The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has now weighed in on the hospital situation in northern Gaza.

In a statement, it warned that hospitals in the Palestinian enclave have “reached a point of no return”, risking the lives of thousands of people.

The ICRC said its staff attempting to deliver medical supplies had witnessed “horrendous” scenes, and described the destruction as “unbearable”.

It also highlighted attacks on children’s hospitals, including Al-Rantisi, which we’ve been reporting on today, saying they had “not been spared from violence.”

The humanitarian organisation, which is the guardian of the Geneva Conventions, repeated its demand that hospitals and healthcare workers, under international law, must be protected.

              Because your idiocy is so funny to me. You have no applicable life experience and have to lay out your sympathy cards just to create a sentence

                there’s no “applicable life experience” that justifies genocide.

                  If it really was genocide, why has the population of Gaza increased by 100% in the last decade? Shouldn’t that number go down?

                    Since the breakout of the war, it’s gone down by over 10,000, 40% have been innocent women and children.

                    Because children without parents fuck a lot. Go figure.

                I’m an idiot because I think innocent women and children getting killed is a bad thing? What “life experience” are you even talking about?

                    Makes it hard to keep ignoring them, doesn’t it?
