18. Pure sadistic barbarism.
Wed Nov 20, 2024, 10:41 AM
Yesterday

How can human beings bear this? Not just the victims, God help them, but people watching, either helpless and in despair or shrugging it off and making excuses - victim-blaming even. Do they not see this is planned, deliberate, willful? Going on for over a year, now in hyper-drive.

17 children admitted to hospital in a few short days suffering from malnutrition. How many don't even make it to the ruins of hospitals, where there is little help anyway. An elderly man dying from dehydration for God's sake! Hospitals destroyed, no or little medical aid allowed in.

Pure sadistic barbarism. And it's just allowed to go on because people STILL make excuses and don't speak UP!
