As the official death toll in Gaza passes more than 42,400, the true number may be impossible to know until Israel’s war is over. But medical workers who witnessed the carnage in Gaza’s hospitals are speaking out. We speak with Dr. Feroze Sidhwa about his op-ed in The New York Times that features harrowing stories from dozens of healthcare workers and CT scans of children shot in the head or the left side of the chest.
The Times called the corresponding images of the patients too graphic to publish. “I personally wish that Americans could see more of what it looks like when a child is shot in the head, when a child is flayed open by bombs,” says Sidhwa. “I think it would make us think a little bit more about what we do in the world.”
We also speak with Palestinian nurse Rajaa Musleh, who worked at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. “I will never forget the dogs were eating the dead body inside Shifa Hospital at the front of the emergency department.
This will be stuck on my mind for my whole life,” says Musleh. “My message for the whole world: We are human beings. We are not numbers. We have the right to receive healthcare inside Gaza.”
Most moral army on earth. No one has ever done so much to prevent civilian casualties.
Zios gotta bomb more hospitals so this evidence doesn’t get out.
(I’m being sarcastic ofc but they’re not.)
This is crazy. But its especially crazy that they’re doing child headshots from sniper drones.
I repeat “Sniper Drones”. Let that sink in.

“democracy dies in darkness”, yet there is seemingly no journalists with any integrity, capable of showing the world the reality of the war machine. “Out of sight, out of mind” enables war and genocide.
Never before in human history have such heinous war crimes been so thoroughly documented.
And the world stands by and does nothing.
Tbf, anyone who tried would be liberated back into the stone ages. They’d be liberated so hard, their great-grandchildren will still be hurting from it.
Ireland and South Africa have already done great work, and nobody is going to invade them
Probably a quarter of the countries at the UN have done something. Hell, like 20 countries at the UN don’t even recognize Israel as a State
The problem is that the US blocks everything with veto power. This is why the ICJ case for genocide is so important; the US can’t veto in the ICJ, and even the judges at the ICJ are independent. They don’t represent the US
Its great work and I’m not looking to take anything away from them but I meant more direct action than Ireland, South Africa or anyone else is comfortable doing, with what America would do to them if they did.
I mean like, as in if their neighbours try to stop their neighbours from being killed.
