A tiny bit of good news because everything else is so dire

600000 doses of vaccines have been purchased for use in Gaza - MMR, TB etc which probably explains the 8 fridges and 8 solar panels that were delivered recently

60000 babies have either not started or missed their jabs so at least the first step has been made to get them up to date - huge challenge

This is a recording and message from a WHO Member who is at Al Aqsa hospital. You can see patients including a child being treated on a blood stained floor. They are pleading for international protection for Al Aqsa hospital

@Efacsen thank you for that
I have read on BBC I think it was that they want more of the injured and wounded to be evacuated out of Gaza for treatment but right now only approx 10-20 patients are going through
With over 50 thousand injured, it is barely a drop in the water
I do wish that atleast the injured children could be evacuated with their parents
Sepsis is also another huge concern

@Parkingt111 thanks for the updates

I read yesterday that 600 patients had 'left the hospital' and that the remaining most severely injured patients were now all on one ward because of the lack of staff. Corridors still crammed with displaced people

WHO trying to find out where the 600 patients had gone

MAP and IRC medics were also evacuated yesterday

It's both incredible and appalling that newly injured patients are still being brought to the hospital - but then there's nowhere else for them to go

If anyone sees any updates on Al Aqsa hospital then please do post, it's extremely concerning and I know the chances are slim but I am praying for some sort of intervention at the least

Parkingt111 · 08/01/2024 11:02

I just came across the page today

Parkingt111 · 08/01/2024 11:02

There is a page called Gaza Medics voices which has been posting updates. This was the latest one and bbc have also been reporting on Al Aqsa hospital.
This is so difficult to comprehend, doctors and hospitals with injured coming under direct attack, how many lives lost that could have been saved because of it

The situation at Al Aqsa hospital has become much worse, not only that but the WHO has had to cancel operations to delivery medical supplies in the north for the 5th time now due to heavy bombardment and no safety guarantees
They have been trying since the 26th of December, the injuries are increasing and unfortunately the hospitals that are still part functioning just cannot cope as they are running out of space and even the very basic supplies

The wounded and injured figure is now approx 56 thousand

Parkingt111 · 07/01/2024 11:33

@Thereissomelight yes it is. Hopefully we continue to see more of this

This sounds really interesting. I read about the airdrop too and was wondering how they managed to do it

@FOJN same, there Is still a dire need for much more more aid aswell as medical aid. The bombing is still continuous and therefore so are the subsequent injuries

Show quote history

Nice to see a European and a Middle Eastern country working together on this project.

it usually falls to UN/WHO/PRCS when permitted by the army but until then goodness knows what will happen

@Efacsen oh no that's terrible! How will they evacuate the injured?

Efacsen · 06/01/2024 22:23

Al-Asqa hospital given orders to evacuate by IDF so MSF have withdrawn their staff [and their families] from the area

Many injured and displaced people are still sheltering inside the hospital

@Toothyfruity i saw that aswell and was and still am in total disbelief. I have no idea what an earth that could be for.
I'm hoping it's reported on MSM so there can at the least be some accountability for it

@FOJN it is indeed and clever stuff too

Saw a little clip of film with the parcels of aid being pushed out of the plane high above the clouds which then found their way to the right place on the ground using 'guided technology'

It's quite ridiculous that such a small thing cheered me a bit but that's where we are at the moment.

This is a small thing but a tiny ray of hope for the people in Gaza. France and Jordan airdrop 7 tonnes of aid into Gaza for the field hospital.

All sounds pretty dreadful at Al-Asqa

''Dr Ebraheem Matar, who is at Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza, says that Israeli forces are closing in after weeks of intense shelling. He says many doctors and nurses have left, fearful the Israelis “will do there what they did at Shifa and the Indonesian hospital”. Matar said that “the hospital is filled with injured and sick.”

The displaced people living in tents around the hospital are also packing up and leaving

IDK @Toothyfruity when I first saw pics like that I couldn't believe it was intentional but now understand that it's to deliberately 'terrorise' the living-it's both macabre and cruel and completely counter to 'civilised' behaviour?

And there was that awful business of the IDF taking 80 bodies off to Israel looking for hostages tho' all the bodies were male unlike the hostages

And Hamas kidnapping bodies on 7/10 also weird and awful

All very disturbing

Sorry this is almost definitely the wrong thread for this but it's good for up to date information so worth a try.

Why are Israeli bulldozers digging up dead bodies in Gaza? I can't believe I just typed that but I've seen footage and need to know what on earth is going on.

WHO has blood on it's hands wrt destruction of Al Shifa according to Eylon Levy after [un-evidenced] US Intelligence report that Hamas had ''used the Al-Shifa hospital complex and sites beneath it to exercise command and control activities, store weapons and hold ‘at least a few hostages.’”

''And the @WHO still says nothing.

Silence tells terrorists: keep going. Use hospitals as military bases. We’ll turn a blind eye and claim your bases immune to military attack under international law. And when you tell terrorist to keep going, you have blood on your hands.''
