"It's the equivalent of just putting a blockade around London, saying you can't leave, & then dropping bombs month after month, & then closing down all the healthcare facilities, that's what's happening"
Professor Nizam Mamode giving evidence to MPs yesterday about Gaza
“I don't know whether to scream or to cry.”
Earlier this week, our spokesperson, @1james_elder, met two-year-old Ali in Beirut, Lebanon.
Ali was buried under rubble for 14 hours after his home collapsed in an airstrike. His entire family was killed in the war.
Ceasefire now.
"I did amputations on people who just had to take paracetamol after the operation as pain relief.. one of my colleagues took maggots out of a childs throat in intensive care"
Yesterday Professor Mamode explained to MPs how Israel blocks medical aid from entering Gaza
If you no longer see reports about Israeli massacres in northern Gaza, it’s not because they have stopped, but because the Israeli occupation has killed most of the journalists there for this exact reason: to keep you from knowing about them.
Massacres are being committed 24/7
The horrific reality for people of #Gaza & #Israel since 7 October 2023 detailed in @UNHumanRights report.
Close to 70% of those killed in Gaza are children & women.
Unprecedented violations of IHL give rise to concerns of atrocity crimes. The violence must stop immediately.
I don’t think anyone will ever be able to fully comprehend the extent of intergenerational trauma that is being created right now as we speak. This will be a stain on the history of humanity forever.
Number of Journalists killed in wars
Vietnam: 63 journalists in 20 years
World War II: 67 journalists in 7 years
Gaza & Lebanon: 193 journalists in 1 year
This violates Article 79 of Additional Protocol I Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly doesn’t apply to Israel
More days on (one of) the language app(s)
Lessons: I know basics in the three languages I've attempted to learn.
It is also a good way to practice for my uni lessons sometimes lol
Israel is wiping out border village after border village in South Lebanon.
Centuries-old villages.
When ISIS did this in Syria and Iraq, the whole world went crazy.
But when Israel systematically does the exact same thing in Palestine and Lebanon, nobody bats an eyelash.
Doctors without Borders is outraged by the repeated killings of our staff in #Gaza and calls for an immediate halt on attacks of medical personnel, humanitarian workers and civilians.
It is done. It has been filed.
History in the making.
Those that supported genocide will have their names etched on the wrong side of history for eternity.
israel has not stopped its genocide in gaza, it's still bombing lebanon, and its knesset just voted to ban UNRWA, the UN agency that is life support for palestinian existence. western powers have shown the world that the ruled based international order is a lie
Intentionally blocking aid, targeting humanitarian workers, and now banning UNRWA. All of Gaza is on the brink of famine.
The Israeli government is using starvation as a weapon of war. How much more evidence does the Biden-Harris administration need to stop these war crimes?
