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.

    Aside from the the fact that it’s unproven and disputed by the ICRC and doctors there are around 20000 civilians taking shelter in the hospital. Even assuming they are there as human shields that doesn’t give Israel licence to kill indiscriminately.

    Israel is deliberately targeting civilians as part of its Dahiya Doctrine of excessive force and coming up with flimsy excuses which Western media accepts as gospel.

            There’s literally no evidence of it your eyes cannot have seen that which doesn’t exist.

                I’ll believe that when me shit turns purple and tastes of rainbow sherbet.

                Somehow you have proof of something the entire world would live to have but wait… We’ll all have to trust you the random Internet douchebag with too much confidence and a shitty attitude.

                We call that an anecdote, you need supporting evidence which we all know you do not have.

                  Your entire world is you and the people who agree with you. People that don’t are not part of your world. Open source intelligence is a thing.

                    Not at all babe, similarly that was a terrible attempt at gaslighting. Do better.

                    Indeed it is, I can’t help but notice you didn’t provide any intelligence and I bet if I get into it your ip isn’t now nor has it ever likely been in the area of the Levant point blank period.
