A reminder that at the height of the 1994 Rwanda genocide, the US opposed any international action to stop it, refused to label it "genocide", and instead promised humanitarian supplies. We've been down this road before.
Palestinians in the ICU and those critically injured have already died inside Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital due to the lack of fuel and electricity, reports Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud on the facility's dire situation amid Israeli raids.

50,000 pregnant women in Gaza are unable to access essential healthcare, as other woman struggle to find basic menstrual hygiene products. Being pregnant can be an anxiety-provoking experiences under normal circumstances. This is unbearable to witness.
It should not be controversial to assert that Palestinian lives matter just as much as Israeli lives.
Or that Black lives matter just as much as white lives.
These are matters of fact.
The equality and value of human lives should never be up for debate.
WHO statement on attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital and reported large-scale casualties
WHO strongly condemns the attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip. The hospital was operational, with patients, health and care givers, and internally displaced people sheltering there. Early reports indicate hundreds of fatalities and injuries.
The hospital was one of 20 in the north of the Gaza Strip facing evacuation orders from the Israeli military. The order for evacuation has been impossible to carry out given the current insecurity, critical condition of many patients, and lack of ambulances, staff, health system bed capacity, and alternative shelter for those displaced.
WHO calls for the immediate active protection of civilians and health care. Evacuation orders must be reversed. International humanitarian law must be abided by, which means health care must be actively protected and never targeted.
Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes. The IDF reportedly blowing up one of the few places the injured and wounded can seek medical treatment and shelter during a war is horrific.
@POTUS needs to push for an immediate ceasefire to end this slaughter.
