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.

I'm sure this is just Hamas propaganda propagated by [checks notes] Reuters.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


GAZA/JERUSALEM, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Palestinians trapped inside Gaza's biggest hospital were digging a mass grave on Tuesday to bury patients who died under Israeli encirclement, and said no plan was in place to evacuate babies despite Israel announcing an offer to send portable incubators.

Hamas, Gaza's ruling Islamist group, denies fighters are present and says 650 patients and 5,000-7,000 other displaced civilians are trapped inside the hospital grounds, under constant fire from snipers and drones.

Around two thirds of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been made homeless, unable to escape the crowded territory where food, fuel, fresh water and medical supplies are running out.

Dr Ahmed El Mokhallalati, a surgeon, told Reuters from Al Shifa hospital that the main risk now was from dead bodies decomposing inside.

On Monday, Israel's military released video and photos of what it said were weapons Hamas had stored in the basement of another hospital, Rantissi, specialising in cancer treatment for children.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Washington would "like to see considerably longer pauses - days, not hours - in the context of a hostage release."


The original article contains 968 words, the summary contains 187 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Denied the incubators? Wtf?

I doubt they'll see their babies again if they let israel take them. And they've already seen that the world will do nothing to help them

You have a point. Its just fucken heartbreaking. Those babies did nothing to deserve this.

Israel has been treating hundreds of not thousands of Palestinians who cannot receive proper treatment in Gaza for years. It's nothing new.

It has done the same in Lebanon in the past.

It's not a demonic state. It's just currently ruled by a bunch of right winged religious idiots and fanatics

Edit: this has been going on for years, nothing to do with the past month
