Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:10 UTCMeet Dr. Mads Gilbert, a Triage doctor from NORWAC who is in the hospital in Shifa, Gaza, and who has been reporting to the world the situation on the ground in Gaza regarding civilian casualties. This video is from Dec 31, but we now also have a text message he sent yesterday, Jan 3.
This kind of report is why Israel has barred the international media from Gaza, now even defying their own supreme court’s order to let 12 journalists in when last I checked. So this is even destroying Israeli institutions politically while destroying Palestinian institutions literally.From a comment on this Mosquito Blog posting (click here):

My dad works at the same hospital as Mads Gilbert. he got a txt message from Dr. Gilbert.
