3. Gaza hospital

Just watched interview on Al Jazeera English with a Norwegian doctor who has been to Gaza for many years working at the hospitals there and is very familiar with Al-Quds hospital. He described the situation there as extraordinarily dire and impossible for people to evacuate as Israel is demanding. They no longer have a supply of needles needed for drawing and giving blood. This is a humanitarian crisis of huge magnitude. He spoke about the rules of the Geneva Conference. He has been all over the hospital for years. Knows it inside and out. Has never been barred from any area or seen a locked area he can’t access. He said if he had any indication over the years of Hamas in this hospital he would never work there since he believes strongly in Geneva convention. And how frightened he is for the patients they are trying to care for them. There are over 14,000 people sheltering there as well.
