By failing to condemn or even recognize Hamas’ cynical and systemic use of hospitals, schools and places of worship to shield their terrorist infrastructure and weapons, the @UNOCHA is giving terrorists worldwide a free pass to use health infrastructure to carry out terrorist acts and shield themselves from the consequences.
International law isn’t something one can pick and choose from. Article 19 makes it clear: the use of hospitals to harm the enemy deprives them of their protection. #notashield
Important ‼️
Even wars have rules that must be respected by all sides.
Protecting civilians and civilian objects - including hospitals, schools & places of worship - is NOT negotiable.
Humanitarians must also be able to safely deliver relief to civilians in need.

Hospitals should never be a target but they should also never be used as a shield.

The @PalestineRCS report of evacuation threats to Al-Quds hospital in Gaza is deeply concerning.
We reiterate - it’s impossible to evacuate hospitals full of patients without endangering their lives.
Under International Humanitarian Law, healthcare must always be protected.

Hospitals cannot be used by terrorists to hide their headquarters and weapons underneath them, and use patients and health professionals as human shields.
@ICRC, @ifrc @WHO are yet to comment on the findings that Shifa Hospital, and other hospitals in Gaza, are systemically being used by Hamas to shield their terrorist activities.
The International Community must condemn Hamas' use of Palestinians as human shields and the use of healthcare infrastructures to hide its terrorist arsenal.

Last week, the @UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that doesn't mention Hamas and the atrocities it committed against Israelis.
The UN CEDAW published a statement that does not mention the widespread use of rape as a weapon of war by Hamas terrorists.
The UN CERD published a statement on racial discrimination that does not mention the antisemitic, genocidal ideology of Hamas, nor the frightening spike of antisemitic incidents throughout the world.
UNICEF published a statement that does not mention Israeli children being held hostage by Hamas for the past three weeks.
How can anyone believe the United Nations cares about Israelis or Jewish lives around the globe?
78 years after the Holocaust, the international community, and the United Nations in particular, are failing the Jewish people once more.
The only difference now and then, is the existence of the State of Israel. Israel will protect its people in its fight against terrorism, and it will prevail. It will do so with or without the support of the UN and its blind institutional hatred.

Not a day passes in Geneva without people reminding @ICRC @UN of their duty to act for the release of the 229 hostages held in Gaza by Hamas terrorists. Today was no exception.
We won't rest until they come back home.

Not ONE word.
@AmyEPope said NOTHING about the horrors committed against Israelis by Hamas terrorists, including the slaughters, rapes, mutilations, beheadings, abductions and displacements.
Israeli children, women, men and elderly people, are real people too.
Contrary to Hamas, Israel does not target civilians. We target Hamas terrorists capabilities.

Hamas HQ is under the Shifa Hospital in Northern Gaza. The evidence is now there for everyone to see.
What else do the @WHO @ICRC and @UN need to see to clearly condemn the despicable use of the Palestinian population as human shields by Hamas terrorists?
Breaking: The @IDF has released visual and audio materials which prove Hamas has stolen and is using humanitarian resources for its terrorist activities.
Let’s start with the Shifa Hospital, one of Gaza’s biggest medical centers, which is being used as a terror operations base by Hamas terrorists.
Listen to a phone call between two Gazans, confirming Hamas headquarters are located in the Shifa hospital.

What does @UNHumanRights do to prevent Hamas from diverting fuel, food, and medicine?
What does @UNHumanRights do to prevent Hamas from indiscriminately firing rockets from UN buildings, mosques, and civilian infrastructures, while using Palestinians as human shields?
The response is simple: nothing - it stays silent, as it has for decades!
Israel is at war with Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organization. This is not a war with the Palestinians.
This is not collective punishment.
Israel does its utmost to protect civilians and mitigate harm to them, including providing advance notice to civilians regarding safer zones, while Hamas deliberately puts them in harm's way.
IHL remains IDF's guide book, depiste Hamas brutality, and the shield the UN provides them with.

They must be released. Now.
Thank you, @usmissiongeneva
Today in front of @UNGeneva, a somber reminder of the over 200 innocent civilians held hostage by Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza.
Acting DCM Melanie Zimmerman: “We must all stand together to insist on their immediate, unconditional release.”

In the voice of the PA’s representative to the UN in Geneva:
❌“Hamas is not a terrorist organisation”
❌“Hamas is part of Palestinian society”
❌“Hamas did not behead babies”
Despicable. For years, he has been Hamas' shield at the UN. He now is their spokesperson.

When entire communities are wiped out, and women and children are abducted by terrorist organisations, civilians pay the price.

Last year, the Dream Doctors spoke in Geneva about their vital work for Ukrainian refugees affected by the war.
Never did we believe they would have to work with thousands of Israelis for the same reason.

"@WHO calls for the immediate release of all the hostages, along with urgent access to each of them and delivery of medical care".
An important and clear call by @DrTedros to bring our mothers, fathers , sons and daughters home. #bringthemhome
My team and I met today with families of people abducted from southern #Israel on 7 October by Hamas and heard firsthand the tragedy, trauma and suffering they are facing.
We are gravely concerned by the humanitarian and health situation facing approximately 200 people, including health workers and up to 30 children.
@WHO calls for the immediate release of all the hostages, along with urgent access to each of them and delivery of medical care.
There is an urgent need for the captors of the hostages to provide signs of life, proof of provision of health care and the immediate release, on humanitarian and health grounds, of all those abducted.
Many of the hostages, including children, women and the elderly, have pre-existing health conditions requiring urgent and sustained care and treatment.
The mental health trauma that the abducted, and the families, are facing is acute and psychosocial support is of great importance.
WHO stands ready to provide the @ICRC, which is mandated to provide support to hostages in conflict situations, with any health support for the hostages.
I thank the families for sharing their heartbreaking stories.
I committed, on behalf of WHO, to do all we can to support the health and humanitarian needs of those being held captive.
All civilians who are suffering in this conflict must be protected.

Fantastic mobilisation from people in Geneva to make sure the world knows about the 220+ hostages held by Hamas terrorists.

“Know that this enemy of yours is a disease that has no cure, other than beheading and extracting the hearts and livers!"
This note was found on a Hamas terrorist from the October 7 massacre. It was handed to him by Hamas commanders in Gaza as encouragement to behead their victims and tear out their hearts and livers.
Hamas is very clear about its intentions.

"Amit wrote to us that they were trying to break into the house, and since then, his traces have disappeared."
Amit, a high school student, was kidnapped to Gaza by Hamas terrorists. His family has not received any information about his fate for 18 days.

500'000+ litres of fuel are already in Gaza.
Hamas uses fuel to launch rockets on Israel.
Hamas uses fuel to light its underground terror tunnels.
Hamas uses fuel to produce weapons.
Hamas does not care about the people of Gaza. It never did.
