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.

    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.

        Amusingly stupid.

        You link Israeli strikes and go “look things explode when you drop bombs on them! That’s proof!”

        You somehow think Israel, the country that makes the chains and refuses to substantiate them aren’t aware of your publicly posted Twitter videos… That an entire planet focused on the conflict somehow haven’t analyzed the claims and relevant videos… But you some douchebag on the Internet know better than all of them…

        Get a job, if you finna troll do better.

          Sigh… the secondaries are proof that something explosive was his. Could it be rockets? Which is what I said before you butted into the conversation

            Well I’m glad I’ve gotten your military opinion. Remind me again what your qualifications are? Gunna go ahead and bet it’s not asymmetric warfare, eod, or munitions.

                The definition that directly describes this “war” and iirc actually references it in the sources.

                Ed

                The ongoing conflict between Israel and some Palestinian organizations (such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad) is a classic case of asymmetric warfare. Israel has a powerful army, air force and navy, while the Palestinian organizations have no access to large-scale military equipment with which to conduct operations;[41] instead, they utilize asymmetric tactics, such as knife attacks, small gunfights, cross-border sniping, rocket attacks,[42] and suicide bombings.[43][44]

                You dumb.

                  Yes but you obviously don’t understand what it means. How could secondary explosions be the result of asymmetrical warfare? Fact is Hamas stores rockets in tunnels near Hospitals. If they were actual a state with a professional army I guess they wouldn’t have to, but that seems besides the point.

                    Oh you’re adorable, you speak like you understand war but don’t get how asymmetric warfare is relevant, similarly no one said a secondary explosion is the result of assymetry…

                    Sure, perhaps we’ve not seen it and there’s no proof Israel is willing to provide. That is however the result of asymmetric warfare. If you can’t build a bunker you gotta find somewhere safe to store things.

                    Fun thought experiment, proto Israeli terrorists took part in a civilian bombing campaign starting in 1946. Take a guess where weapons and supplies were routinely found.
