    Imagine this kid growing up knowing that this is the story of her life. A victim of Israel since she was in the fucking womb. This is how you create hate for generations to come.

    Wow. This child. The world will want to know her story. Lots of hope for this little one. How will this shape her life’s view and trajectory? Its imperative to get her out of there asap. What a beginning.

    Can you even imagine the stress of that?

    Not just being a doctor having people’s lives depend on your competence. But also in an active genocide, where you’re probably starving and you could be blown up by a bomb at any minute or have the idf burst through the doors and shoot you.

    It’s literally the most stressful job operating under the most stressful possible conditions.

    Each one of these people should, no matter the result of this “conflict” be commemorated as heros, not just in Palestine but internationally.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Doctors in Gaza have saved a baby from the womb of her mother as she lay dying from head injuries sustained in an in Israeli airstrike.

    “We managed to save the baby,” Ahmad Fawzi al-Muqayyad, a doctor at the Kuwaiti hospital in Rafah, told Sky News.

    On Sunday the baby lay wriggling and crying in an incubator in the neonatal unit of the nearby Emirati hospital.

    The baby would stay in hospital for three to four weeks, Dr Mohammad Salama, the head of the unit, told news agencies on Sunday.

    At least two-thirds of the more than 34,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza since this war began have been children and women, according to the territory’s health ministry.

    Netanyahu has said a date for a Rafah ground invasion has been set, but is yet to publicly present a plan to protect the people sheltering there.
