RT by @ColmBurkeTD: The large number of @UNRWA facilities hit and the number of civilians killed cannot just be “collateral damage”
This vicious war is reaching a point of no return when all rules are disrespected, in overt disregard for civilian lives.

RT by @ColmBurkeTD: .@WHO has led a second @UN and @PalestineRCS mission to Al-Shifa Hospital in #Gaza today, under extremely intense and high-risk security conditions.
31 very sick babies were evacuated, along with 6 health workers and 10 staff family members.
6 Palestine Red Crescent ambulances were used for the transfer. The babies were taken to Al-Helal Al-Emairati Maternity Hospital, where they are receiving urgent care in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Further missions are being planned to urgently transport remaining patients and health staff out of Al-Shifa Hospital, pending guarantees of safe passage by parties to the conflict.
We’re deeply moved and impressed by the extraordinary bravery and service of the health workers in Gaza, who continue to serve under the most dire and difficult circumstances.
We are grateful for the collaboration with Palestine Red Crescent, UN, and other partners.

@TamaraAlrifai tells @CNN of the constant horrors in #Gaza as another @UNRWA school in the north - sheltering thousands of people - was bombarded several times yesterday.
These attacks cannot become commonplace, they must stop.
