More than 100 Gaza doctors remain in Israeli custody, most without charge, and many tortured. There have died in custody.
"מערכת בריאות היא חלק בלתי נפרד משגשוגה והישרדותה של חברה כקהילה וכקולקטיב. מתקפה על מערכת הבריאות היא מתקפה על החברה העזתית." דברים שאמר אתמול ד"ר גיא שלו, מנכ"ל רופאים לזכויות אדם, בראיון באל-ג'זירה.

Russia's grotesque attack on Kyiv's children's hospital, the largest in Ukraine, and according to expert missile analysis, was likely controlled, brings to almost 750 the number of strikes on hospitals in the war. Accountability is essential

Might want to check what I said and the facts. I said airstrikes or shelling, not bombing alone; per @WHO , 32 of 36 hospitals damaged. And some hospitals were bombed. CNN, using satellite imagery found 20 airstrikes on hospitals in the first two months, with 14 direct hits.
Johns Hopkins University Professor Leonard Rubenstein says 90% of hospitals in Gaza have been bombed by the IDF. There is no evidence of IDF bombing hospitals, not even Al Shifa when Hamas was firing out of it. No wonder college kids are so uninformed.

I discuss two unique features of attacks on health care in Gaza as compared to other wars -- the vastness of the destruction of health infrastructure and the many violent ground assaults on hospitals
Hospitals in Gaza are near collapse despite protections under international law - NPR's Juana Summers talks with @lenrubenstein about the unprecedented Israeli attacks on hospitals in Gaza, and what international law could do to protect them.

Biden must reject assurances by Israel on aid and IHL compliances as not credible, and cut off offensive weapons transfers.
