate active protection of civilians and health care. Evacuation orders must be reversed. International humanitarian law must be abided by, which means health care must be actively protected and never targeted.

Great GI grand rounds by @Bashar_Qumseya on cold snare polypectomy:
👉🏼Most of polyps in practice should removed with cold snare
👉🏼Do not use cold snares on pedunculated polyps
👉🏼Cold EMR is gaining more attention as safer alternative
