  • *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.

    I don’t know, I like my vagina but have often wished I was born male, just for how much easier life would be. This is biased of course.

    On the other hand, I’ve never ever been mad or jealous of other people who wanted to change their gender or be themselves sexually (lbgtq+). Isn’t none of my business and people should have the right to do with their genitals as they please. It’s a basic human right, just like abortion.

    We should disconnect our bodies from any labels is my point. That way, no government or religion can have an influence on it. The ‘My body, my choice’ is still the right way to go.

    I’ve always wondered even as a child why we can’t get rid of genders and just call it human and nonhuman (to include our alien friends).

    It would make life so much easier for everybody, except for writers I guess.
