Israel has told civilians to leave and medics to send patients elsewhere. It says it has attempted to evacuate babies from the neonatal ward and left 300 litres of fuel to power emergency generators at the hospital entrance, but that the offers were blocked by Hamas.
Qidra denied rejecting the offers of fuel but said the 300 litres would power the hospital for only half an hour. Shifa needed 8,000-10,000 litres of fuel a day, which must be delivered by the Red Cross or an international aid agency, he said.

No doubt you have a formula to compute how many calories per day a person in Gaza needs.

One big LIE.
The proposed amount would have suffice for a day or so (https://time.com/6328314/gaza-doctors-h ... city-fuel/
"Dr. Ahmed Mhanna, manager of Al-Awda hospitals in northern Gaza, said Monday that the hospital only had enough fuel to run another three to four days. They have been relying on two generators that have been consuming more than 13 liters per hour, he says. “If there’s no fuel, it means the generator will stop. If the generator will stop, the hospital will stop. We will close,” he says."

P.S. Just for your reference, Cuch, last time I checked Palestinians don't get their calories from fuel (as opposed to Ireland).

300 litres sounds about right.

To help you, think of a 1L bottle, multiply by 300. Got the idea?

Well, I'll share a secret with you about that, they tried to ask first Irish officials about that, but none of them knew numbers or units or wasn't even sober to talk.

Wow, Cuch, did IDF bribe you to switch sides?

Half of Gaza population are children. According to the numbers above only 42% are children killed from the reported sample, which is outside of margin of error (why? Homework for cuch)
Your numbers indicate that the bombing is not completely random, which contradicts party line by Irish government.

Sorry leptoq I disagree - the issue of death children is obviously painful. It’s well known and documented that Hamas misuses children as  weapon for the purposes of waging war. Several soldiers who have just returned from the front reported encountering dozens of women and children positioning themselves to shield the Nazi terrorists. Morally, IDF soldiers will not fire at children, hence they order airstrike firing at a building in which the terrorists and their young human shields gather. After the building collapsed, rescue teams and dozens of civilians arrive at the scene. These civilians make sure to document rescue team pulls out a wounded or dead child out of the rubbles and the footages are then sent to Al-Jazeera to spread the lies. See pic:

However, according to the Law of War (component of Int. Law) in situations in which population voluntarily positioned itself to shield a military target turns the population into a weapon of war. Thus, the shield becomes reconceptualised as a weapon.
[See: Judith Butler a Maxine Elliot Professor of Comparative Literature and Critical Theory, University of California, Berkeley on London Review of International Law, Volume 3, Issue 2, September 2015]


Btw, Prof. J. Butler is know pro-Palestinian activist and vocal critic of Israel

francesca - is more appropriate nickname for porno-horror movie star. This "enlightened" c is known for ridiculous statements about Holocaust and Jewish Lobby. 
As always, thank you Mr. Cuch for sharing unbiased opinions. 

P.S. I have shared with McGregor your posts about him, he is ready if you are to settle it "mano a mano".

Amputating the Body, Fragmenting the Nation: Palestinian Amputees in Gaza

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9790951/

Indeed, to be able to accomplish these precise injuries, Israel needed a war machine, so it set out to turn its snipers from men and soldiers into machines, at least for the time they were on duty. To this end, snipers are trained, and given the illusion of almost complete security with their highly sophisticated equipment and protection, so they can confidently do their job. This loss of humanity is reflected in turning the protestor into a target, his body into parts that are a desirable hit: “I remember the view of the knee in the crosshairs, bursting open,” relief when learning it was a precise hit, one that they could add to their record.

U.S. Sends Israel 2,000-Pound Bunker Buster Bombs for Gaza War
 
https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/u ... r-82898638

After sending massive bombs, artillery shells, U.S. also urges Israel to limit civilian casualties
That goes without saying, of course.
