Israeli soldiers have entered Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, burned it down, and detained many medical staff, including the director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia.
The patients have no other hospital to go to as all other hospitals in the north have been destroyed by Israel, leaving them trapped in northern Gaza with no access to essential services.
Since October, tens of thousands of people in northern Gaza have been under a siege imposed by Israel, leading to severe humanitarian crisis.
Israel’s war on Gaza since October 2023 has resulted in the death of 45,399 people and injuries to over 107,000, with a majority being civilians.
Many children have been maimed or orphaned in the bombings, with hospitals and schools being targeted by Israeli forces.
The internal opposition in Israel is mainly focused on the release of around 100 captives taken in a Hamas-led operation in October 2023.
There is minimal awareness among Israelis about the extent of their country’s actions in Gaza, partly due to a compliant media controlled by the government.
At war with reality
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has taken steps to control the media, shutting down broadcasters and restricting the operation of news outlets critical of his government’s actions.
Israel has also targeted journalists and media workers, leading to a significant impediment to freedom of the press in the country.
Framing genocide
The Israeli media’s coverage of events often aligns with the government’s narrative, downplaying or omitting critical details.

There is a deliberate effort to control the information reaching the Israeli public, shaping their perception of events in Gaza.
Isolation in an echo chamber
Many Israelis remain unaware of the realities in Gaza, choosing to ignore information readily available in various sources.
There is a growing sense of paranoia in Israeli society, shaped by a distorted narrative fed by the media, leading to a severe lack of empathy towards the situation in Gaza.
