Meanwhile, Israel remains accountable to no laws, no treaties and no global organizations. It takes what it wants, when it wants. It kills, destroys, pillages, imprisons, rapes and tortures because it has been allowed to.

Last night in Nasser Hospital, Gaza: 3 dead on arrival. One small girl with a head injury died after admission. Another small girl with 25 holes in her bowel. A young woman paralysed from the waist down. This is what an Israeli ceasefire looks like

Without urgent improvements, more people will die from preventable causes.
