"Critics, meanwhile, told lawmakers that Senate Bill 31 doesn’t go far enough to protect women facing pregnancy-related medical emergencies and even quietly resurrects 160-year-old laws that could be used to criminalize those who have undergone an abortion or have helped those who receive an out-of-state abortion."

US forces destroy cancer hospital in north Yemen

US forces have bombed Al-Rasool Al-Azam Oncology Hospital for the second time in a week, leading to its destruction.

The cancer hospital was newly built, at a cost of 805,165,000 Saudi riyals ($3.3m), and was in the final stages of preparation to be a treatment reference for hundreds of cancer patients in Saada and neighbouring provinces.

With #Gaza being under fire by #Israel again, #hospitals are experiencing horrors.

CW: the linked article contains details about wounded children, and about insufficient means to treat them.

»“They had been sleeping so were coming in wearing pyjamas, wrapped in blankets. Often it was neighbours bringing them because the #parents had been killed. It was horrific. We had to stop resuscitating several #kids simply to focus on one who had a chance,” said Haj-Hassan.

Feroze Sidhwa , a 43-year-old trauma surgeon from California, in Khan Younis as a volunteer with the medical charity #MedGlobal, described telling the father of one four-year-old #girl that his daughter was not going to live more than a few more minutes. “I had a look … She had very serious head injuries … I told her dad to take her outside and be with her and pray with her and he did,” Sidhwa told the Guardian.«

“The first Geneva Convention was signed in 1864, and that was the first creation of international law, at least in the West, and it’s specifically about not obstructing the work of physicians and nurses.”

“This is barbarity. This isn’t how reasonable civilised people behave. It doesn’t matter what they were trying to do. You don’t bomb a hospital no matter what, that’s not how it works.”

Sidhwa, a volunteer surgeon at Nasser Hospital

Satellite imagery in May 2024 appeared to show the Israeli military using the hospital as a military base.

Footage posted online showed the Israeli military carrying out a demolition of the hospital on Friday. Israel later confirmed it destroyed the cancer hospital claiming it was used by Hamas – without providing any evidence.

It was the only hospital in Gaza accredited to treat cancer patients and had the capacity to treat 30,000 people a year.

The third floor of the hospital was hit by an Israeli air strike on October 30, 2023.
Fuel shortages forced the hospital to shut down on November 1, 2023, with the UN warning the lives of 70 patients were at risk. It later emerged four patients died due to lack of medical care.

Key Gaza cancer hospital demolished

The Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital and medical school was built and equipped by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA), a government agency similar to USAID.

Construction on the hospital began in 2011 and was completed in 2017, at a cost of $70m.

The hospital was considered the largest medical facility in Gaza, with total interior space of 33,400 square metres (359,514 square feet ).

Israel blew-up Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, which was built by Turkiye and operated by local authorities as a cancer treatment facility.

The hospital, located in the Netzarim Corridor close to Salah al-Din Street, was being used as a command centre by Israeli forces during their previous military assault in central and northern Gaza.

Earlier today it was blown up completely after having been rebuilt with a Turkish donation of $34m in 2017.

Israeli forces’ actions while occupying Palestinian hospitals in Gaza amount to war crimes, Human Rights Watch has found.

In a new report published today, HRW concluded that the Israeli military caused deaths and unnecessary suffering among Palestinian patients, including by denying electricity, water, food, and medicines to patients, shooting civilians, mistreating health workers and deliberately destroying medical facilities and equipment.
