While the world is fixated on the war between Iran and Israel, Hamas is using the distraction to unleash a new wave of bloodshed inside Gaza. They are hunting down unarmed Palestinians, dragging them from aid lines, torturing them in basements, and executing them in broad daylight. Anyone suspected of working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is now a target. People who handed out bread and water are being tied up, shot in the streets, or denied medical care by force. In several cases, Hamas fighters stormed hospitals to finish the job, threatening doctors and pulling wounded men from the emergency room to deliver the final bullet, people accused of stealing end up dying under torture or at IC unit. The evidence is overwhelming. Videos show bodies with their hands bound. Men stripped and beaten. Gunshots inside makeshift clinics. Faces crushed, limbs broken, people turned into examples. The message is clear: help the hungry, and you die.


@TIME’s list of the “100 Most Influential People in Health” is out and we’re proud that our retired colleague, Dr. Younis Awadallah is recognized in it. Learn about Dr. Younis' mission of a lifetime: vaccinating children amid a war: unicef.link/44ZurOP
