Earlier, the BBC’s Rushdi Abualouf reported that a contact still inside Gaza City’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa, had told him 170 bodies were being buried in a mass grave there.
Since then, we’ve heard from the hospital’s director who says 179 people, including babies, have been buried in the grave within the hospital grounds.
“There are bodies littered in the hospital complex and there is no longer electricity at the morgues,” Mohammad Abu Salmiyah is quoted by multiple news agencies as saying. “We were forced to bury them in a mass grave.”
The BBC’s Rushdi Abualouf has heard that no people, or any items of aid, have been allowed in or out of the Al-Shifa hospital for the last 48 hours, according to one of his contacts.
That source - one of the few remaining journalists in the hospital - says four people had tried to leave Al-Shifa yesterday, but were shot in the legs and left on the ground bleeding for around two hours.
Medics had to risk their lives to get them into the hospital for treatment, the source tells Abualouf.
Not if it is also a hospital. Then cutting off supplies is fucking disgusting, and absolutely not justified even if there was a base there as well. You know there are civilians and it’s your responsibility to not harm them on purpose. I don’t even care if you agree it’s a war crime at this point, this is just straight up morals.
And, as it happens, it’s not looking like a military base now is it? Turns out all this suffering could have been for nothing.
They are doing a genocide, so “not a fan” seems a bit light, but ok thanks.
By what metric are they better? They have killed many times more innocents and they’re treating war crimes like a fucking bingo card at this point.
And necessary. This is why turning hospitals into military bases is a war crime. If you’re offended at military actions taken against hospitals, talk to Hamas about it.
See, you’re deluding yourself into pretending they’re genocidal. That’s the difference here. I live in reality.
