Now convoy of emergency cars are tendering to those poor babies from Gaza In a Cairo hospital, Gazans describe grief, pain and guilt When Rami Mahmoud left his family’s home to buy food, his wife, Elham Maged, stayed behind to pray. When he made his way back through the narrow, tightly packed nearby streets of northern Gaza’s Jabalya Refugee Camp, he returned to a scene of complete chaos. An Israeli airstrike had smashed into the center of the densely populated community, tearing a deep crater into its heart. Their apartment had vanished. Scanning the devastation, Mahmoud suddenly noticed a single finger reaching up between the rubble; it was Elham. Miraculously she had survived. But his relief at finding her alive was brief. Two of their children, they would soon discover, were dead. Nothing would ever be the same again. Two weeks on from the horror of that day, the couple are more than 200 miles southwest of Gaza City, inside Cairo’s Nasser Medical Institute in neighboring Egypt. The wreckage and chaos of their shattered home was replaced by the cleanliness and order of this foreign medical facility, the noise of rockets and explosions exchanged for the benign, insistent hum of traffic crawling through Egypt’s bustling capital. But safety and care does not bring comfo edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-20-23/index.html |

They talk to mother of one of evacuated infant Mother of infant recounts evacuation from Al-Shifa for life-saving treatment in Egypt A mother whose premature baby was evacuated from Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital to Egypt has called Egypt the "best place on earth." Lubna El-Seik told a media pool, run by Egyptian state media that "it never occurred to us that the hospital would be targeted and that those children would have to go through what they went through." After a "difficult birth" on September 28, El-Seik's daughter was placed in an incubator in the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. "On the seventh of October, I was supposed to go and see my daughter. She was reliant on artificial respiration. Then they asked us to leave our house, then they bombed our house." El-Seik's husband stayed with her daughter for 10 days in the hospital so she could receive oxygen and nourishment. "During the siege, there was no milk. Her condition worsened. She went back to zero, and she relied solely on artificial oxygen," El Seik added. The young mother recounted the evacuation of the premature babies from Al Shifa, describing the coordination as "very good." edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-20-23/index.html |

And IDF is at again with Hamas IDF says it targeted enemy fire at Gaza's Indonesian Hospital overnight Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they responded to gunfire targeting their troops from within the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza overnight, according to a statement released on Monday. "Overnight, terrorists opened fire from within the Indonesian hospital in Gaza toward IDF troops operating outside the hospital," the statement says. "In response, IDF troops directly targeted the specific source of enemy fire. No shells were fired toward the hospital." Twelve people died after Israeli tank fire hit the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave said earlier on Monday. Among the dead are patients who were being treated at the hospital and a member of medical staff, health officials said. Palestinian journalist, Anas al-Sharif, who is inside the hospital, told CNN that Israeli tanks were outside the main hospital gates as well as other locations near the hospital. “We are under fire in the Indonesian Hospital, and we are trapped inside,” he said. A short video clip shared by the Palestinian Authority Foreign Ministry showed medical personnel inside the facility assisting an injured man on the floor, while another man held a dialysis tube hanging from the debris. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-20-23/index.html |

This what Egyptian doctor say just now Premature babies evacuated from Gaza hospital have arrived in Egypt. Here's what else to know Dozens of premature babies removed from the beleaguered Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza have now reached Egypt for medical treatment, while China has hosted talks with diplomats from Arab and Muslim majority nations focused on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Here are the latest headlines: Newborns arrive: Ambulances evacuating premature babies from Al-Shifa have arrived in Egypt through the Rafah crossing. The convoy was greeted by medical professionals waiting with incubators to take them into care. Opposing narratives over hostages: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has released CCTV videos and still images it says show Hamas fighters bringing hostages into Al-Shifa on October 7. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry responded to the IDF briefing by questioning the authenticity of the videos and stills — but went on to say that, if true, the pictures showed that hospitals were providing medical care to anyone who needed it. Doctor calls for international aid: A doctor inside Al-Shifa has spoken to CNN about conditions inside the facility, accusing Israeli forces of pushing around staff and questioning them about Hamas. He said two adults and two babies died overnight Saturday, leaving the hospital with about 259 patients, seven doctors and five nurses. The facility is running out of urgent requirements, including anesthetics, oxygen tanks, medicine and blood banks, he added, calling for international support. UN highlights "unliveable" conditions in Gaza shelters: The UN’s main aid agency in Gaza says heavy rain has been falling in the region on Monday, causing "unliveable" conditions in shelters. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) posted a video on X showing crowds in Gaza stepping through puddles of rain. Beijing making diplomatic push: Talks on “de-escalating” the Israel-Hamas conflict began in China as Beijing steps-up its efforts to play a role in establishing a ceasefire. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, the Palestinian National Authority, Indonesia, as well as the head of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in the capital Monday.

