Situation in Kamal Adwan Hospital ‘from bad to worse’

Dr Hussam Abu Safia, director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, says the situation under the siege is moving “from bad to worse”.

Many of the wounded in the hospital that has come under attack in recent weeks are dying because of a severe lack of medicine and supplies, Abu Safia said. The hospital is also lacking specialised medical workers.

“We don’t even have ambulances” to evacuate the bodies of slain Palestinians and others wounded in an Israeli attack a day earlier on a family home, Abu Safiya said.

Neighbours were able to evacuate 10 bodies and 35 wounded people from under the rubble. At least 50 others remain trapped.

“This is the daily situation here in northern Gaza. The Israeli siege is killing the Palestinian people here,” Abu Safiya said.

Northern Gaza has been under siege for more than a month. Food, medicine, and water “are not allowed” to enter northern Gaza, said the doctor.

“We urge the world and international human rights organisations to help the healthcare system in northern Gaza, and to allow as soon as possible the visiting medical teams to enter northern Gaza.”

Dutch government says Amsterdam riots anti-Semitic.

Amsterdam’s mayor called the clashes a pitch-black day for the city, saying that the pro-Jewish reputation of the city was being tarnished.

The clashes were the result of a buildup in tensions over a few days, with hundreds of Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters holding a very vocal rally in the main square before the incident, waving Israeli flags and taking down a Palestinian flag.

But the issue is sensitive here, because most of the Jews who were living here in the 1940s were deported to Nazi concentration camps.

Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema told Al Jazeera that the government was prepared for protests and tensions, but “what happened last night had nothing to do with protest or demonstration, it was crime.”

Halsema described the riots as anti-Semitic and the same rhetoric came from the Geert Wilders’s governing right-wing populist Party for Freedom, which also talked about the possible deportation of the people who were involved in the riots.

So the rhetoric is very much going towards anti-migration and anti-Islam, and while we have been hearing from the far right for many decades, this is now coming from the government.

‘Death to Arabs’ chants omitted in Israeli news coverage of Amsterdam riots.

Al Jazeera is reporting from Jordan because it has been banned from Israel and the occupied West Bank.

In the Israeli media there’s been extensive coverage of the incident, but what’s been omitted is what led up to the confrontations – the anti-Arab chants, “Death to Arabs”, the provocations and so on.

These kinds of chants are mostly normalised in Israeli sports, you hear them at football games all the time.

So that part of the story – the fact that there was such a strong anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian expression by the Israeli fans in Amsterdam, on the field and in the streets – was omitted from the news coverage because it’s so normalised.
