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.

    If Hamas was in those hospitals there would still be no moral reason to bomb the civilians in it to dust.

    The “human shields” excuse zionists use only proves that they simply don’t value civilian life because they’re admitting that the so called extremist savages of Hamas overestimated Israel’s willingness to protect noncombatant Palestinian lives.
