🇵🇸 As dead bodies remain scattered in streets and under rubble, a new health disaster looms over Gaza | Euro Med HR Monitor
Geneva - A health disaster looms in the Gaza Strip, warned Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, as dead bodies remain scattered in the streets and under the rubble of buildings destroyed by the Israeli aggression, which is in its seventh week now. The rights organisation pointed to the risk of diseases, such as cholera and disorders of the immune system, spreading throughout the Strip.
The humanitarian situation is dramatically deteriorating in the Gaza Strip due to the lack of access to water, electricity, and equipment needed to bury the bodies of the dead. This constitutes a dangerous threat to public health and the environment, Euro-Med Monitor stated, and may serve as breeding grounds not only for infectious and communicable diseases, but also for skin and respiratory problems.
Euro-Med Monitor estimated that 4,150 people are missing beneath the debris of buildings hit by Israeli air and artillery strikes, with little hope of survival. Hundreds of additional bodies that cannot be recovered remain on the roads, particularly in areas where the Israeli army has conducted ground incursions.

🇵🇸 'It's Bisan from Gaza and I'm Escaping South' - Voices from Gaza | AJ+
Journalist Bisan Owda documened her journey from al-Shifa Hospital to southern Gaza as she tried to find a new place to shelter. Along her journey, she spoke with elderly people on the road, injured children and a doctor about diseases. Israel has ordered an evacuation to the south, but has continued bombing there. The UN says nearly all of Gaza is on the verge of starvation.
On top of starvation, heavy rains, cold temperatures and potential flooding are putting Gazans more at risk of infectious disease.

🇵🇸 Gaza doctors seized by Israel say they were used as 'human shields' | Middle East Eye –
For several days, Israeli aircraft kept bombing different buildings and departments of the hospital. Quadcopters were shooting directly at people, including patients and displaced persons. People were killed inside the hospital," Abu Saada, the head of the surgery department at al-Shifa Hospital, said.
"They besieged the hospital for five days before they stormed its departments. They kept us [in certain areas] and threatened us [with getting targeted].
"When they stormed the ground stores, they used us [doctors] as human shields to enter and search them. They found the technical maintenance employees there and interrogated them, before they detained them."

🇵🇸 Israel arrests, tortures Gaza doctors while world watches | Electronic Intifada
We were joined by Tarek Loubani, an emergency room physician based in Canada who has worked for years inside al-Shifa hospital in #GazaCity
He discussed the #abduction and #arrest of some of his colleagues by Israeli forces over the last few weeks, including Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya, the director of #AlShifa #hospital.
Tarek explained that the Israelis’ intention in taking and arresting these physicians, and subjecting them to physical and psychological torture, is meant to break the back of the #healthcare system even further in #Gaza.
“I don’t think any of them really expected, especially under the flag of the #ICRC [International Committee of the Red Cross], for them to be subject to that kind of arrest,” Tarek said.
#AbuSalmiya’s arrest, “is a classic example of how the Israeli system works: it took him in with no charges, for no reason, it’s keeping him for a very specific purpose.”

🇵🇸 ‘It’s Bisan From Gaza, And Diseases Are Spreading At These Schools' | Voices from Gaza - AJ+
Bisan Owda, a video journalist in Gaza, takes us inside the UN schools that now act as shelters for over 1 million displaced Palestinians. The schools are severely overcrowded and lack proper sanitation — as many as 160 people are forced to share a single toilet. Some shelters have seen outbreaks of #cholera and #hepatitis.
But even these shelters are not safe — Israel is now demanding that the Palestinians sheltering in #KhanYounis flee farther south to #Rafah.

🇵🇸 Israeli sniper kills "everyone who moves" in Gaza hospital | The Electronic Intifada –
Israeli forces are continuing to bomb, besiege and destroy hospitals in Gaza, waging what a UN health official called an “unrelenting war” on the health system across the coastal enclave.
Doctors are warning that without an immediate end to Israel’s bombing, and proper shelter, sanitation, medicine, food and water, the healthcare system is coming to a cataclysmic collapse.
The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza also reported, on Wednesday, that children’s vaccines have completely run out, which will cause “catastrophic health repercussions on children’s health and the spread of diseases, especially among the displaced in overcrowded shelter centers.”

Top UN human rights expert has accused Israel of breaking international law with its relentless bombardment of Gaza. Francesca Albanese says Israel's right to self defence doesn't allow it to ignore the rules of proportionality and ensure protection of civilians. Despite those condemnations, Israel's attacks in Gaza continue unabated. More than 24,620 Palestinians have now been killed. Israel is bombing are-as around southern Gaza's largest hospital all that while a communications blackout across the strip continues for a week.

🇵🇸 We Volunteered at a Gaza Hospital. What We Saw Was Unspeakable. | POLITICO
In the United States we would never dream of operating on anyone without consent, let alone a malnourished and barely conscious 9-year-old girl in septic shock. Nevertheless, when we saw Juri, that’s exactly what we did.
The two of us are humanitarian surgeons. Together, in our combined 57 years of volunteering, we’ve worked on more than 40 surgical missions in developing countries on four continents. We’re used to working in disaster and war zones, of being on intimate terms with death and carnage and despair.
None of that prepared us for what we saw in Gaza this spring.
