🇵🇸💢 “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.” By @AbdSabbah91 and Jawa Ahmad.

GOP Rep Thomas Massie: “Don’t fall for the fake Fox/GOP outrage. Two weeks ago the House passed a bill that greenlighted the transfer of Spanish territory to Morocco. Every Republican except me voted for it, but now THEY are acting shocked at the invasion.”

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

I dunno but it should probably be a bigger deal that the White House announced it wants to slap a 100% tariff on drug imports at the same time it is eliminating Medicare drug subsidies. And we’re talking about critical life-saving drugs like insulin, blood thinners, antibiotics, and heart meds.

India supplies approximately 50% of all U.S. generic drugs, and these face the highest tariff rates: • Antibiotics: Penicillin, amoxicillin • Cardiovascular medications: Generic versions of cholesterol drugs, blood thinners • Diabetes medications: Metformin, insulin analogs • Pain relievers: Ibuprofen, acetaminophen 2. China-Dependent Active Ingredients China supplies active ingredients for: • >95% of ibuprofen and acetaminophen • ~45% of penicillin • Many other commonly used medications' base components
