We won't, because that would be antisemitic.

Israel, the USA, and their allies are committing genocide.

If you’ve never seen a C-section before grateful that you’re not currently picturing what one looks like without painkillers.

They have like a curtain/sheet up so you don't have to see what's going on... well that curtain fell when my wife was going through it, she was in too much pain to even notice... but holy shit it was like most of her insides were outside and they were just packing that shit back in her. Good thing I have cleaned a deer before, but it still wasn't cool. I totally see why that sheet is necessary for most.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Pregnant women are having C-sections without anaesthetic while others are forced to use scraps of tents in place of period products, aid workers say.

With more than 1.9 million Gazans displaced since 7 October, a tent "city" of almost two square miles has been set up in Rafah, south of the strip.

No food or medical supplies are allowed to enter the territory, including sanitary towels, tampons and contraceptive pills that could stop or delay periods.

Using unclean materials as sanitary products can cause a risk of infection and potentially deadly toxic shock syndrome.

A woman called Adara, who was forced to flee her home with her four children, said they "suffer a lot whenever we want to go to the bathroom" and have to "stand in line for a long time".

With clean running water incredibly sparse in Gaza, people there are falling well short of the 15 litres needed per person per day.


The original article contains 405 words, the summary contains 155 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

That might be the most horrifying thing I’ve ever read. Jesus fucking Christ.
