I'm going to start a thread 🧵 of reported violations against healthcare personnel and facilities in #Palestine (there have been numerous reports in #WestBank, #Gaza and #Jerusalem already). 🚑. I'll give sources. Please share if there are any I've missed. 👇

#NotATarget
The @PalestineRCS report today (12/05): "PRCS Central Warehouses as well as Gaza EMS Station were grossly damaged due to an israeli attack on a nearby location" in #Gaza. (photo below) Image
From East Jerusalem - reported yesterday (11/05): Israeli forces seen preventing @PalestineRCS team from accessing wounded. Several are physically pushed back by armed police.

An update from @PHRIsrael for @SafeguardingHC summarising incidents against @PalestineRCS in the West Bank inc. East #Jerusalem on 10/05: Prevention of access to the injured, an attack on the clinic in Al Aqsa, confiscation of equipment, physical assault: safeguardinghealth.org/physicians-hum… Image
Armed Israeli police casually lobbing a year gas grenade at an ambulance and medics. Another forcibly shoves a paramedic. The man filming shouts "they hit the ambulance".

Looks like East #Jerusalem, anyone seen this reported?

BTW, @MedicalAidPal's work tracking attacks on Palestinian healthcare and advocating for accountability depends hugely on our wonderful partners at @LPHR_Lawyers & @AlMezanCenter.

Our joint report on 2014: map.org.uk/downloads/no-m…

And our 2020 follow-up: https://t.co/B8gwxenQhD ImageImage
Infographic from @WHOoPt on attacks on healthcare in the OPT during Ramadan:
- 28 attacks in East #Jerusalem
- 15 in West Bank
- 3 in Gaza (including the bombing of the Hala al Shwa clinic)

37 health workers injured.

All committed with impunity. Image
Following the intense bombardment last night and attacks on civilian buildings, including in Al Wehda street close to Shifa Hospital, our team in #Gaza report that the head of the hospital's internal medicine unit Dr Ayman Abu Al Ouf was killed along with most of his children.
Now @MSF are reporting that one of their clinics in #Gaza was damaged yesterday which provided burns and trauma care. (haven't seen the location reported yet)
Ministry of Health is reporting that the primary healthcare centre in Al Daraj, #Gaza City, was attacked and its work suspended. Haven't seen photos yet.

Dr Yousef Abu Al-Rish, Deputy Health minister reports that targeting of roads leading to Al Shifa Hospital by Israel (the largest general hospital in #Gaza) has impeded emergency medical response. Image
Another doctor reportedly killed along with his children in #Gaza: Dr. Moeen Alalool, one of Gaza's few neurologists.

Re: the earlier post about the killing of Dr Ayman Abu Elouf of Al Shifa Hospital. Here is a heartbreaking photo of his colleagues paying their respects.

Statement from @WHOoPt on Israel's killing of doctors Ayman Abu al-Ouf, (head of internal medicine at Shifa Hospital) and Moen al-Aloul, (psychiatrist for MoH before retirement) in #Gaza. They have documented 74 attacks on Palestinian healthcare since the start of Ramadan. ImageImageImage
Three updates from @PalestineRCS in #Gaza:
1) Bombing of roads emergency service access to shelled areas/hospitals
2) Targeted locations being hit again (seems like a return to 'double tap' from 2014), making it unsafe for teams to respond
(cont'd) Image
3) Bombing intensity is frustating emergency response: "consecutive shelling is preventing moving safely accordingly the teams are unable to provide the services; including needs assessment, Food and Non-Food Items; as well as the provision of Psychosocial First Aid."
🚨 Al Remal medical centre and a Ministry of Health building and the have been struck by Israel in #Gaza City. Lab staff and hotline staff injured - causing the suspension of #COVID19 testing and hotline. Photo via @MiddleEastEye below, with my photo c. 2016 comparison ImageImage
The Al Shawwa building in from of the Ministry of Health building that was targeted also reportedly includes NGO offices that have been damaged. Here is @ThePCRF #Gaza ImageImageImage
More from @MiddleEastEye "Senior Gaza health official Dr Yousef Abu al-Rish has said that Israel has destroyed the besieged territory’s only laboratory testing for the Coronavirus." All testing has apparently now stopped. #Gaza #COVID19 Image
Here's what info we have, as reported by the MOH Image
Statement from the @QRCS on the shelling of their office in #Gaza yesterday, reporting that "two Palestinians were killed and wounding 10 Palestinian citizens."

reliefweb.int/report/occupie…
An attack on healthcare amid the protests in the #WestBank today: @PalestineRCS report that one of their ambulances was targeted and damaged with live ammunition in Al Bireh today (photo below).

