This is a picture of a man who is about to be executed using the execution device called the garrote.
The garrote is an execution device that is documented to have been used in the first century BC Rome. This torture method found its way into modern history.
The condemned would sit with a metal clap wrapped around his neck before the executioner turned the screw that would theoretically burst his brainstem, killing him instantly.
Amid ongoing hostilities,
@WHO and partners concluded another mission to north #Gaza and reached the Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) medical point, Al-Shifa Hospital, and Indonesian hospital to assess their current capacity.
Once again, the mission was severely delayed, leaving less time for the assessment of the facilities.
The removal of dead bodies at Al-Shifa is still ongoing. The emergency department is being cleaned by health workers, and burnt beds have been removed. The safety of the remaining construction still needs a thorough engineering assessment.
The Indonesian Hospital is empty. Reconstruction work is ongoing in an effort to rehabilitate it.
The PMRS facility is receiving trauma patients and providing basic health services. They are in dire need of fuel and medical supplies, and WHO will address these needs.
The level of destruction of Gaza's hospitals is heartbreaking. We again call for hospitals to be protected, not attacked or militarized.
We again call for a ceasefire. The key medicine the people in Gaza need is peace.
In the United States, Black women are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy complications than white women — this is unacceptable. Congress must take action to ensure that Black mothers have equal access to maternal health resources. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek
