Israel-Gaza live news: Firing outside Gaza hospitals, with patients and staff trapped inside - BBC News

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has now weighed in on the hospital situation in northern Gaza.

In a statement, it warned that hospitals in the Palestinian enclave have "reached a point of no return", risking the lives of thousands of people.

The ICRC said its staff attempting to deliver medical supplies had witnessed "horrendous" scenes, and described the destruction as "unbearable".

It also highlighted attacks on children's hospitals, including Al-Rantisi, which we've been reporting on today, saying they had "not been spared from violence."

The humanitarian organisation, which is the guardian of the Geneva Conventions, repeated its demand that hospitals and healthcare workers, under international law, must be protected.

Sorry, but everybody is a member of a group. Since that is your definition is used that for the rest of your criteria, this doesn't make much sense.

It’s not my definition, the the UN’s definition— and it makes sense when you don’t ignore the facts, such as the deaths of innocent women and children, which, btw, also make it a war crime.

The UN can't even say that the Hamas massacre was wrong. China and Russia voted no, but, go ahead and use them if it suits your purpose. It would never make it through criminal court and you dilute a very important word.

Only if you ignore what the UN is saying while continuing to ignore the facts, such as all the dead women and children.

More of the UN’s declarations of war crimes committed

First of all, I gave you facts. Secondly,, i have a long list of nightmares and if you want to invoke my sympathy you best do better than repeat "women and children" ad nausium.

You ignored facts, and I’m not here to appeal to your sympathy. And if you don’t like being reminded of the women and children who’ve been killed, too bad.

So you dont have much and you'll continue to spout BS. Don't need to spend time with you. See ya.

I’ve backed up my claims with evidence— again, which you continue to ignore. Just like the dead women and children.

And you’ve already spent more than a day arguing in circles about it.
