Over the past day Israeli bombardment of Gaza City has killed at least 50 Palestinians and leveled entire city blocks. Reports say drones struck near Al-Shifa Hospital and Al-Helou Hospital has been shelled; doctors and patients — including 12 premature babies — remain trapped. Doctors Without Borders has suspended operations in Gaza City; its emergency coordinator, Jacob Granger, says clinics are encircled and staff have “no choice but to stop.”
Hundreds of thousands have fled Gaza City with nowhere safe to go. Rami Al-Hassi, who lost a leg in an earlier attack, describes walking south from Beach Camp with a recently fitted artificial limb, sleeping outdoors in the cold and carrying only the clothes he fled in while being strafed by drones, shelled by tanks, and hit from the sea.At the United Nations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “finish the job,” prompting more than 100 diplomats to walk out and thousands to protest. As world leaders meet and negotiate, urgent diplomatic intervention and an immediate cease-fire are needed to protect civilians and secure lasting relief.
