The European Hospital in Rafah, which was bombed and badly damaged two weeks ago, contains vital medical equipment that exists nowhere else in Gaza – such as neurosurgery microscopes and cardiac catheterisation equipment. Because of structural damage from Israel’s bombing, the building is unsafe and the equipment cannot be used.
Amid the inflicted devastation in Gaza, most hospitals – relentlessly targeted for bombing, shelling and raids, have been put out of commission. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has asked Israel to allow it to relocate the European Hospital’s equipment to a different hospital – but Israel, determined to remove or kill the whole of Gaza’s Palestinian population, has refused the WHO’s request.
One more cruel, needless, criminal act to add to Israel’s endless list of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The most inhumane country in the “developed” world.
“THERE have been 600 days of bombing. 600 days of starvation. 600 days of crimes against humanity.
“With these words, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn demanded today that the British government end its complicity in Israel’s assault on Gaza as the genocide reached the sombre milestone of 600 days.
“Mr Corbyn, independent MP for Islington North, asked: “How many more days of genocide until our government ends arms sales to Israel?
“The world could have stopped this,” he insisted. “Instead, our political leaders have allowed Israel to act with total impunity…..

More dehumanisation from the illegal occupation force.
Just read it is planning more illegal settlements in the West Bank & East Jerusalem which it has occupied (despite UN resolutions) since the Middle East war in 1967.
It already has 160 illegal settlements there housing 700,000 settler colonialists.
And despite The Balfour Declaration saying “A Jewish home” and NOT a country or state” and “This should do nothing that would detrimentally affect the indigenous (Palestinian) population.”
(Regan.B, The Balfour Declaration).
This is barefaced land theft supported by a complicit West.
The daily Barbarism from the Israeli Occupation Force & injustices continue.
Free Palestine!
