‘We cannot operate, we have no drugs’: Gaza’s indirect casualties mount as health service decimated​

Tens of thousands with life-threatening illnesses ‘defenceless’ after months without treatment, say doctors

Health services in Gaza are “decimated”, with medical staff exhausted after three months of war forced to extract shrapnel without adequate pain relief, conduct amputations without anaesthetics and watch children die of cancers because of a lack of facilities and medicine.
Dozens of interviews with doctors and medical administrators in Gaza reveal a catastrophic and deteriorating situation as health services struggle to cope with tens of thousands of casualties of the continuing Israeli offensive in the territory and the effects of the acute humanitarian crisis.

Attention has focused on the direct casualties of Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, but medical specialists are increasingly concerned about indirect victims of the war.
Tens of thousands in Gaza with chronic life-threatening illnesses have gone without treatment for months, and are now “without defences”, their bodies’ weakened by malnutrition, cold and fatigue, doctors say. In one incident described to the Guardian, a child with a brain condition died hours before a UN team arrived with vital medicine.

Cancer specialists told the Guardian they had been unable to treat patients in desperate need, including children with leukaemia or tumours requiring immediate life-saving surgery.
“We have nothing to give them. We cannot operate and we have no drugs at all,” said Dr Subhi Sukeyk, the director general of oncology for Gaza, who is also director general of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship hospital in Gaza City. The principal oncology department of the hospital was forced to close in early November.

No you said that bibi has only been saying that the Palestinians shouldn’t have a state after 10/7. This has been debunked by multiple posters in this thread but you keep repeating this lie. You provided a quote of him talking about a potential stste but there’s numerous quotes where he says this should not happen.

i never said that. i said he's been open to a palestinian state before 10/7 and provided quotes from 2023 (there have been many over the years). they were actively discussing pre-conditions to a saudi deal to include a path forward for a palestinian state a week before the attacks. of course, hamas had other ideas.............

The Anti Semitism from the squad is amazing. How do we allow elected AMerican Politicians to be outright racist? Besides Tlaib basically admitting she does not believe Israel has a right to exist, as confirmed by her fellow politicians, NY Dem and moron progressive Jamaal Bowman, actually praised the Oct 7th terror attacks. Again showing the difference between the sides. No Jew praises the loss of life of Palestinians. No Jews celebrate the death and rape of civilians. But here we have an elected American official saying he is in awe of a man that celebrated the attacks...a man that has since retracted some due to the brutal nature of the kidnappings and rapes in Norman Finklestein. You can be pro Palestinian and still admit the kidnappings, rapes and targeting of Israeli youth was a terror attack and wrong. Conversation may be different if Hamas attacked Israeli Military. But that's not what terrorists do, they target easy civilians and put their own civilians in harms way as shields.

What are you trying to dispute here? Are you doing that thing again where you argue in circles like you do with most posters here?

lol. you keep lying and i'm pointing that out to you. you made up the "95%" and you said " posting how they are using dummy bombs and how there are ways of using these bombs that Israel isn’t doing" and i pointed out this is also a lie.

My point was that Israel has been bombing with dummy bombs and just bombing indiscriminately and killing Palestinians.

and i posted how the US DOD "noted Israel is doing everything it can to mitigate civilian harm and casualties, including with its use of unguided munitions.

which is counter to you just stating "indiscriminately".

I pointed to the fact that they have a high tech military and a capability to drone kill high ranking terrorists yet they choose to inflict maximum damage and kill civilians instead.

they ARE killing high ranking terrorists. that in itself does nothing to limit / eliminate their control over gaza or their capacity to carry out terror attacks. you have to know this. it's bizarre people bring this up as a potential strategy.

No Jew praises the loss of life of Palestinians. No Jews celebrate the death and rape of civilians.

You're full of shit, their is literally TikTok trends of Israeli's mocking and making fun of the plight of the Palestinian civilian population. The IDF video tapes themselves clowning around as they blow children to smithereens.

