Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Israeli Attacks on Gaza’s Beleaguered Hospitals Destroy Already Scarce Supplies

HeadlineMay 20, 2025

Israeli strikes on Gaza’s hospitals also continue. The World Health Organization on Monday condemned an attack on Nasser Hospital which destroyed one-third of a medical supplies warehouse. This is the hospital’s director, Dr. Atef Al-Hout.

Dr. Atef Al-Hout: “We now have nearly 30 patients in the intensive care unit, and I have seven patients who need intensive care in the emergency room that I can’t find space for. Until when will this silence continue? Until when will the Security Council stand idly by? Until when will the United Nations, the European Union and other institutions stand watching this situation?”
