Shortly after the @WHO-led mission to Kamal Adwan Hospital yesterday, the facility's third floor was reportedly hit again, injuring six children who are patients there. One child sustained a critical injury. Water tanks were damaged. Heavy bombardment persisted very close to the hospital, including when WHO was delivering aid.

It is appalling that hospitals in #Gaza continue to be attacked, patients continue to be harmed, and health workers and humanitarians continue to work under life-threatening conditions.

Doctors Without Borders denounces in the strongest possible terms the killing of our colleague in #Gaza

This is our 8th colleague killed in #Gaza and the second in two weeks.

[NilanthaL @SriLankanERDoc]

@lebosquet There are many ways to prevent this which makes it even more absolutely heartbreaking

[Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières @MSF_canada]

"Killing a healthcare worker while on his way to provide vital medical care to wounded victims of the endless massacres across Gaza is beyond shocking; it's cynical and abhorrent." says Caroline Seguin, our operations manager for #Palestine.

We call on the @UN Security Council to demand that Israel stop attacks on Palestinians and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. The horror being inflicted by Israel as it carries out indiscriminate attacks in Gaza is unjustifiable. It #MustStopNow! 👇

My message from Gaza today:

[MSF International @MSF]

It #MustStopNow! We are asking governments around the world to pressure Israel to stop the attacks on people in #Gaza and end the siege.

[Natalie Thurtle @Turtle1doc]

Two @MSF doctors in north Gaza were killed by a strike today. The situation is deteriorating daily. The injured cannot evacuate because of non stop fighting. We need a ceasefire now.

[Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières @MSF_canada]

We're horrified by the killing of two MSF doctors, Dr. Mahmoud Abu Nujaila and Dr. Ahmad Al Sahar, and a third doctor working with Al Awda, Dr. Ziad Al-Tatari, following a strike on Al Awda Hospital, #Gaza.

Dr. Mahmoud Abu Nujaila.
Dr. Ahmad Al Sahar.
Dr. Ziad Al-Tatari.

We're horrified by the killing of two of our doctors, and another doctor, Dr. Ziad Al-Tatari, following a strike on Al Awda Hospital, which is one of the last remaining functional hospitals in northern Gaza.

@Drlipid If a patient is already on lipid therapy with statin and ezetimibe, would that alter Sterol Testing results to the point it would not be useful? Or okay to proceed with it and still learn useful information from the absolute values as you mentioned?
