Via CNN “Intensive Care doctor explains difference between genocide and humanitarian crisis to media, who are trying to brand it as ‘Humanitarian Crisis’ for an entire year, as a mean to divert attention and justify it, on behalf of Israel: ‘Kate and All in all honesty, a humanitarian crisis is what you deal with when you have a hurricane, what you deal with when you have an earthquake. You have an an insult and a humanitarian response. This is my my career. This is what I do for a living. Every single person who does this for a living will tell you the same thing. This is different. This is not a humanitarian crisis, Kate, and I'm going to say it very clearly for your viewers to hear. This is genocide. When 70% of the population that are killed are women and children, when the population is starved of food, of water, of medicine, When you have attacks, repeated attacks on all the hospitals, the clinics, the aid distribution sites, the humanitarian aid agencies. That tried to help. More UN workers have been killed in Gaza than in UN history. When you have over 900 families that have been exterminated, that have been taken off of the civil registry, killed. When you have over 17,000 children that have lost one or both parents. When you have bakeries, aid distribution sites, churches, mosques, schools. And in the last three days, in the last 24 hours, in fact, a hospital today that was bombed, as you just reported, the hospital where I personally was working. And I can tell you they are working every second of every day to try and sustain life when Israel's strategy. And evidence on the ground suggests that they're doing the exact opposite. They were targeted today. There was a rehabilitation hospital, rehabilitation center that was targeted in the last 24 hours. And there was an orphanage that was targeted earlier this week. These are the types of places that are being targeted. And so it's really hard to hear it over and over and over again framed in the way
