Little light, no beds, not enough anesthesia: A view from the 'nightmare' of Gaza's hospitals
apnews.com

The state of Gaza's hospitals: Surgeries without anesthesia and with only mobile phones for light. Vinegar from the corner store as disinfectant. 5,000 patients in a hospital built for 700, some sleeping on the floor. No power, no clean water, little fuel.

Vinegar as disinfectant and surgeries without anaesthesia is a whole other horror. It hurts trying to imagine what that's like, for the patients and the medical staff that are helping

This whole thing breaks my heart, but I've donated to doctors without borders. It's not much, but it's something.

If you're crazy crypto privacy nut: https://thegivingblock.com/donate/doctors-without-borders-u-s-a-inc/

They don't accept monero, but easy enough to use a exchange. Because it's a donation, there's 180 day transaction limit, so more than enough time for any exchange to just work

Thank you for sharing, I've been meaning to check which orgs would be good to donate to
