As a result, an intensive care doctor may have no way to get to the hospital. Can you imagine the intensive care clinic of a pediatric hospital without a doctor?

Because doctors have no way to travel to treat people.

The effect is brutal and can only be resisted by a country like ours, which is an organized country, with clear goals, a country where solidarity is institutionalized. The distribution of resources, of the few resources we have, is organized, and solidarity is used to solve problems.

For example, there are private drivers of electric motorcycles who transport doctors for free, on their own initiative. Bus solutions are also being sought to transport doctors who are irreplaceable, who have to be there.

Israeli soldiers killed a seven-month-old Palestinian baby in the occupied West Bank after opening fire on his family’s car, despite the vehicle stopping when ordered.

Sam’s father, Fahd Abu Haikal, a lecturer at Bethlehem University, told Haaretz that a soldier had signalled for him to stop and that he complied.

“The soldier signalled me to stop. I brought the car to a complete halt and raised my hands on the steering wheel. Immediately afterwards, they opened fire on the vehicle,” he told Haaretz.

“The soldier was about 10 metres away from me. He saw me, he saw my wife and the children,” he told Haaretz. “The windows were not tinted, it was broad daylight and everything was clear. You can’t say he didn’t see that it was a family."

Y te puede pasar que un médico intensivista no tenga cómo llegar a la guardia. En un hospital pediátrico, imagínate que la consulta de terapia intensiva no tenga médico.

Porque los médicos no puedan llegar por un problema de terapia.

El efecto es brutal y lo puede resistir solo un país como el nuestro, que es un país organizado, claro, y un país donde la solidaridad está institucionalizada y se generan fórmulas en la que se aplica la organización de los recursos, de los poquitos recursos y a su vez se organiza la solidaridad en torno a la solución del problema.

Por ejemplo, hay choferes privados de motos eléctricas que a los médicos los transportan gratis, una iniciativa de ellos, pasa eso.

At least six people have been killed in a Gaza City tent camp where a wedding was taking place, according to local medical sources.

Women and children are believed to be among the casualties, Mahmoud said, adding that the casualty toll is expected to rise.

“According to relatives at the wedding, the tent was packed,” Mahmoud said. “Within a few minutes, it turned from a happy occasion to something really sad and bloody.

The attack came amid continued Israeli violations of the so-called “ceasefire” agreement that took effect on October 10.

Major media outlets have largely told the story of Cuba's medical missions through the voices of U.S. officials, politicians and U.S. government-funded "experts" who portray Cuban doctors as victims of "forced labor." Rarely do audiences get to see the missions themselves — or hear directly from the doctors still serving in them.

In our latest documentary, From Cuba to Calabria, we follow Cuban doctors as they travel from the island to work in public hospitals in one of Italy’s poorest regions. The film offers a rare inside look at a Cuban medical mission, letting the doctors speak for themselves about why they volunteer to leave their families and travel thousands of miles to care for patients in another country.

Majorities in most of the three dozen countries we’ve surveyed this year express an unfavorable view of Israel and little or no confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

These findings come from a Pew Research Center survey conducted Feb. 8-May 13, 2026. Most interviews took place after the United States and Israel launched a military campaign in Iran on Feb. 28.

Green Party leader Zack Polanski and Your Party leader Jeremy Corbyn have joined calls for the British government to investigate British citizens who have served in the Israeli military.

Polanski signed an open letter organised by Declassified UK and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper urging them to "track the movements of Brits who have served in the IDF" and "subject them to secondary screening where necessary at ports of entry".

The letter called for "robust war crimes investigations in line with domestic and international law".

The forced expulsion of Ain Arab—where Israeli soldiers went door to door, forcing residents from their homes at gunpoint—was a striking example of the Israeli military’s campaign to ethnically cleanse villages across southern Lebanon. Human rights advocates and locals told Drop Site they hadn’t heard of a similar incident occurring in this latest phase of the war—the Israeli military typically bombs and shells areas to forcibly displace residents. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced in Lebanon since March 2, and many have no idea if or when they will be able to return to their homes.
