The state of Gaza’s hospitals: Surgeries without anesthesia and with only mobile phones for light. Vinegar from the corner store as disinfectant. 5,000 patients in a hospital built for 700, some sleeping on the floor. No power, no clean water, little fuel.

    Ofc. Just weird to say “multiple” when it’s thousands over decades.

      @Serdan I get you now. “Being killed” is the present tense (specifically, the present continuous). I’m talking about the current round of hostilities.

      I use “multiple” because since it’s still unfolding we don’t yet have an estimate for how many are being killed.

        Oh, we have estimates. Don’t look them up, unless you want to ruin your day.

          @Serdan ugh, I can imagine. This whole thing is so horrible. I hate how human rights abuses unfold and there’s nothing I can do except raise awareness, pester my representatives (in my small, non-influential country) and donate to MSF.