Here the good news folks MAYBE Israel-Hamas hostage deal talks in 'final phase' - Qatar However, insiders say some key obstacles to an agreement remain. Talks on a truce in the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of hostages taken by Hamas accelerated on Tuesday. "The movement [Hamas] has delivered its response to the brothers of Qatar and mediators. We are approaching the conclusion of a truce agreement," Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said on Tuesday in a brief message sent by his office to AFP. According to sources within Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the second largest Palestinian militant group, both have accepted an agreement, the details of which are set to be announced by Qatar and other mediators. Details of the hostage release Two sources close to the matter told AFP, a French press agency, on Tuesday that discussions were focused on releasing "50 to 100" hostages in exchange for 300 Palestinian prisoners in Israel, including children and women. The transfer would take place in stages at the rate of "ten" Israeli hostages against "thirty" Palestinian prisoners per day and would include the entry of food, medical aid and fuel into Gaza and above all a "renewable five-day humanitarian truce". But Israel insists on "family reunification" - which means if a civilian was released, their partner would also be, even if they were a soldier. Opposed to the release of Israeli troops, this is something Hamas refuses at the moment, according to the two sources cited by AFP. Relatives of hostages met Monday evening with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his "war cabinet", under pressure to bring the approximately 240 hostages back to Israel. “Recovering our hostages is a sacred and supreme task and I am committed to it,” declared Netanyahu. “We will not stop the fighting until we bring our hostages home, destroy Hamas and ensure that there are no more threats from Gaza,” he added. www.euronews.com/2023/11/21/truce-agreement-with-israel-approaching-claims-hamas |

Yeah UK calling for this UK calls for release of ship hijacked by Houthis The United Kingdom on Tuesday condemned the hijacking of the Galaxy Leader commercial ship by Houthis in the Red Sea, calling for the immediate release of the vessel and its crew. "The United Kingdom condemns the unlawful seizure of MV Galaxy Leader by the Houthis in the Red Sea and we call for the immediate, and unconditional, release of the ship and its crew," a spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said on Tuesday. This follows a similar appeal late on Monday from the US State Department that referred to the seizure as a "flagrant violation of international law." The ship's owner, Galaxy Maritime Ltd, also issued a statement about its vessel on Monday, saying it was in the region of the port of Hodeida in Yemen. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-netanyahu-hints-at-progress-on-hostages/live-67504176#:~:text=5%20hours%20ago-,UK%20calls%20for%20release%20of%20ship%20hijacked%20by%20Houthis,-The%20United%20Kingdom |

Bibi gave interview just now he just confirmed they are thissss close Israel's Netanyahu says 'making progress' in negotiations Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday addressed the Qatar-mediated negotiations, following an array of comments from Palestinians, Qataris and US officials involved in the talks raising hopes that an accord might be close. "We are making progress," Netanyahu told Israeli reservists, according to a statement published by his office. "I don't think it's worth saying too much, not even at this moment, but I hope there will be good news soon." Earlier comments from other parties to the negotiations had been similarly optimistic, albeit without anybody claiming that a deal was done. Netanyahu's office also said that "in light of developments in the matter of the release of our hostages," the prime minister would convene his war cabinet at 6 p.m. (1600 GMT/UTC), his broader security cabinet an hour later, and his entire cabinet an hour after that. In Qatar, which is mediating the talks, Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari told reporters on Tuesday that "We are at the closest point we ever had been in reaching an agreement," adding that "we're very optimistic, very hopeful." www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-netanyahu-hints-at-progress-on-hostages/live-67504176 |

It sound like CNN international egging on these poor hostage families talk smack about Bibi and Govt I saw interview that sound like to me or they just tick off that no breakthrough YET I be badmouth Bibi too to everybody from LA Liars to NY Liars to BBC also CNN Frustrations spill over in Israel as hostage families demand answers from Netanyahu Tensions are boiling over in Israel as frustrated families of hostages demand answers from the government about the fate of their loved ones and a deal for their release. “I demand their commitment that everyone is returning home. All the hostages. We must get answers, and a commitment … in a written form,” said Shai Wenkert, who son Omer is being held hostage in Gaza by the militant group Hamas. Wenkert spoke to media on Monday, before he and other relatives met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet in Tel Aviv. So far only a handful of families have met with Netanyahu – infuriating hundreds of other relatives of hostages who say the government isn’t doing enough to free them. But for some, the meeting only deepened their frustration. Udi Goren, whose cousin Tal Chaimi was taken captive, left the meeting early, saying he felt there was no new information on the hostages provided by the war cabinet, including details about a possible deal to release them. edition.cnn.com/2023/11/21/world/gaza-hostages-families-frustrations-netanyahu-intl-hnk/index.html |
