39. That was a loaded and a deflective rhetorical question. I didn't have to, but I answered it to make you aware

that the nature of your questioning is duly noted. Just because the question was rhetorical doesn't make it immune from challenge on other grounds.

It cited initial reports that some departments of the Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia “were burnt and severely damaged during the raid
, etc.

Not direct observations, not verified accounts, not even the identity of sources that supplied the "initial reports". Just unsubstantiated rumors. But you knew that. Yet, this doesn't stop you from repeating and amplifying the rumors.

Before launching the operation, "IDF said it enabled the evacuation of 350 patients, caregivers, and medical personnel to other hospitals". In addition"...the patients, caregivers, and medical personnel were taken to the nearby Indonesian Hospital, where the IDF delivered fuel, generators, and other medical equipment from Kamal Adwan." IN ALL, "95 patients, caregivers, and medical personnel were evacuated from Kamal Adwan." (https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-19-terrorists-no-known-civilians-killed-in-gaza-hospital-raid-hamas-said-50-dead/0). As per WHO, "On Friday evening, the remaining 15 critical patients, 50 caregivers and 20 health workers were transferred to Indonesian hospital"

If you compare these numbers, by the time the 15 critical patients arrived to the Indonesian Hospital, the hospital had 20 health workers and 50 care givers for 25 patients. That's at least four health workers and ten caregivers for every five patients, in addition to the fuel, generators and other medical equipment delivered by IDF.

I wish I had this much attention in any of the best US hospital. Good enough indeed! And how can you call such well staffed and equipped hospital "non-functional" with a straight face?

And wouldn't the fact of the transfer of all the aforementioned patients, personnel and supplies to Indonesia Hospital in itself make the hospital functional?

What contradictions are you talking about? And what in particular in this timeline do you find mutually exclusive?

I don't want to brag, but as a statement of facts, it appears I DO know better.
