The strike came after the military said it was launching new air and ground operations in central Gaza in an apparent widening of its nearly eight-month offensive, launched after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. An international medical charity had reported soaring casualties even before Thursday’s strike.

Mohammed al-Kareem, a displaced Palestinian sheltering near the hospital, described chaotic scenes outside the facility. He said vehicles arrived one after the other, as distressed people rushed wounded people into the emergency department. Videos circulating online appeared to show several wounded people being treated on the floor of the hospital, a common scene in Gaza’s overwhelmed medical wards.

Later, he saw people searching for their loved ones among bodies wrapped in white shrouds in the hospital courtyard. He said one woman kept asking medical workers to open them up to see if her son was inside.

This is happening so often now, that we don't know if we've already read about it or if it's a new attack.

"Bombing a school a day keeps the Hamas away"

Can't have a next generation of Hamas, if you don't have a next generation.

It can't be any more obvious that the 'human shields' excuses have no substance and are used to justify killing and terrorizing civilians

Another day another war crime to be ignored.

Let's do our best to not ignore them, spread awareness, and pressure our Representatives however we can
