"WHOEVER STAYS UNTIL THE END,

WILL TELL THE STORY.

WE DID WHAT WE COULD.

*REMEMBER US* 20/10/2023"

a story told in two pictures.

these are the words Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila wrote on Al Awda hospital whiteboard, normally used for planning surgeries, at the end of October 2023. That same whiteboard appears to be rendered unusable after an israeli airstrike hits said hospital, killing Dr Mahmoud and 2 other colleagues.

Medical staff in Gaza are so inundated by the sheer mass of patients arriving that the surgical board used to keep track of the weeks upcoming surgeries has been wiped clean and replaced with these words

"We did what we could. Remember us.”These are the words Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila wrote on a Gaza hospital whiteboard normally used for planning surgeries at the end of October 2023.

“Some might say that the credibility of international law and its capacity to protect people hangs in the balance.”

“Whoever stays until the end will tell the story. We did what we could. Remember us.” Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila wrote on a whiteboard in a hospital. Dr Mahmoud was later killed in an Israeli air strike. This was quoted in the court.

Powerful statements by the current South African rep in the halls of power in The Hague.

7:43am [EST]:

Today’s hearing has concluded.

Tomorrow 9am-12pm GMT, Israel will deliver its arguments.

A ruling on provisional measures against Israel is expected in the coming weeks.

To obtain measures ordering Israel to cease its acts, South Africa only needs to prove it has a “plausible” case for genocide, while Israel has to prove it’s not even plausible. This is why most experts believe we’ll succeed in the provisional orders.

Regardless, today was powerful, as we saw South Africa confront an apartheid regime. It forced the world to look not only at the genocide but at the Nakba, colonization, and apartheid.

This was a cathartic and validating experience that is welcome after months of vile and infuriating bias from governments and mainstream media.

Seeing judges take note of evidence they’re hearing for the first time but that we’ve constantly shared on our platforms… they’re finally listening.

Stay tuned for our post later today explaining more about the ICJ proceedings ✌️🇿🇦❤️🇵🇸

Doctors Without Borders issued a press release on November 21:

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is horrified by the killing of two of our doctors, Dr. Mahmoud Abu Nujaila and Dr. Ahmad Al Sahar, and another doctor, Dr. Ziad Al-Tatari, following a strike on Al Awda Hospital, which is one of the last remaining functional hospitals in northern Gaza.

A fourth person was killed as well. MSF was careful to word the statement as not to blame either Israel or Hamas - but the media was not so careful.

Time magazine blamed an "Israeli bombardment." Democracy Now called it an "Israeli airstrike." AP reported, "The director of al-Awda hospital, Ahmed Mahna, blamed the strike on Israel." 

The Cradle said, 

On 21 November, Israel killed two MSF doctors, Mahmoud Abu Nujaila and Ahmad Al-Sahar, in an airstrike on the Al-Awda Hospital. Other medical staff, including MSF staff, were also severely injured. MSF had shared the GPS coordinates of their staff with Israeli authorities the same day.  

Socialist and Arab sites all unanimously blamed Israel.

I found video footage of the damage to the hospital taken by Al Jazeera several days after the incident, The damage seen is certainly not consistent with the damage one sees from Israeli airstrikes.

Overwhelmingly moving closing statement of Irish lawyer Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh in ICJ case against Israel :

The international community continues to fail the Palestinian people, despite the overt dehumanising genocidal rhetoric by Israeli governmental and military officials, matched by the Israeli military’s actions on the ground; despite the horror of the genocide against the Palestinian population being livestreamed from Gaza to our mobile phones, computers and televisions screens — the first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time in the desperate — so far vain — hope that the world might do something. Gaza represents nothing short of a “moral failure”, as described by the usually circumspect International Committee of the Red Cross. As underscored by United Nations Chiefs, that failure has “repercussions not just for the people of Gaza . . . but for the generations to come who will never forget these 90 days of hell and of assaults on the most basic precepts of humanity”. As stated by a United Nations spokesperson in Gaza last week, at the site of a hospital clearly marked with the symbol of the Red Crescent, where five Palestinians — including a five-day old baby — had just been killed: “The world should be absolutely horrified. The world should be absolutely outraged . . . There is no safe space in Gaza and the world should be ashamed”.

