On November 2, 2023, Dr. Michael Ryan stated there was no information that Hamas used Shifa Hospital (and other Gaza hospitals) for terrorist activities, and that he was aware of what happened "above ground" in the hospital (with the implication that no military or terrorist activities took place within the hospital). On November 19, 2023, Israel released multiple surveillance videos from the hospital's internal closed-circuit cameras showing terrorists operating within the aboveground portion of the hospital, including bringing hostages into the hospital, and including multiple hospital staff (doctors and other healthcare personnel) seeing the hostages and even treating them surrounded by armed, non-uniformed Hamas terrorists. Multiple war crimes have been documented, including combatants without insignia or uniforms, combatants operating within a civilian hospital, combatant use of hospital grounds for military purposes (including the tunnels), and combatants fighting (firing weapons at enemy combatants) from within hospital grounds and buildings. Given WHO's frequent criticism of Israel, denial of war crimes by Hamas, failure to condemn the war crime of using a hospital for military purposes, and failure to retract prior statements dmeanding that Israel protect and not engage in military attacks against any portion of this or other hospitals, should this controversy be covered in this page?
