Horror After Horror Laid Bare: Remember Us

Oxfam estimates Israel kills 250 Palestinians a day, including 48 mothers and 118 children, many blown to pieces; Gaza's 90,000-plus dead, wounded, missing make it the deadliest conflict of the century. In wrenching, closing arguments at the Hague, Irish lawyer Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh offered more grievous facts: "Entire multigenerational families obliterated," "huge swaths of Gaza wiped from the map," the daily death of at least 3 medics, 2 teachers, one journalist and UN worker and, every other day, a first responder who's spent months digging dead or wounded from the rubble with bare hands. Each day, 10 children will have one or both legs amputated, often without anaesthetic; more will earn the acronym WCNSF - Wounded Child, No Surviving Family. She ended her speech with two photos of a Gazan hospital whiteboard that health workers, inundated by casualties early in the war, had wiped clean of previously scheduled surgeries. The first image shows a messag written by MSF Dr. Mahmoud Abu Nujaila: "We did what we could. Remember Us"; the second shows the board shattered in an Israeli strike that killed Abu Nujaila and two other doctors.
