Silent deaths among Gaza's sick and wounded denied medical evacuation
More than 18,000 residents of the Palestinian enclave are waiting to be transferred to hospitals abroad. Because of Israel's blockade and the limited willingness of Western countries to accept patients, around 1,000 have already died.

Trump's so-called war on drugs to justify alleged war crimes against Venezuela feels eerily like Bush's so-called war on terror to justify invading Iraq. The media should interrogate war mongers, not parrot them. Let's not let history repeat itself.
