🇵🇸💢 “The disaster is even more severe”: Israeli strike wipes out much of Gaza’s remaining strategic medical stockpile

An Israeli strike destroyed two of four central medicine warehouses at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, including equipment and solutions needed to keep kidney dialysis services operating.

Standing amid the wreckage, hospital director Raed Hussein told Drop Site contributor Abdel Qader Sabbah that the attack would have a “direct impact” on dialysis care and could force the hospital to halt treatment unless replacement supplies are secured.

“The damage is even greater, the disaster is even more severe, and it will make it much harder for us to respond in the coming period,” Hussein said.

Dr. Mounir al-Bursh, director general of Gaza’s Health Ministry, told Al Jazeera Arabic that the warehouses held the ministry’s strategic medical stockpile and that the strike destroyed large quantities of medicines and supplies.

More than 52% of medicines and 54% of medical supplies are now unavailable, including dialysis supplies, al-Bursh said.

He warned that Israel’s blockade, restrictions on medical imports, and repeated attacks on Gaza’s remaining healthcare infrastructure are depriving thousands of patients of treatment.

“The loss of these warehouses means losing life-saving medicines and making patient care even more difficult.”

“Semantic derogation” mirrors social attitudes. The fact that many female terms (such as mistress, spinster) acquired negative meanings while their male counterparts (master, bachelor) remained neutral or positive has been cited as evidence that language reinforces historical power structures.

De premier noemt het geweld en intimidatie van de laatste dagen "lelijk vandalisme". Dat klinkt alsof een kwajongen een prullenbak heeft vernield. Dit is geen kapotte prullenbak. Noem het beestje bij de naam. Dit is politiek gemotiveerd extreemrechts geweld en intimidatie.

Wat een lelijk vandalisme in Engelen. Samenleven is een van de kernwaarden van Nederland. Verschillende meningen mogen daarbinnen bestaan, daarover gaan we met elkaar in gesprek.

Accurate except for one category missing: the gaslighting men who think they are on that far left side, who think it's impossible for them to be misogynistic and will fight others on that. Nah, we are all fallible and fail sometimes in our thoughts and deeds. I'm not perfect, I make assumptions

DAWN RAIDS UK citizens, mostly pensioners, are being shockingly awoken at dawn in counter-terrorism raids, with mobile phones seized. Why? Because they posted videos online stating their opposition to Israel’s genocide and support for Palestine Action smashing the weapons used.

Clay Jones knocking it out of the park as usual. Hogsbreath with a bottle of booze and Viagra. And that post-it note with Bob and Doug McKenzie just puts it over the top. I can’t tell who’s flying around the Washington Monument on broomsticks but I believe one of them is the Gilead Keebler Elf.

A political cartoon by Clay Jones.
Orange trumpty Dumpty is sitting behind a desk. Pete Hogsbreath is standing in front. He is holding a bottle of booze and a bottle of Viagra. Words coming from the Orange Shitler read — 

PETE, does our military have enough testosterone to handle Canada attacking our air, China attacking our elections, Iran attacking our strait of hormuz and antifa attacking our reflecting pool?

Extra little goodies in the cartoon also feature the Washington Monument outside the window wearing a mask, and several congresspeople flying around on brooms. He has a sippy cup that says — blame China. There are McDonald’s fries , a bucket of chicken and a bottle of ketchup on the Resolute Desk. There is also a nod to The Great White North — a postit note with containing the photo of Bob and Doug McKenzie. Oooh woo ho woo ho woo ho hoo hooo!

42 years ago, Mary Manning — a 21-year-old Dublin cashier — refused to ring up South African grapefruit. She was suspended. Ten colleagues walked out with her, and their strike lasted almost three years, until Ireland became the first Western country to ban apartheid goods.
