State Department ‘discrimination’ traps relatives of Palestinian Americans in Gaza

„The most annoying thing is when they start talking about how they are against the displacement of people. It means that in that context, you are okay with them dying. Because if they are not displaced right now, they can die at any minute,“ Dawoud said.

The current process for getting the families of US citizens as well as legal permanent residents out of Gaza begins with those individuals applying to the State Department on their relatives‘ behalf by using an online crisis intake form.

The State Department then reviews that form, and if approved, it sends that list to Egypt and Israel for further review.

Once that review is completed and approved, the list is sent over to Palestinian authorities in Gaza, who publish a daily list of the individuals approved to leave via the Rafah border crossing.

WHO-led joint UN and Red Crescent mission evacuates 31 infants from Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza

(19 November 2023)

The evacuation, which was requested by health workers and patients during the joint mission yesterday, became necessary as Al-Shifa Hospital is no longer able to function due to a lack of clean water, fuel, medical supplies, food, other essential items and the intense hostilities. WHO remains deeply concerned about the safety and health needs of patients and health workers who remain at Al-Shifa Hospital, and in the few partially functional hospitals in the north that face imminent closure.

Al-Shifa Hospital, previously the largest and most advanced referral hospital in Gaza, together with other hospitals, must be fully restored to provide urgently needed health services in Gaza

We have now managed to speak to my Dad who is in the south of Gaza near Rafah. He reports the medical situation is beyond imagining. Bombing has continued even in Rafah.

There are thousands in the streets with nowhere to go. Medics can no longer reach many. 1/3

There are no facilities and no medications to treat those who can be reached. Al Shifa hospital in North is flooded with wounded people who can‘t flee. Ppl in Gaza have been told by IDF to go to Khan Younis but everything in Khan Younis has already been bombed. 2/3

A friend of ours, a nurse, stayed at Al Shifa. Her family fled to the South as they were told to do. They were struck by an airstrike in the South.

As the United Nation’s agency responsible for public health, the World Health Organization (WHO) strongly condemns Israel‘s repeated orders for the evacuation of 22 hospitals treating more than 2000 inpatients in northern Gaza.
