  • *Nov 19 (Reuters) - A humanitarian assessment team visited Al Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza and saw signs of shelling and gunfire in what was described as a “death zone,” the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Sunday.

    The WHO-led team, which included public health experts, logistics officers and security staff from various U.N. departments, was able to spend only an hour inside the hospital on Saturday due to security concerns, WHO said in a statement.

    The team described the hospital as a “death zone” and said the situation was “desperate,” with the hospital basically not functioning as a medical facility due to scarcity of clean water, fuel, medicine and other essentials.

    “Signs of shelling and gunfire were evident. The team saw a mass grave at the entrance of the hospital and were told more than 80 people were buried there,” the WHO statement said.

    The hallways and hospital grounds were filled with medical and solid waste, and patients and health staff expressed fear for their health and safety, it said. There were 25 health workers and 291 patients, including 32 babies in critical condition, remaining in Al Shifa, WHO said.*

    “WHO and partners are urgently developing plans for the immediate evacuation of the remaining patients, staff and their families,” it said.



  • Their statement would have been fine if they left the god and religion part out of it…

    *The following statement was released, “In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful. With the help of God Almighty, our air defenses were able to shoot down an American MQ9 aircraft. The aircraft was conducting hostile, monitoring, and spying activities within Yemeni territorial waters. These activities were carried out within the framework of American military support for the Israeli entity.

    The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their legitimate right to defend the country and confront all hostile threats with the appropriate weapons, with God’s help. Yemen’s armed forces vow to continue military operations against Israel to support Palestine.” *

    Also, here’s a backstory to the Houthis in short: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/who-are-yemens-houthis-why-did-they-attack-israel-2023-11-01/

    I’m all for the Palestinian cause, but I don’t like the Houthis’ slogan. Or they should get a better PR firm.












  • Letting them in means letting Hamas in, means destabilising your country and government which can lead to governments being overthrown, kings assassinated etc… Which has happened before.

    They just don’t want to get involved in a war that can be easily solved with the two state solution, instead of spilling over in the region, right when they’re doing better. Also, you know why would they, when Israel is screaming for making a parking lot from Gaza, instead of letting civilians live there. They know those refugees will never go back. So, would you give up a piece of your country for them?

    Aside from that, let’s not forget that those countries already have accepted millions of refugees from the wars in the past decades and while Europe took in only a fraction of that (although most Europeans think they took in much more).

    So, there’s that.
