What you're looking at here is a cancer hospital.
It was Gaza's only cancer hospital.
This is the Western-armed Israeli military blowing it up.
Do you think we'll be forgiven for these atrocities? Trust me - we won't be.
UPDATE: The Ministry of Health reports 274 killed and 698 injured in Gaza in the last 24 hours. Others remain under the rubble and in the streets with rescuers unable to reach them.
BREAKING: Israel has now killed 15,971 Palestinian children in Gaza, in just 220 days.
That’s 73 children killed per day, every single day, for 7 months straight.
Read that again.
Wars have rules that must be respected by all sides.
Civilians and humanitarian workers must be protected.
At all times and in all places.
They are #NotATarget.
What a treat, speaking to the primary 3’s @MeldrumSchool as part of their careers week! They were all fab and hopefully we might have encouraged some physios of the future!
🚨Rafah’s main hospital is no longer functioning after Israel ordered its evacuation.
This leaves over 1 million people in Rafah with 1 hospital (capacity: 16 beds), a field hospital which serves only as a trauma stabilisation point, and 1 hospital only providing maternity care.
Immediate impact of Israeli military taking control of the #Gaza side of #Rafah crossing:
❌ Desperately needed aid cannot enter Gaza - we have 16 @MedicalAidPal trucks in the queue
❌ Medical evacuations cannot take place
❌ Aid workers (inc doctors) cannot get in or out of Gaza
BREAKING: This is Rafah tonight.
While all eyes are on the Met Gala, Israel has unleashed its most barbaric bombing of Rafah, massacring trapped civilians in the middle of the night.
Don’t look away.
BREAKING: Israel has now killed 15,370 Palestinian children in Gaza, in just 180 days.
That’s 85 children killed per day, every single day, for 6 months straight.
Read that again.
The UK must end arms sales to Israel.
If the UK Government are unwilling to act then Parliament should force them to do so.
But that can’t happen whilst the doors to Westminster lie shut.
Parliament should be recalled without delay.
#Gaza
Today I saw long lines of blocked relief trucks waiting to be let into Gaza.
It’s time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid.
The choice is clear: surge or starvation.
Let’s choose the side of help, the side of hope & the right side of history.
I will not give up.
We are urgently working to evacuate siblings Rafif, 13 and Rafiq, 15 from Shifa Hospital where they are trapped. They have severe injuries from an Israeli military airstrike, which also killed their mother and ten other family members, and had to have their limbs amputated. (1/4)
