Today Israel bombed Nasser to kill more journalists, waited until rescue workers got up to the scene on the 4th floor, then bombed them as well. This is a video of the second strike. We are arming a country that murders first responders and journalists in hospitals.

Thank you to the @cfr.org and @thinkglobalhealth.org for publishing an analysis of US-Israeli attacks on hospitals by me and @lenrubenstein.bsky.social today, link below.
Of the 3,623 hospital attacks recorded globally last year, 26% occurred in Gaza, where 0.03% of the world's population lives.

During the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Clayton Dalton travelled through Gaza visiting hospitals, getting an unusually complete picture of the state of Gaza’s medical infrastructure. He witnessed a health-care system in ruins.
The Last Hospitals in Gaza
In the ruins of a health-care system, many medical facilities have become graveyards. Doctors continue to deliver lifesaving care—but they risk their own lives in the process.
