Gaza’s Medical Apocalypse: Numbers, Neglect, and the Farce of “Access”

  If you ever needed proof that statistics can be more damning than bombs, look at Gaza’s health crisis . Behind the headlines and hashtags lies a cascade of bodies and broken systems. We have numbers, we have reports, we have PDFs— and yet the world stares, unmoved, at the collapse. Below is your ruthless, numbers-soaked guide to the suffering —and the institutional failure—behind Gaza’s medical implosion . 1. The Health System Is Already Dead. We’re Just Counting the Corpse. According to WHO, “The Gaza Strip faces an unprecedented humanitarian crisis with rising mortality and widespread displacement.” Between 1 January and 31 August 2024 , local health authorities reported 18,900 deaths and 38,916 injuries . Women, children, and the elderly account for over 50 % of fatal casualties . More than 53 % of Gaza’s 36 hospitals were non-functional as of August 2024, and many of the partially functioning ones lacked adequate water or relied entirely on fuel generators. ...

The Ceasefire of Exhaustion: When Empires Collapse from Within

  By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com Two years after Gaza was first set on fire , the war that began with biblical vengeance has stumbled to an exhausted ceasefire . On October 9, 2025 , Israel and Hamas — after endless carnage, famine, and rubble — have signed the first phase of a ceasefire agreement mediated in Sharm el-Sheikh . Trump called it a “ historic peace plan. ” History may call it a truce of attrition — a war that collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. What the Ceasefire Says — and What It Doesn’t Under the agreement, Israeli forces are to pull back to a designated “yellow line” within 24 hours of cabinet ratification. Hamas, in turn, will release all remaining hostages — alive or dead — within 72 hours after the withdrawal. Israel will free about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, though it made sure to exclude political figures like Marwan Barghouti , whose freedom would remind the world that Palestine still breathes. Humanitarian convoys — food,...

Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed.

  Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed “ I delivered a beheaded woman who was nine months pregnant. ” That’s not a horror-film script. That’s not medieval history. That is the testimony of an Australian medic standing in a Gaza hospital in 2025, describing what it means to “ practice medicine ” under Israeli bombardment. A nine-months-pregnant woman , decapitated , her body torn open so that the child she carried could be pulled out lifeless — and somehow this is still not enough to shake the comfortable democracies of the West into anything resembling a conscience. We should probably give the Nobel Prize for Creative Euphemism to the politicians who still call this “self-defense.” After all, there’s nothing quite as defensive as severing the head of an expectant mother and forcing foreign doctors to deliver her dead child in the rubble of what used to be a hospital . Bravo, civilization . The tragedy is not just the atrocity itself. It’s the smug perfo...

The Veil Gets Thicker: How “Democracy” Is Being Used to Suppress Solidarity.

  There’s a whisper among the ideals Europe claims to represent: freedom, human rights, assembly . But lately, those whispers are being drowned out —by batons, by laws, by arrests . Pro-Palestinian protestors are being met not with dialogue or understanding , but with the brute choreography of state power. Democracy is no longer just veiled . It is draped in shame. Recent Snapshots: When Solidarity Becomes a Crime These are not isolated incidents. These are signals. They tell us where the balance has shifted—and how. UK — The Ban, the Proscription, the Mass Arrests Palestine Action Proscribed Under Terrorism Act In July 2025 the UK government declared Palestine Action a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000 . From that moment, supporting the group—by words or peaceful symbolic action—became criminalized. 466 Arrested at Parliament Square On August 9, 2025 , some 466 people were arrested in London at Parliament Square for a protest against the Pales...

Britain’s Recognition of Palestine: A Century of Complicity in Disguise.

So we’ve reached this moment: Keir Starmer’s UK “ recognises the State of Palestine. ” Applause lines up. Speeches made. Headlines dazzled. But behind the pomp, the guns, the exports, the intelligence, the training — history rings out in mocking laughter. Because Britain has been complicit since day one. This recognition is not redemption . It’s theatre. 1. The Original Sin: Balfour Declaration Let’s go back. Because if you don’t know your history, you’ll be fooled by the future. On 2 November 1917 , Arthur James Balfour (Britain’s Foreign Secretary) wrote to Lord Rothschild, and officially declared: “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object , it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine , or the rights and political sta...
