@Galipilhaner Egypt is right next door, and medical evacuations through Rafah are taking place. Has this child been referred for evacuation? Who actually denied her passage? A heartbreaking video is not proof that Israel refused her treatment.
@yvonneridley@IDF In 2020, the UN reported that two Gaza infants died before referrals could be arranged amid a halt in PA-Israel coordination. In 2025, an Iranian missile hit Israel's Soroka Hospital, injuring 71. None of this makes a wounded baby proof that soldiers exist to kill children.
@yvonneridley@IDF A sick Palestinian baby deserves care, not exploitation. Your claim that IDF soldiers train and live to murder babies is an allegation of intent, not a fact. A disturbing image cannot establish who harmed this child, much less why.
@yvonneridley@IDF A 2015 UNRWA study in Gaza reviewed 65 infant deaths: 39% involved prematurity, 29% congenital anomalies, 19% infections. Consanguinity was associated with 2.41 times higher odds of infant death. These are pre-war findings, not a diagnosis of the child shown.
@yvonneridley@IDF U.S. intelligence assessed that Hamas and Islamic Jihad used Al-Shifa for command activities, weapons and hostages. Hospitals and babies deserve protection. Military use of a hospital endangers patients - it does not justify indiscriminate attacks.
@yvonneridley@IDF WHO reported that 31 premature babies were evacuated from Al-Shifa in November 2023 amid electricity shortages, lack of supplies and fighting. WHO did not report soldiers deliberately unplugging their incubators. That's your claim. Where's the evidence?
@yvonneridley@IDF By 2020, the Israeli medical charity Save a Child’s Heart had treated more than 2,500 Palestinian children from Gaza and the West Bank. Israeli doctors spent years saving these children’s lives. Those lives matter too - even when they undermine your narrative.
@AhmedAAshour8 And one more thing: These photos do not prove that the birth defects were caused by Israeli bombings. Congenital abnormalities have many possible causes. Establishing a causal link requires medical evidence, not emotional images and political accusations.
@AhmedAAshour8 Israel treated Palestinian children, including babies, in its hospitals for years. Hamas chose terrorism, even attacking crossings used for medical care. Why sabotage the very system that helped save children's lives?
