of course, the second was carried out by the israeli military on al—shifa hospital, which it has been and control centre for hamas in the past. it said hamas returned to the site after it earlier withdrew, and it was acting on precise intelligence, they sent forces in there two weeks ago and they say in the course of operations, one of the most successful, they say, of the war, so far, they killed some 200 palestinian armed gunmen, members of hamas and islamichhad. they rounded up several hundred, including, they say, senior members of both of those organisations. they say they have important intelligence as a result of all of this. for palestinians, though, they say that many innocent lives have been lost in the course of this operation. hamas said doctors and patients were killed. certainly we could see at various points there were large numbers of displaced people, hundreds of them that were caught up in the fighting that went on at close quarters in the hospital and the area around it, before most of those were able to flee. there were residents of the area who were complaining th

you have been posting on. social media about al-shifa hospital social media about al—shifa hospital afterhe situation on the ground in terms of humanitarian aid and food and also medicines and access to any sort of health cover? there is simply not enough health care workers and health care facilities to meet the needs of more than 2 million people who are suffering because of starvation and hunger and malnutrition and access to poor water, just constant bombardment, normal illnesses, diarrhoea, hepatitis which is sadly flourishing because of the sanitation crisis. just not enough support and not enough hospitals. bottom line in all of this, if we are going to change the reality and improve the reality for more than 2.2 million people in gaza, we need a ceasefire and a humanitarian ceasefire and a permanent ceasefire and we need an opportunity to instead of focusing on different parties, focusing on caring for people for the people of gaza and those who care for them, humanitarians, and do not forget that the seven lives were lost last night, 196 humanitarians have lost their lives becaus
