War surgeon Dr Mohammed Tahir, who has worked in Gaza and south Lebanon, told Al Jazeera that Israel is “turning the south of Lebanon into Gaza” and “wiping the south off the map”, with over a million people displaced and many medical staff killed.
Lebanon doctors accuse Israel of repeating Gaza's 'scorched earth policy' with attacks on hospitals and staff

Yesterday, I was refused entry into Gaza by Israel to join a medical team and support our heroic colleagues. My 2nd refusal over the past few months.
I am overwhelmed with grief. The idea that I will not be able to go to the one place on this planet where I felt at home. All because some European settlers want to erase my memory.
فإذهب إلى قلبي تجد شعبي
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.
Today, we've written to @DavidLammy calling on the Government to take immediate action to prevent famine in Gaza.
As Israel continues their blockade of humanitarian aid, 1 in 5 people face imminent starvation and hospitals are running out of medicines fast.

As @bbcnews won't release our film on the destruction of the Gazan health system we are sharing films from Drs there. This is @rosieplasticsurgeon Dr Victoria Rose describing her day in Nasser Hospital & the terrible plight of a mother & daughters. Our film focuses on Gazan Drs.
14,000 babies could die in 48 hours without aid. That’s the warning from the UN.
This is genocide in real time and Keir Starmer's government is complicit.
Still arming Israel and running surveillance flights. No sanctions or expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador.
Shame on them.
Many in our media are finally waking up to the unspeakable horrors that Palestinians are enduring in Gaza.
It is too late.
Israel inflicted these horrors because they were encouraged to do so, in part by a media class that failed to treat all human life with equal worth.
In under 24 hours, Israel has massacred over 400 people in Gaza — including 174 children.
Words of condemnation ring hollow.
The UK government must end ALL arms sales, trade & diplomatic ties with a state facing genocide charges at the ICJ & leaders under ICC arrest warrants.
Proud to join the inaugural meeting of The Hague Group — a nine-nation coalition with @ProgIntl — committed to enforcing ICJ & ICC rulings with coordinated sanctions on Israel.
A historic step toward real accountability for genocide, apartheid and occupation in Palestine.
Yesterday Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 2 year old Palestinian girl in the West Bank.
If she was Israeli you’d see her picture and hear her name on every news station.
Her name was Laila al-Khatib and this is her…..
Israel has murdered over 3000 toddlers in the past 12 months, just like Laila their crime is just being Palestinian.
There is no ceasefire for Palestinians.
The illegal occupying forces have now moved to the West Bank where settlers and the IOF are murdering civilians and destroying homes.
FUCK ISRAEL
Israel murdered 950 health workers in order to wipe out Gaza's health system. Of the 5 Consultant Pathologists there are now only 2 still alive; there are no more board certified Kidney specialists; no board certified Emergency Medicine doctors and the list goes on. We must NOW start to train a new generation.
Dear @Keir_Starmer,
Is the burning body of a 19 yr old boy not enough?
Is the beheaded body of a 3 month old baby with her nappy still on not enough?
Is the 6 year old girl being shot at in the head not enough?
Is the mother cradling a shroud of her child not enough?
Is the father desperately scraping the earth with his fingernails to get to his children buried underneath not enough?
What more will it take for you to stop sending arms to Israel & do the right thing?!
Is this not enough?!
The management of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza says that Israeli forces have called for a full evacuation of all patients and wounded from the hospital within 24 hours.

Today I asked the Prime Minister if he will finally do what’s legally and morally right and end the government’s complicity in Israeli war crimes by banning ALL arms sales —including F-35 fighter jets — to Israel.
He said “no”.
99 American medical professionals who worked in Gaza have published a letter to President Biden “with probative evidence” that it’s “likely that the death toll is already greater than 118,908”.
That’s more than 5.4% of Gaza’s population.
