We held a virtual encounter with Al-Farra and his patients this past Monday via a video call. In the past few weeks, we’ve sought to document what starvation looks like in Gaza, to witness the gravity of the situation with our own eyes. Israel doesn’t allow journalists into the Strip, but via video we’ve been able to conduct real-time, online tours of hospitals and clinics.

For this article we conducted four such tours, in different places, and conducted separate conversations with another 12 doctors, 10 of them volunteers from the United States and Britain, who are currently in the Gaza Strip or were there recently. What we saw there left no room for doubt about the scale of the horror.

    I think I was pretty clear that I don’t support Israel.
    But your minimizing the atrocities of Hamas doesn’t help the situation. Israel has gone off the deep end, just like the U.S. is going. But to not recognize Hamas’ desire to wipe out the Jews in Israel shows a very poor understanding of the situation.

      It’s pretty clear that you are. You think you are smart by trying to sound neutral.

      I repeat Hamas can’t destroy Israel even if it want. Hamas said they would drop arms once the occupation end. If Hamas is lying and refuse to do so when Israel end occupation, an Palestinian army would be in charge to destroy them. Since Palestinians would be free , most of them would stop supporting it so Hamas can’t survive

      I never minimized Hamas atrocities during the 7 of October but you are minimizing what Israel is doing

          You should ashamed of yourself for justifying occupation and genocide. Everybody is Hamas for Israel. Israel president already said there is no innocent Palestinians. Netanyahu compared them to Amalek.

          Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.

          Israel been doing all what Hamas done for 77 goddamn years so why don’t you condemn Israel as much as hamas
