Urgent appeal from #AlQuds #hospital in #Gaza's City which was ordered by #Israel ‘a army to immediately evacuate or risk being bombed. The Hospital refused pleading that 400+ patients, many in intensive care risk dying. #healthcare #medicine #Doctors -
After ordering the forced evacuation of Gaza’s Al-Quds hospital the Israeli army carried out bombardments very close to the hospital, causing significant damage to the hospital & breathing difficulties for patients & displaced civilians sheltering there.

For the record, & to respond to those who have genuine questions/concerns, I’ll try to address some of them in this thread: I am the principal researcher & author of these @amnesty’s report on #Russia’s #WarCrimes in #Ukraine : amnesty.org/en/wp-content/…
& amnesty.org/en/latest/rese…
I am not THE author, but one of 3 researchers and several other colleagues who worked on @amnesty’s press release of 4 August. I was not part of the team who liaised with Amnesty Ukraine about the manner & timing of the publication of this press release, so have no info on this.
Re this CBS documentary cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-m… : That interview was recorded on 2 May. The point I made (18.45) is that any state providing weapons to other states should have robust mechanisms in place to ensure traceability, as weapons can last longer than wars & governments.
