An excellent piece by @attackerman.bsky.social in @wired.com on the current situation of Gaza's hospitals

WIRED@wired.com

Seven foreign doctors and aid workers who volunteered in Gaza described a perverse situation in which Israel permits doctors into Gaza but not medical equipmentโ€”even months into a supposed ceasefireโ€”prompting several to smuggle medical supplies in, even as they treat new casualties of war.

"The scientific literature shows that more than 120,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023. If one attempts to account for the most obvious of design limitations in the Gaza Mortality Survey, itโ€™s clear that the death toll is likely greater than 215,000." - @ferozesidhwa.org

Once again, the American medical establishment throws its professed values out the window. GWU even forbid the students from holding a Zoom meeting with me. Keep in mind in the past two years I'm published in NEJM, JACS, JTACS, Dialogues in Health, World Journal of Surgery...

Today Israel bombed Nasser to kill more journalists, waited until rescue workers got up to the scene on the 4th floor, then bombed them as well. This is a video of the second strike. We are arming a country that murders first responders and journalists in hospitals.
