The heavy machinery unit of Givati Brigade did a compilation of homes they've destroyed in Jabalia, and added a joyous music in the background, that's supposed to make it funny or something. Genocide is a game to them.

"Children are being denied medical care that is a basic human right. And those who barely survive the ruthless bombardments are then condemned to die from their injuries. It is a problem that is being completely disregarded." - @1james_elder of @UNICEF on #Gaza

Last night, the Israeli Security Forces (ISF) shot in the chest and killed an 11-year-old Palestinian boy throwing stones at armoured vehicles in #Nablus despite posing no realistic threat. On 20 Oct, in #Hebron, ISF shot in the head a 17-year-old boy, now in critical condition. Another 11-year-old boy was critically injured after ISF shot him in the head on 17 Oct in Al-Arroub camp. In the past year alone, ISF killed 165 Palestinian children in the West Bank, incl. EJ, 36 in airstrikes and 129 shot with live ammunition, most in the head or upper body.

The NYT just published a piece on how Israeli army routinely and systematically uses Palestinians as human shields in Gaza. Palestinians were officially referred to as insects โ€” โ€œwaspsโ€ or โ€œmosquitos.โ€ This is a war crime that has not been documented since Vietnam.

Video reconstruction of how Israeli troops killed a young Palestinian boy in Gaza for no reason, then killed six of his family members as they returned from a cemetery to bury him, holding a white flag. Their remains were bulldozed into a pile of garbage. trib.al/9wf8crj

Israeli sources are now confirming the horrific CNN and New York Times reports of the conditions in Sde Taiman. They include electric shocks, amputations due to bad conditions, severe beatings, , surgery without anesthesia, playing loud music until inmates ears bleed, deaths due to bad sanitary conditions, systematic torture and sexual abuse. Sources in the Israeli justice department are saying the evidence is so clear and the cases so severe, it will be an open and shut case for international courts. This is a horror that will never be forgotten. A permanent stain on the state of Israel.

Wondering why General Practice is so busy? Patient referred to a specialist for a problem that is not โ€œfixableโ€ in the community. Was referred 4 weeks ago and has been told no appointments until November. They have already been back to see a GP 4 times with exacerbations of the same issue. Waiting lists are drowning GPs in extra work. #NHS

๐Ÿ“ขNew @jrf_uk report Primary schools and GP surgeries are staggering under the weight of hardship, as they divert resources to try deal with the consequences of people going without essentials. Fixing our public services requires a plan for hardship. 1/7

In GP surgeries hardship adds to demand for appointments. Patient health worsens with hunger & cold, or when they canโ€™t afford travel to a hospital appointment. Patients seeking prescriptions for over-the-counter items they canโ€™t afford, like Calpol, adds more demand. 3/7

With regret I have decided to resign as chair of NHS Devon. Thank you to all the wonderful NHS, care and voluntary sector teams that are out there doing their very best in challenging circumstances. Did not feel able to sign off on a further cut; elastic already stretched too far

#GeneralPractice is really busy. My amazing team is working harder than ever. The vast majority of the work that we do is not being counted by the GP Appointments Data (GPAD) Dashboard. This thread explains more about what we do & why we do it 1/X

Let's bin the NHS! Why? Well we are just giving money out and there is no end to it. And so much inefficiency. OK what shall we replace it with? A social insurance model!
