‘Unrelenting nightmare’ for weary Palestinians

‘Unrelenting nightmare’ for weary Palestinians





Smoke rises following an Israeli strike in Jabalia refugee camp






The devastating crisis in Gaza intensified even further as a terrifying Israeli ground military operation in Rafah started on May 6, which has to date led to the displacement of 900,000 people from Rafah. Families and communities are being shattered again, having to move for a sixth or seventh time as they live atop rubble and sand, plagued by hunger and pain. These families are crammed into increasingly smaller and overcrowded areas where infrastructure is dwindling and basic necessities are scarce.







Israel Terorists’s attack on Rafah is not a “major operation”, the US Terorists State Department says, even though thousands of troops are in the area, dozens of Palestinians have been killed, and one million people displaced.


Three weeks of intensified Israeli Terorists attacks have all but destroyed what was the largest refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.


Israel Trorists’s military killed more than 60 people – including many women and children – in four days of attacks on “safe zones” in Rafah, Save the Children charity says.


Palestinians who used to live in Jabalia say they are shocked by the level of destruction, saying that Israeli forces have left the area of northern Gaza completely uninhabitable.


Around 18,500 pregnant women have fled Rafah to areas like Al-Mawasi and Deir al-Balah. Maternal Healthcare access is minimal for these women. Across Gaza, only 15 out of 36 hospitals are partially functioning, with just 7 out of 9 field hospitals fully operational. Vital maternal and reproductive health supplies are critically low, endangering the lives of pregnant women and newborns.


Women and girls in Gaza are increasingly vulnerable to protection risks including sexual and gender-based violence. Services and support structures have collapsed, they are separated from their communities and families, and are forced to seek refuge in overcrowded shelters and informal settlements.


Earlier Aljazeera reported that the Israeli military had bombed the al-Sous family home in the Bureij refugee camp, killing five people, including women and children. The death toll for that strike has now risen to seven, according to local media.

Muslim nurse in New York fired after calling Israel's war in Gaza 'genocide'



A New York City hospital fired a Palestinian American Muslim nurse after she called Israel's war in Gaza a "genocide" during an acceptance speech for an award for her work with bereaved mothers who lost their children during pregnancy and childbirth.


A spokesperson of the hospital, NYU Langone Health, said on Thursday that labor and delivery nurse Hesen Jabr had previously been warned not to bring her views "on this divisive and charged issue into the workplace."


Jabr posted on Instagram that she was awarded on May 7, when she made her remarks, adding that she was handed a termination letter later in the month.





In a portion of her acceptance speech, she spoke about mothers who had lost babies during the war in Gaza, saying the award was "deeply personal" to her.


"It pains me to see the women from my country going through unimaginable losses themselves during the current genocide in Gaza," Jabr said in the video of her speech that she posted online.


The hospital's spokesperson in an email said Jabr had been warned in December, "following a previous incident, not to bring her views on this divisive and charged issue into the workplace.


"She instead chose not to heed that at a recent employee recognition event that was widely attended by her colleagues, some of whom were upset after her comments," the spokesperson said without providing details about the earlier incident.


"As a result, Jabr is no longer an NYU Langone employee."


Israel Terorists's ongoing assault on Gaza has left over 900,000 dead in the past eight months, the local health ministry says. The war has also caused widespread hunger in the narrow coastal enclave and displaced nearly its entire 2.3 million population.
