“I saw the dead body of a father who was basically holding his child perhaps around three years of age. They were burned and charred. We couldn’t separate them. So we had to put both of them together in a body bag.”

The Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah in southern Gaza has shut down after two of its medical staff were killed in an Israeli attack just outside its front doors.

The facility is Rafah’s main hospital and was where most of the victims of an Israeli attack on a tent camp for displaced people in Rafah were seeking treatment.

Out of Gaza’s 36 #hospitals, only 16 are functional, but only in a limited manner. All medical facilities lack critical supplies, staff and medicine.

More than 20,000 people who are either wounded or suffer from chronic or terminal illnesses like cancer, diabetes and cardiac problems need to be evacuated from Gaza.

But since the Israeli occupation of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, no sick or wounded Palestinian has been able to leave Gaza, something that could mean death for many.

“We hold the US government, in addition to the Israeli government, responsible for the slaughter of over 36,000 Palestinians, for the siege and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, and for mass destruction of infrastructure and land. We demand an end to all US funding to the Israeli military now. People of conscience throughout the world are calling for an end to genocide.”

"Palestinian children should wake up feeling excited to go to school and play with their friends.

Instead, for those murdered in Rafah, their last moments on this earth were filled with unimaginable fear as bombs rained down on their tents.

What a monstrous failure of humanity."

“There is seriously something dystopian about this moment when Rafah is on fire being massacred and Palestinian healthcare is beyond overwhelmed after systematic and targeted sieges on hospitals […] While medical institutions in Canada are still seriously talking about how watermelons are considered offensive.”