How Israeli settler violence forces Palestinians to flee their homes​

Masafer Yatta, the most rural and desolate area in the West Bank, is home to about 1,000 Palestinians. The community are mostly herders who raise goats and sheep, and have steadfastly refused to leave their homes despite the mounting difficulties posed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers on the one hand and radical Israeli settlers on the other.

Pressure mounts on Israel over its rejection of two-state solution​

By Loveday Morris Emily Rauhala and Hazem Balousha

Israel’s war against Hamas is seeding hate, and a two-state solution is needed, European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Monday amid escalating international pressure on Israel to work toward a long-term political road map to peace.

Commenting before a day of intense diplomacy in Brussels — where European foreign ministers are gathering alongside counterparts from Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Arab League — Borrell said he knows that Israel has “a different stand.”

“Which are the other solutions they have in mind?” he asked, referring to the Israelis. “To make all the Palestinians leave? To kill … them?” He added that the current Israeli military operation that has killed 25,000 people in the Gaza Strip is “seeding the hate for generations.”

But as he spoke, Israel appeared to be intensifying its operations in the densely packed southern part of the enclave. Amid heavy bombardment, families reported having to flee southwestern zones including the seaside al-Mawasi area, which had been designated by Israel as a safe zone.


The Palestine Red Crescent Society said it has completely lost contact with teams in the southern city of Khan Younis due to the Israeli “ground invasion.”

Israeli troops had stormed al-Khair Hospital in western Khan Younis and detained medical staff, the Gaza Health Ministry said. Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra called the health situation in Gaza “catastrophic and indescribable.” The Washington Post was unable to verify the report.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has said he is proud of his historic efforts to block Palestinian statehood, has repeatedly rejected the idea. A Palestinian state is an “existential danger” to Israel, he reiterated Sunday, vowing to continue to oppose it as long as he is prime minister.

But the bloodshed of the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 and devastating pace of civilian casualties in Israel’s ensuing war have revived a push for a two-state solution. The notion of two states for two people is broadly supported in the international community, including by the United States and the United Nations.

“I think that we have to stop talking about the peace process and start talking more concretely about the two-state solution process,” Borrell said ahead of the meetings in Brussels, where he will present a 12-point plan to revitalize the Middle East peace process.

The plan “aims to address the conflict and occupation that preceded the Gaza war and that, if left unaddressed, must be expected to lead to further wars,” according to a copy obtained by The Washington Post.

“There is no credible comprehensive solution other than an independent Palestinian State living side by side with Israel, in peace and security, with full normalization and substantive development of security and economic cooperation between Israel, Palestine and the region,” it said. It called for the establishment of a “Preparatory Peace Conference” at “the earliest opportunity” to discuss a lasting solution.

Middle Eastern countries represented in Brussels on Monday have also been working on plans to end the conflict, with Saudi Arabia explicitly tying normalization of relations with Israel to a credible path to Palestinian statehood.

What a nerd.

[Gunny]

For those who need to see it, here's one of the Hamas billionaires-in-hiding rejecting a two state solution and insisting that Oct 7th proved the need for ongoing "resistance". Let us not be naive about the nature of this conflict.

 

[Joe_Armstrong]

I find it strange that many are calling for Israel to stop the attacks in Gaza,
but very few are calling for hamas to release the hostages.

I find it strange that many are calling for Israel to stop the attacks in Gaza,

One total has gone from 230 people @ oct 7. ( down to 130 now ).and they definitely should be freed. Definitely shouldn't even have been taken.... but that aside. It decreases.


The other total has gone from 0 to 25 000 plus since October 7. And continues to increase.

Is it really that strange?

No children are being blown to smithereens in those demolition videos you're referencing. Quit exaggerating.

Yeah, it's strange because releasing the hostages is required to achieve a ceasefire.. so if that's someone's aim, they should be demanding it.
