The state of Gaza’s hospitals: Surgeries without anesthesia and with only mobile phones for light. Vinegar from the corner store as disinfectant. 5,000 patients in a hospital built for 700, some sleeping on the floor. No power, no clean water, little fuel.

A tragedy
Vinegar as disinfectant and surgeries without anaesthesia is a whole other horror. It hurts trying to imagine what that’s like, for the patients and the medical staff that are helping

This whole thing breaks my heart, but I’ve donated to doctors without borders. It’s not much, but it’s something.
If you’re crazy crypto privacy nut: https://thegivingblock.com/donate/doctors-without-borders-u-s-a-inc/
They don’t accept monero, but easy enough to use a exchange. Because it’s a donation, there’s 180 day transaction limit, so more than enough time for any exchange to just work
Thank you for sharing, I’ve been meaning to check which orgs would be good to donate to
Genocide
surely is
Horrific. The perpetrators should be held to the same account.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The only thing worse than the screams of a patient undergoing surgery without enough anesthesia are the terror-stricken faces of those awaiting their turn, a 51-year-old orthopedic surgeon says.
If more aid doesn’t come in, I fear we’ll get to the point where going to a hospital will do more harm than good,” Mehdat Abbas, an official in the Hamas-run Health Ministry, said.
When Israel cut fuel to the territory’s sole power plant two weeks ago, Gaza’s rumbling generators kicked in to keep life-support equipment running in hospitals.
At Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis this week, nurses and surgical assistants held their iPhones over the operating table, guiding the surgeons with the flashlights as they snipped.
At Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s biggest, where Abed also worked this week, the intensive care unit runs on generators but most other wards are without power.
The scenes — infants arriving alone to intensive care because no one else in their family survived, patients awake and grimacing in pain during surgeries — have traumatized Abed into numbness.
The original article contains 817 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 78%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Well, don’t declare war on a country that you are dependent upon for all your resources and then expect its help.
It’s so strange how people do some mental gymnastics to think that Israel is completely justified in all of their prior and current crimes against humanity.
Heck, the freakin hostages and Israelies in hospital in Israel have publically ridiculed the government and the army, hence Netanyahu is bunkered down hasn’t visited anyone.
Apparently he went to visit the troops for a photo op, and they booed him.
My take on it is that many of the people in the Palestinian territories have a backwards culture where women are relegated to home life and queer people are to be hung. This isn’t just a small pocket of their communities. These are the people in charge. They don’t just want land. They want to eradicate cultures that are different from theirs. Many peace talks occurred over the past half-century, but they always end because the Palestinians just want to get rid of Jews and anyone that doesn’t submit to their narrow worldview. These shitty people allow their leaders to shoot rockets at Israeli cities. They could come to amicable agreements, but don’t. This is what causes the apartheid-like conditions. They did it to themselves. They then decided to let their leaders declare war and are not paying the price. The bad guys are filling their homes, that they know are targets, with women and children. Many people use Islam to justify monstrous actions. They think that all other ways of life are an affront to their beliefs. If the people of Gaza want to continue to exist, they need to get rid of their terrorist government.
It’s almost like they were forced to be dependent on that country and never wanted it in the first place
“dependent on” is a funny way to spell “occupying you”
Palestinians are not Hamas.
Palestine didn’t declare war . . .
Big brain take right here
Hamas is the government of the Gaza Strip. They declared war. The Gaza Strip is now a war zone because the people in charge started a war.
Hamas does not represent the people of Gaza. The civilians. The humans, being bombed mercilessly by Israel
This literally says that it is the defacto government of Gaza. Just because another political body doesn’t agree doesn’t mean that they aren’t the ones controlling the day to do. They don’t have a democracy, which is on them to correct as well. Arab culture does not promote the type of mentality required to support Democracy. It’s just rugged tribalism where women are relegated to a form of slavery and children are indoctrinated to a culture of hate. That population was being regulated by Israel to provide order. They wanted independence from Israel and were unwilling to work on a means to assimilate. It was unable to form a productive society and was just breading terrorists.
Sounds like you’re advocating for a can of Raid. Like they’re “sub-human”
This dude made some points and this is your best response?
Sounds like a bunch of bullshit reasons to excuse bombing children to me
That’s like saying the Provisional IRA was the government of Northern Ireland. Yes they do have a political force but are better described as a paramilitary.
So release the hostages you fucking psychopaths! Want power from Israel? Step one, don’t murder their babies. Step two, don’t take hostages.
This “conflict” didn’t start on October 7th. Israel instigated this with a generation of apartheid and colonialism.

Except the person you’re responding to didn’t mention 40 beheaded babies. They mentioned murdered babies. And yes, Hamas/Islamic Jihad did murder babies. There are pictures.
Snopes:
Let’s be honest, you’re probably too far down the rabbit hole given your callous comment. But for those reading, stay critical of any claims or counter claims, and be careful to avoid the pitfall of cognitive dissonance.
Condemning Hamas doesn’t mean you can’t support innocent Palestinian civilians who are suffering. Condemning Israel war crimes, doesn’t mean you can’t also condemn the murder of innocent Israelis. The situation isn’t black and white.
Can we at least all agree that the multiple babies being killed (whether by Hamas or the IDF) do not deserve to die?
It’s thousands of dead children. Primarily in Gaza.
@Serdan none of whom deserve to die.
Ofc. Just weird to say “multiple” when it’s thousands over decades.
@Serdan I get you now. “Being killed” is the present tense (specifically, the present continuous). I’m talking about the current round of hostilities.
I use “multiple” because since it’s still unfolding we don’t yet have an estimate for how many are being killed.
ngl your comment inspired me to take a second look at the babies shit, apparently there was a whole thing of if the burnt baby picture was fake or not and i honestly can’t make heads or tails out of it. ty for the snopes article.

i’m sorry if i came off dense, thickheaded, or rash; i understand that the situation isn’t black or white. just a lot of people are trying to justify a free pass to genocide 2.1 million people and it’s frustrating to see.
