The Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital was damaged again yesterday in an attack, including lifesaving equipment, according to reports. Another children’s hospital in the north has stopped operating due to damage and a lack of fuel, and a specialist maternity hospital is in desperate need of fuel to keep functioning.

More than 1.5 million displaced people, including 700,000 children, are now struggling to access safe water and are living in dreadful sanitation conditions. The risk of waterborne and other diseases is rising by the day and particularly threatens children.

Hey, guess which group of people are at a critical developmental stage and currently witnessing the extreme indiscriminate killing of their entire families.

Doesn't matter if it's cause Hamas is using them as shield. It doesn't matter if Israelíes as a whole (or at least a whole lot of them) stand against their government and this action. It doesn't matter because they and their families are still being exterminated in front of their eyes.

This is creating millions of pissed off people that will hold a grudge their entire life.

The majority of the Gaza Strip is under 18, which is definitely a normal situation for people not already being genocided to be in.

18 is the median age meaning 50% are 18 and under.

Nations breed terrorists.

Over the past ten years I feel like I've realized humanity really is bullshit and hell is on earth.

I guess I was too busy with consumerism and typical life distraction to realize before.
