Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not.

The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the “public interest.”

WHO leads very high-risk joint humanitarian mission to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza

18 November 2023 - Earlier today, a joint UN humanitarian assessment team, led by WHO accessed Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza to assess the situation on the ground and conduct a rapid situational analysis, assess medical priorities, and establish logistics options for further missions. The team included public health experts, logistics officers, and security staff from OCHA, UNDSS, UNMAS/UNOPS, UNRWA and WHO.

The mission was deconflicted with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to ensure safe passage along the agreed route. However, this was a high-risk operation in an active conflict zone, with heavy fighting ongoing in close proximity to the hospital.

Earlier in the day, the IDF had issued evacuation orders to the remaining 2,500 internally displaced people who had been seeking refuge on the hospital grounds. They, along with a number of mobile patients and hospital staff, had already vacated the facility by the time of the team's arrival.

Due to time limits associated with the security situation, the team was able to spend only one hour inside the hospital, which they described as a “death zone,” and the situation as “desperate.” Signs of shelling and gunfire were evident. The team saw a mass grave at the entrance of the hospital and were told more than 80 people were buried there.

Lack of clean water, fuel, medicines, food and other essential aid over the last six weeks have caused Al-Shifa Hospital—once the largest, most advanced, and best equipped referral hospital in Gaza—to essentially stop functioning as a medical facility. The team observed that due to the security situation, it has been impossible for the staff to carry out effective of waste management in the hospital. Corridors and the hospital grounds were filled with medical and solid waste, increasing the risk of infection. Patients and health staff with whom they spoke were terrified for their safety and health, and pleaded for evacuation. Al-Shifa Hospital can no longer admit patients, with the injured and sick now being directed to the seriously overwhelmed and barely functioning Indonesian Hospital.

There are 25 health workers and 291 patients remaining in Al-Shifa, with several patient deaths having occurred over the previous 2 to 3 days due to the shutting down of medical services. Patients include 32 babies in extremely critical condition, two people in intensive care without ventilation, and 22 dialysis patients whose access to life-saving treatment has been severely compromised. The vast majority of patients are victims of war trauma, including many with complex fractures and amputations, head injuries, burns, chest and abdominal trauma, and 29 patients with serious spinal injuries who are unable to move without medical assistance. Many trauma patients have severely infected wounds due to lack of infection control measures in the hospital and unavailability of antibiotics.

Given the current state of the hospital, which is no longer operational or admitting new patients, the team was requested to evacuate health workers and patients to other facilities. WHO and partners are urgently developing plans for the immediate evacuation of the remaining patients, staff and their families. Over the next 24–72 hours, pending guarantees of safe passage by parties to the conflict, additional missions are being arranged to urgently transport patients from Al-Shifa to Nasser Medical Complex and European Gaza Hospital in the south of Gaza. However, these hospitals are already working beyond capacity, and new referrals from Al-Shifa Hospital will further strain overburdened health staff and resources.

WHO is deeply concerned about the safety and health needs of patients, health workers and internally displaced people sheltering at the few remaining partially functional hospitals in the north, which are facing risk of closure due lack of fuel, water, medical supplies, food, and the intense hostilities. Immediate efforts must be made to restore the functionality of Al-Shifa and all other hospitals to provide urgently needed health services in Gaza.

WHO reiterates its plea for collective efforts to bring an end to the hostilities and humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. We call for an immediate ceasefire, the sustained flow of humanitarian assistance at scale, unhindered humanitarian access to all of those in need, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the cessation of attacks on health care and other vital infrastructure. The extreme suffering of the people of Gaza demands that we respond immediately and concretely with humanity and compassion.

@highbrow_nobrow @ByMikeBaker @jaroddegroot this is a remarkable read

[Connor O'Brien @cs_obrien]

@wsvn @jaroddegroot airport is cursed

[Connor O'Brien @cs_obrien]

@PikaOil89 @domluszczyszyn @Alex311q @RobCouch555 Cause you need another good pass and good shot to get a point. With a primary assist, there is only a good shot required.
That alone shows that there is guaranteed to be more noise and randomness (read luck) with secondary assists.

@GilM @ggreenwald I didn't see much in the way of evidence for your claim in the replies either. Many people rather suggesting that they think these attributes are less relevant than the past drug use and broken home environment the accused was reportedly a product of.

[Connor O'Brien @cs_obrien]

@GilM @ggreenwald Your suggestion of the intent of the original tweet is not provable either way, so while I disagree, you can believe the worst if you'd like.
The subject of the tweet has claimed these facts as relevant. I don't think you can in good faith call it unfair to share these details.

[Connor O'Brien @cs_obrien]

@GilM @ggreenwald Are you claiming that it's irresponsible to share this man is conservative or Mormon? I might give that idea the time of day if he hadn't specifically shared those facts as justification for his opinions, but I'd argue it would be misleading not to mention them in this context.

[Connor O'Brien @cs_obrien]

@GilM @ggreenwald Go watch the interview with this weirdo and you might quit defending him from criticism

[Connor O'Brien @cs_obrien]

@GilM @ggreenwald The guy in the interview literally said that's the reason for his opinion. "Because" is accurate in this specific case.

[Connor O'Brien @cs_obrien]

@GilM @ggreenwald She literally wrote "this monster". The tweet is about one person.

Either you're looking for something to get upset about or you are intentionally being close-minded.
