The genocide continues to escalate, and the violence of the apartheid state seems to expand week to week. Israeli occupation forces launched multiple air attacks, dropping bombs on and around the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Baha. The bombings have resulted in an ongoing massacre, as graphic images and pictures show Palestinians being burned alive. Many of the victims are patients at the hospital, and all are displaced Palestinians seeking safety. While the western elite remains silent in the face of these crimes, we will continue to mobilise in whatever way we can.
