🏥 Dr. Munir Al-Barsh, Director General of Gaza’s Ministry of Health, outlined several urgently needed steps to support the medical needs in Gaza.

“We demand justice, not pity,” he said. “The health sector is devastated and suffering severely after two years of extermination. The world must stand...

▪️ Field hospitals must be established in the north, center, and south to relieve pressure. Over 17,000 patients need urgent treatment already approved by WHO.

▪️ “Children with cancer and deformities, women with chronic diseases — this is their right.”

▪️ Water and sewage networks must be repaired to prevent epidemics such as cholera, diarrhea, and skin diseases.

▪️ A program is needed to employ health graduates, technicians, and administrators to sustain operations.

▪️ Support is required for prosthetics, assistive devices, and rehabilitation programs to reintegrate people with disabilities into work, education, and society.

Dr.Muneer Alboursh د.منيرالبرش via X (@Dr_Muneer1):
We are facing major challenges in the health sector and thousands of wounded are still in hospitals, while saving patients and restoring hospitals requires a long time… The occupation destroyed Gaza City’s hospitals including Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital, Sheikh Radwan Clinic, large parts of Hamad Hospital and the Psychiatric Hospital… Thirty-eight hospitals were destroyed and only around twelve remain partially functioning with operating rooms, intensive care units and laboratories destroyed and severe shortages of beds, blood units and ventilators… There are power and water cuts and even clean water is almost unavailable in hospitals… More than 1700 health workers were martyred and over 360 were arrested… Medical teams are physically and mentally exhausted after two years of continuous work… Diseases have spread amid overcrowding and displacement with rising cases of skin infections and diarrhea and disruption of supply chains… More than 17000 wounded must be evacuated immediately and their names are approved by the United Nations… We have estimated our health sector needs at over 7 billion dollars… What is urgently required is to rescue the system by rehabilitating and reopening hospitals or establishing field hospitals, dispatching surgical missions, and supplying medicines, emergency and intensive care materials, chronic disease treatments, vaccines and antibiotics, and opening safe and permanent medical corridors… The

I can no longer tell the difference between MAGA, the Tories or Labour/UK govt who manufacture crises & outrage to target organisations they don’t like (PS this includes the NHS).
Meanwhile, universities and the NHS (both gems of the UK) are collapsing on this govt’s watch to enable privatisation.

The North American Badgers sound savage. European badgers can be, especially when they have young… this husky was on a leash. Sadly I’ve only ever seen them squashed on the road in the UK 😔

Delighted to hear Scottish Finance Minister Ivan McKee emphasise his commitment to BDS in Scotland.

He emphasises that we must keep pressure on politicians - it gives them the mandate to proceed with this.

CNN reports Israel will not release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya as part of the ceasefire deal with Hamas. The eminent pediatrician was detained in Dec. during Israel’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital, after he refused to abandon patients under siege.

Some errors in this article.
1) ‘military campaign’ —> the UN & multiple international agencies, genocide scholars & human rights lawyers have declared it a genocide.
2) number of deaths is 66,000 (not 63,000), ~80% civilians.

Israel Premier-Tech are finished.

Massive respect to Derek Gee, leaving the team on grounds of conscience, which has come at huge personal cost.

His treatment should be a stark warning to any riders considering signing with this team in the future (TBH I think the team is finished).
