the head of the who has called the health care situation in gaza, catastrophic what are your colleagues now seeing on the ground there? that is not an understatement, from what my colleagues are describing this is a full frontal military attack on an entire population, who has nowhere to go, nowhere to escape and part of this has been a systematic destruction of the healthcare, so it direct bombing destruction of the healthcare, so direct bombing of healthcare facilities, bombing of ambulances including very clearly marked vehicles, doctors without borders vehicles and the siege style warfare in which there is a denial of the most basic items necessary to do medical care but also the most basic items necessary for survival, food, water, the medical supplies and so on. really, the systematic nature and the brutal nature of the way hostilities are being conducted represent egregious violations of international humanitarian law that very likely amount to war crimes. i m sure
