The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has now weighed in on the hospital situation in northern Gaza.

In a statement, it warned that hospitals in the Palestinian enclave have “reached a point of no return”, risking the lives of thousands of people.

The ICRC said its staff attempting to deliver medical supplies had witnessed “horrendous” scenes, and described the destruction as “unbearable”.

It also highlighted attacks on children’s hospitals, including Al-Rantisi, which we’ve been reporting on today, saying they had “not been spared from violence.”

The humanitarian organisation, which is the guardian of the Geneva Conventions, repeated its demand that hospitals and healthcare workers, under international law, must be protected.

    I’m an idiot because I think innocent women and children getting killed is a bad thing? What “life experience” are you even talking about?

        Makes it hard to keep ignoring them, doesn’t it?

            If I lacked language and thought, I wouldn’t have gotten you to admit that you’re ignoring the killings of innocent women and children.

                Twisted logic like ignoring the deaths of innocent women and children so you can excuse the Israelis bombing hospitals?

                    Not so funny when you can’t ignore all the dead women and children, is it?
