Welch's S.5388法案はUNRWAへの資金提供再開することを求める。UNRWAの活動は、パレスチナの70％のプライマリーケア、50％の教育を担うことなど、具体的な効果を伝えてほしい。

ガザのUSによる侵略を反対する法案と、UNRWAの補助金の復活、医療関係者の安全保障を求める議員への手紙。ここから送れます。

DUCKWORTHのダンマリはまじほんと不気味とさえ思ってた。ガザ虐殺が始まって数ヶ月、ラファへの攻撃が出るってあたりだったと思うが、彼女をイラク戦争の時に助けた軍医がガザの病院で包囲されたことがあった。医師は患者を見捨てて立ち退きはしないと宣言。避難を勧めるダックワォースにもそんなことよりも医療物資を送ることや医療機関や民間施設への攻撃を辞めさせるようイスラエルに言ってくれ、と主張していた。なんとあっぱれかつ当然の要求やと思ったけど、結局、避難させられた。彼女が登場したのはこれだけよ。ドクターが帰国してから面会しなかったのだろうか。ひどい惨状も聞かず見ざるでスルーしてきたのよね。

Dr. Abu-Alrish再び。こちらからはどんな支援ができるかという話で、NGOを通すよりも、直接ガザの病院や学校に送金するほうがいい、実際に仕事をするのは彼らだからと。NGOや支援への依存になることも理由として言ってたと思うのだけど、ちょっとよく聞き取れなかった。最近のUSAIDのこともあるし、なるほど、と思った。

Dr. Abu-Alrish from Gaza
Smell of blood. death, overwhelming number of the injured and sick, IOF started targeting hospitals, Doctors, nurses and medical workers are attacked, injured, killed and/or detained.

No water, poor sewage system, anyone can move was target, 15,000 displaced people at Al Shifa hospital - huge burden at the hospital workers, tight supplies and resources from generators, water, even now, parts to fix generators are not available.

Before the genocide, we wanted to double the number of the beds to meet the demands. We fail

First thing they did was to health information of the patients - we had buck up in the second hospital, but it was also attacked and they targeted the health info. We cannot track on the patients' history, cannot find names of the people killed...We couldn't communicate between the hospitals. Transportation between the hospital itself were targeted and extremely dangerous.

2500 people were the only survivors from the entire family - 2500 people have no other family alive.

When they attacked Al Sifa hospital, we couldn't move from one building to another. One engineer was shot by drone on the neck. We couldn't move him for treatment and he bled to die.

We decided to not to eat tiny little bit of foods and water remaining, so that we don't have to use the bathroom because there is no water.

14 yo boy - only survivor of his family, in extreme pain, he asked me to stay with him, but I had to go... he died alone a few days later.

I asked IOF military to stay inside of the hospital or stand in front of the gate to check or monitor violent people or whatever, I pledged to let us provide the humanitarian care at the hospital. They said no.

Then, we were ordered to move to Indonesian Hospital, but it was destroyed. I asked them to let us fix the Indonesian Hospital before they move in. They agreed and we fixed it, and then the next day, bulldozers came to demolish Indonesian Hospital.

Dr. Nidal (Facilitator) - reminder the difference between war and genocide.

War targets only the military forces. Genocide destroy all means of life. What Dr. Abu-Alrish is sharing the evidence of their intention of genocide.

Dr. Abu-Alrish continues -

Direct killing is decreased for now, but indirect killing still continues.
For example, the resources are not coming in - lack of care is killing people.

Lack of supplies - medical supplies, consumer supplies, repair parts

Safe water - we collect sample water to test and water is contaminated biologically - all kinds of the virus and bacteria are detected.
After their destruction, we don't have water treatment facilities

Polio vaccination - Public health broken, some phases were implemented, but northern Gaza had difficulties.

Broken infrastructure
- lack of generator

- No oxygen station, but one with a half capacity - ICU and NICU were not operational, we used to have 20 oxygen station, we are not allowed to have liquid oxygen

There are a few hospitals getting fixed and coming back operational, but we don't have enough oxygen, much of the facilities cannot be restored because of that.

Many medical machines(x-ray, CT scan, MRI) were destroyed, and they refuse to give us the replacement. They share no reasons.

We have been waiting for MRI in West Bank before the genocide.

Emergency Departments throughout Gaza are destroyed. Ambulance systems are gone - they don't allow gas/fuel or tires to come in to Gaza. They arrest emergency staff attack ambulance cars.

Al Sifa - only outpatient department is working.

Many are planning to leave...

They suggest to set up Field Hospitals with equipment and supplies from the regular hospitals and abandon our hospitals. They tried to abandon our health system by building less functional field hospitals.

Some NGOs were also complicit to Israeli's strategies.

Limb construction - 20,000 people... each person needs at least 3 surgeries in the next 2 years.

Displaced people living in tents without lockable door, new neighbors - sense of security lost

People were suffering from series of events - i.e. one doctor lost 75 of his family members.

There are so many challenges, obstacles...I don't know how we survived, but we are still here...

Dr. Jboor:
We are sorry. We failed you. We all knew it was coming.

Kate Rohana: Founding Director, Jerusalem Story.

Hearing the details and specialties are still heartbreaking and shocking... hearing from the ground gives renewed outlooks even for those who are following.

Jerusalem is the biggest urban concentration of Palestinians after Gaza.

Mid 16th century - end of WW1: Palestinian(Otterman Empire) ruled until England took over
1948 Nakba and then Israel

Old City - within old Jerusalem walls
New City - outside of the walls, beautiful neigborhood built by Palestinians, and included many surrounding villages.

Palestinians were taken by force, they are the citizens of the country and should have been given citizenship by any occupied force according to the international laws, but they were not given Israeli citizenship and made to be state-less and refuges. They changed the currency, so the money that Palestinians carried became value-less.

Jerusalem were divided and Palestinians were not allowed to move back. (1967?)

Series of Israel laws which rule Palestinian residents - they didn't give legal status. Palestinians are "Permanent Residents" - they can move freely, but have to carry IDs, they can vote only local elections, but not national elections. The status were not transphers to children or families. Each person has to "earn" it.

Israeli's policy : Jews MUST maintain majority demographically.

1991 Closure of Jerusalem
Palestinian West Bank needs permit

Jewish settlers, Jews can come in and out

1997 Oslo Accord
Palestinian Authority established - puppet regime

199? Center of Life
If you have permanent residency status and want to renew it, now you have to prove your center of life is in Jerusalem with all kinds of documentations going back 7 or some years.

The wall built to separate Eastern Jerusalem and Islaeli gov no longer serve them.

Today
40% of Jerusalem are Palestinians
60% Eastern Jerusalem are Palestinians
- both are huge under counted

Jerusalem has even more layered closures - to make the city less Palestinian

Palestinians build their homes without permit and Israeli officials demolish them.

Land Registration Law - Palestinian owned lands get registered under Israeli ownership and they cannot be undone.

UNRWA Closure - there is one refuge camp in Jerusalem and another right outside. They will have trouble.