Madam President, Members of the Court, in conclusion I share with you two photographs. The first is of a white board at a hospital — in Northern Gaza — one of the many Palestinian hospitals targeted, besieged, bombed by Israel over the course of the past three brutal months. The white board is wiped clean of no longer possible surgical cases, leaving only a hand-written message by a Médecins Sans Frontières doctor which reads: “We did what we could. Remember us”. The second is of the same whiteboard, after an Israeli strike on the hospital on 21 November 2023 that killed the author of the message, Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila, along with two of his colleagues. Just over a month later, in a powerful Christmas Day sermon, delivered from a church in Bethlehem — on the same day Israel had killed 250 Palestinians, including at least 86 people, many from the same family, massacred in a single strike on Maghazi Refugee Camp — Palestinian Pastor Munther Isaac addressed his congregation and the world. He said: “Gaza as we know it no longer exists. This is an annihilation. This is a genocide. We will rise. We will stand up again from the midst of destruction, as we have always done as Palestinians, although this is by far maybe the biggest blow we have received.” But he said: “No apologies will be accepted after the genocide . . . What has been done has been done. I want you to look at the mirror and ask, ‘where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide’.”

South Africa is here before this Court, in the Peace Palace. It has done what it could. It is doing what it can, by initiating these proceedings, by seeking interim measures against itself as well as against Israel. South Africa now respectfully and humbly calls on this honourable Court to do what is in its power to do, to indicate the provisional measures that are so urgently required to prevent further irreparable harm to the Palestinian people in Gaza, whose hopes — including for their very survival — are now vested in the Court.

"We did what we could. Remember us.”These are the words Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila wrote on a Gaza hospital whiteboard normally used for planning surgeries at the end of October 2023.

On November 21, following a strike on Al Awda Hospital where he worked, Dr. Mahmoud and two other colleagues were killed. Al Awda was one of the few remaining functional hospitals in northern Gaza. Medical facilities and staff should never be a target."

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is horrified by the killing of two MSF doctors, Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila and Dr Ahmad Al Sahar, and a third doctor, Dr Ziad Al-Tatari, following a strike earlier today on Al-Awda hospital, Gaza, Palestine. Our thoughts are with their families and all colleagues mourning their death. Al-Awda is one of the last remaining functional hospitals in northern Gaza. Dr Abu Nujaila and Dr Al Sahar were in the hospital when it was hit on the third and fourth floors. Other medical staff, including MSF staff, were also severely injured. MSF has regularly shared information about Al-Awda as a functioning hospital and the presence of our staff there to the warring parties. GPS coordinates were also shared with Israeli authorities yesterday.   We condemn this strike in the strongest terms, and call yet again for the respect and protection of medical facilities, staff and patients. At time of writing, more than 200 patients are still in Al-Awda hospital and are unable to receive the level of care they need. These patients must be urgently and safely evacuated to other hospitals that are still functioning. However, all hospitals in Gaza have been working beyond their capacity since October due to ongoing supply shortages, attacks on facilities and extremely high numbers of patients. This latest strike is yet another incident that MSF staff have been subjected to in the last few days. Our colleagues, who are assisting hundreds of patients in Gaza, are facing an extremely difficult situation in providing the little medical care they can. Seeing doctors killed next to hospital beds is beyond tragic, and this must stop now. Attacks on medical facilities are a serious violation of International Humanitarian Law, and these have become systematic in recent weeks. We reiterate our call for an immediate ceasefire to prevent more deaths in Gaza – now more than ever. We also urge for the lifting of the siege, and the protection of medical facilities and medical staff.   MSF has been working in Al-Awda hospital since 2018, providing reconstructive surgery for adults and trauma surgery for children. We pay tribute to the courage of our colleagues who continue to work there in the face of horrific violence. We mourn the loss of Dr Abu Nujaila and Dr Al Sahar; we will always remember them.