Also reported here: english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/… Image
🚨🏥 Another in #Gaza 👇 Report of damage to the Hamad hospital - a rehabilitation hospital providing services and prostheses to people with disabilities. Services were stopped and patients evacuated for fear of their safety.
(Cont'd) Damage caused by bombing nearby rather than a hit on the hospital. Also reported here: gulf-times.com/story/691710/C…

The hospital was opened in 2019, funded by Qatar: aljazeera.com/news/2019/4/22…

Photos of the damage below. ImageImageImage
I haven't kept on top of any developments today for this thread, but note the Ministry of Health in #Gaza reported today that 22 health facilities have been damaged or destroyed since 11 May Image
This one strikes close to home: A women's health clinic supported by @MedicalAidPal has damaged in Israel's bombing of Jabalia refugee camp last night. Our project provides access to services and counselling for women affected by GBV and breast cancer.
(Cond't) My colleague Wafa told us: "the center will not be able to deliver services until a ceasefire is announced and then they will need from 7-10 days to repair the damage of the center and also damage in the street." ImageImageImageImage
More from @BBCNews on the killing of Dr Ayman Abu al-Ouf, head of internal medicine at Al Shifa Hospital who was overseeing COVID-19 response. His mother, farther, wife and two children were killed, leaving his 15-year-old son Omar. A devastating read.

I've noticed that as Israel's genocidal action in Gaza intensifies, the UK government has actually softened its stance on Israel.

Some observations from watching parliament and other statements this past few weeks🧵👇
They are very defensive about having done what they consider their legal obligations re: arms transfers by suspending 30 licenses. 1) that isn't true, and 2) it elides that in situations of mass atrocities the gov't should be looking at the *maximum* it can do, not the minimum
It says it calls for more aid access to north Gaza, but refuses to outline a plan of coercive action to ensure this happens, given that Israel is clearly not listening at all (in defiance of the ICJ!). You are being treated with contempt, so what are you going to do about it?

A short 🧵 on irresponsible media and what is happening to #Gaza's hospitals today.
1/
On Wednesday @PaulNuki wrote in @Telegraph that that the Indonesian Hospital is “empty of patients” of patients and being used “to wage war” by militant groups. He said: "Taking it down with an air strike to finish the fighting must surely be tempting"
2/
 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
This characterisation of the hospital being "empty" is false. We spoke directly to medics inside the hospital that day. They sent us photos showing it overcrowded with people: Staff, patients, children. Our colleague living nearby confirmed it is still treating the wounded.

Some politicians continue to argue that it is 'not the time' for a ceasefire in #Gaza, even with thousands dead.

So here's a thread of major organisations, statespersons and other notables showing leadership and calling for a #CeasefireNOW. I'll try to update regularly.

🧵👇
1. @UNICEF ("Gaza has become a graveyard for thousands of children")
2. UN Secretary General @antonioguterres

An update from @MedicalAidPal's Gaza team this morning: Since Israel's illegal evacuation order yesterday, shelters in the middle area and south are overflowing. Many have no food, no water, no mattresses or blankets, no functioning toilets

1/
Many just sleeping in the streets having evacuated suddenly. Homes opened up for the displaced have 30+ people per apartment, barely enough space to lie down and no provisions. Some considering returning to their homes in evacuated areas even if these are under bombardment

2/
He situation in hospitals is far beyond capacity. Savable people dying, people lying in corridors with serious injuries and not even pain management, just basic work to stop the bleeding. Hospitals have become refugee shelters and are beyond overcrowded 3/

Our hearts break for the families of the 21 people, including 10 children, killed in #Gaza by a fire in Jabalia refugee camp. Such a tragic accident, and one that is sadly all too common in Gaza.

🧵1/
bbc.co.uk/news/world-mid…
Fires and burns injuries are a significant risk to life in Gaza. It is one of the most densely populated places on Earth - 5,453 people/km2 - particularly in refugee camps where buildings are often closely packed and poorly built. When fires start, many are quickly at risk

2/
Israel's suffocating and illegal closure has devastated energy infrastructure and means power outages for approx 12 hours per day. People must therefore rely on generators for electricity, gas burners for heating/cooking, candles for light. All of these bring fire risk

Apropos of nothing, here's a list of the organisations, experts, and other notable persons who have concluded that Israel is imposing a regime of apartheid on Palestinians, or recently warned that this may soon arise.
