Russia is banned from international football competitions but "israel" continues to be welcomed by FIFA and UEFA. This is a massive scandal that persists while Palestinians continue to be slaughtered.
I have spent three years in Gaza’s emergency departments. I have seen thousands of wounded children, amputations, burns, and faces forever changed by war.
Yet today, baby Suwar Abu Daraz from Khan Younis, who had not even reached her first birthday, shattered my heart.
I can’t bring myself to look at her face. My heart aches every time I do.
I keep asking myself: if those of us who witness this every day are struggling to bear it… how can the world continue scrolling past it?
NEW: Sources say that CPJ has put together a “special task force” to “reexamine the question of ‘Who is a Journalist?’” (direct language). The main objective of the task force is to explore excluding journalists working for “state-backed propaganda outlets and terror-affiliated organizations” from their database, as well as journalists who exhibit actions and behaviors that the organization finds to be discrediting. Essentially, CPJ is saying you’re not a journalist unless you’re politically aligned with us.
The UN inquiry’s findings that genocide is being carried out by Israeli authorities and security forces in Gaza - as well as crimes against humanity and war crimes - and additionally war crimes in the occupied West Bank - is due to what the inquiry found was the deliberate targeting of children - and it is horrifying reading. The details of the targeting are chilling. Children. Killed. Wounded. Tortured. Starved. Raped. On a mass scale
Israeli soldiers use young boys for "target practice." As in, Mondays, we shoot the stomach, Tuesdays, the knees, etc.
This was reported last year by the BBC and now corroborated by the United Nations' report.
A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.
Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.
Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.
In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.
These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.
🚨BREAKING: Israeli forces killed 9 year old Mousa Al-Habil and his father nurse Mohammed northern Gaza City, as they were on the roof of their home trying to manually collect water amid the collapse of basic life necessities in the area.
I had 20 patients in my Pediatric War Injuries Clinic today, for follow-up care.
Of the 20 children, Israel had killed one or both parents of 19 of them.
🚨Gaza just minutes ago: Israel struck Gaza city, reportedly killing and wounding several people.
You can hear the painful screams in the background. Those of men, women, and children.
They were supposed to celebrate Eid tomorrow. Israel just bombed them.
