Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Northern Gaza's Kamal Adwan hospital has issued a final plea for help after Israeli forces launched a fresh attack on it on Sunday, targeting its paediatric ward with artillery fire and seriously wounding a child who was recovering from surgery

Gaza's health ministry said the call for help could be the hospital's "last distress call", adding that “it seems that a decision has been made to execute all staff who refused to evacuate the hospital".

In a video message, the hospital's director, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, reported that the strikes “reached every corner of the hospital”, hitting its water supplies, courtyard and the electricity network.

Safiya added that the attack was conducted during a visit by a World Health Organisation (WHO) delegation, which was attempting to evacuate some of the patients.

According to the health ministry, many medical staff and patients have been wounded by the Israeli attacks.

Staff are unable to move between hospital departments and cannot rescue their wounded colleagues as Israeli forces continue to "bomb and destroy" the building, the ministry said.
