On the 13th of October 2023, the Middle East’s “National News” reported that the jewish state had prepared the world’s largest underground hospital in a complex of safe tunnels dug beneath Palestine. The facility is equipped with the latest technology and can handle every possible medical emergency and surgical procedure. It has a 2000-bed capacity and is fully staffed with trained experts in every form of medical expertise.

Comment:
At the time of writing this, 2,670 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 10,000 injured, with 724 children currently registered as dead. Hospitals are being bombed, and medical staff attending to the injured after bombing raids and the complete collapse of buildings are being killed whilst doing their job. With the complete cut-off of electricity, fuel, and water supplies, the sick and needy Muslims do not have life support machines to function without disruption. Sanitisation and cleaning are no longer possible, and death from disease and dehydration is a real daily struggle. There are reports of mothers giving their children contaminated water to drink.

Those living in the areas of the North were ordered to evacuate to the South so the mass bombings could continue. However, these same routes were bombed in a trick by the enemies of Islam to murder more vulnerable Muslims. Most of the bodies in these escape passages were women and children. No hospitals were nearby to treat them, and the ambulances were attacked, with many surviving injured killed before they could get medical help.

This contradiction in how ‘Israeli’ and Palestinian citizens get medical care and emergency treatment results from one critical matter. The authority of the lands is not in the hands of the Khilafah (Caliphate), and the rights of who gets to live and die are with those that have hatred for the blood of the believers. The idea that Muslims would have done the same cannot be made truthfully, as the rules of war in Sharia do not permit the killing of innocent women and children fleeing the battlefield. Even the enemies of Islam can feel safe that their weak and needy will not be slaughtered like animals.

We are still to see the results of this ongoing horror, and already, it is clear that the attacks on Gaza are unprecedented in the history of the occupation. Without the shield of Islam in the form of the Amir (leader) organising the resources of the Ummah in the defence of life and honour, there is going to be an open opportunity for mass slaughter and destruction of the holy lands. We cannot accept the silence and abuse of power of the puppet leaders with their time-delaying fake diplomatic cowering! We must not accept that Gaza becomes the world’s largest graveyard whilst the Zionists have the best medical facilities. We will never forget our Ummah in Palestine, and our work to liberate them must come from re-establishing the Khilafah inshallah.
