At least 190 people killed and 340 wounded in Gaza over the last 24 hours.
Dozens reported killed in the besieged southern city of Khan Younis as Israeli forces target hospitals, ambulances, and schools where thousands of civilians are sheltering.
Dr Ahmed al-Moghrabi, head of plastic surgery and burns at Khan Younis’s Nasser Hospital, says there is “bombing all around us”.
At least 25,295 people have been killed and 63,000 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from the October 7 Hamas attack stands at 1,139.
600 People are Missing from Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah, Central Gaza
From the article, written January 8th, 2024: "The majority of medical staff, as well as around 600 patients, have been forced to leave the complex to unknown locations with no information of their whereabouts, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) reported on Monday [January 8th, 2024].
The two institutions note chaotic scenes as the remaining staff at the hospital continues to try to cope with an influx of injured people as 'heavy Israeli bombardment from air, land, and sea intensified across much of the Gaza Strip.'"
"So, you're probably asking about the donations, about the aid trucks you sent to Gaza. And why are people starving and dying because of hunger?
I'll answer.
Your donations are in the desert. 15,008 trucks are in Sinai desert now and Israel, who is rolling the crossing between Palestine and Egypt, is not allowing anything from entering Gaza; any medical support, any humanitarian workers, any journalists, any aids, anything.
Nothing is allowed into Gaza, even the Palestinians who are originally from Gaza are not allowed now to enter Gaza.
So I think we should publish and focus about this because you ask about the donations and no one is answering.
They are in the desert.
You are donating to the desert. Hm. Problem."
As allies we must shift our focus to not just demanding and writing and calling about a ceasefire and donating from the comfort of our homes. I know not all of us have. I see the protests and headlines and footage.
But clearly that is not enough.
We need backup. So the ones that stayed home? Time to go outside.
The peaceful protests and donations aren't enough, we need ones that disrupt.
We need people to start shutting down highways and airports and stalling more military cargo ships while demanding that the illegal occupation and genocide of Palestine ends immediately.
We need to be outside of every governor's office, the capitol, and the WH. We need to be blocking the entrance to lockheed martin, Boeing, and the Pine Bluff Arsenal providing rockets and chemical weapons to Israel to stop them at the root.
Not a single politician or weapons manufacturer employee in the USA should be able to clock into work until an END to the occupation is called. Not a ceasefire. Not a pause.
Every day this goes on is a day we lose more innocent lives. There is no time to waste.
Motaz Azaiza has been reporting extremely heavy bombing in Gaza around Al-Shifa hospital very close to him.
