This is active destruction of a #healthcare #system in 2024, while we are busy #designing & #building #better healthcare systems elsewhere. And what does that say about us, our systems & societies when we continue building as usual, while we are aware of and involved in this?
"What is going on is a moral stain on humanity. It is a thing we as humans cannot allow to continue. It must stop." - @WHO on attacks against healthcare in #Gaza #NotATarget

This. Is. Not. Ok. How we treat the most vulnerable reflects who we are as a society. Does a maternity service rely on a bake sale? "Sorry no emergency c section for you, the shop didn't do so well over the weekend"

Gaza’s healthcare system has now been destroyed. No modern society can function without one. The absence of one imposes a death sentence on growing numbers of people: from the ill and sick to the injured to pregnant women. Along with the siege, this is a genocidal act.
The total destruction by ISrael of the most important, 700 beds specialty hospital in Gaza, Al Shifa Medical Complex. It was established 78 years ago during the British Mandate, the name Shifa meaning 'The House of Healing'; now turned into a 'House of Death' by Israel and the
