I'm not posting a link to the press conference but it is out there. And Sky News has a video of the hospital people were taken to in the aftermath.Could certainly be propaganda but some doctors (supposedly) held a press conference among the bodies outside of the al-ahli arab hospital.Here's what CNN is currently reporting on this topic:How can all of these revised media reports still be declaring 500 people dead???
There might literally be zero.
Editor's Note: This post contains graphic descriptions of violence.
Two witnesses of the deadly blast Tuesday at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza described the scene after the explosion, which the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Ministry of Health has said killed hundreds of people.
One, a doctor who is working with Doctors Without Borders and said he was inside the hospital at the time, described in a post on Facebook seeing "many dismembered bodies" following the blast, including a decapitated child.
The doctor, Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sitteh, said he believed the overall death toll would "continue to increase."
Another witness, Adnan, told CNN the devastation that followed the blast was "beyond normal."
“If you look over there on the roads, there are body parts all over it, heads and hands of people, hands and brains of children," said Adnan, who would give only his first name. "It is truly indescribable.”
Adnan pointed out everyday items within the wreckage, like mattresses, pillows, children's shoes and diapers.
Some context: CNN cannot independently confirm what caused the blast nor the extent of casualties.“Look, what kind of danger does a mattress and a pillow pose to Israel? What fault did the trees and rocks make? Come here, look," Adnan said, pointing out shoes and diapers. "It was full of supplies for people."
Gaza officials blamed Israel, while the Israel Defense Forces said it was the result of a failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad. That group denied the Israeli assertion.
The US government currently believes that Israel "is not responsible" for the blast, according to the National Security Council.Live updates: Israel-Hamas war rages as President Biden arrives in Tel Aviv

Is there any evidence whatsoever, other than the word of these two people that I cannot possibly assess, that backs up any of this? Where are the photos of the many dismembered bodies? Where is this decapitated child? That seems awfully on-the-nose given the events of 10/7, so surely is evidence of that. Where is this road that is allegedly covered in body parts and brains? Why isn't anyone being shown any of this? And why is CNN passing it along without corroboration?
Why do random people on Twitter -- all of whom have full time jobs doing something other than journalism -- care more about finding out what actually happened than the professional journalists?
And yet no one can post a link to a pic of all those bodies and/or even a written confirmation of someone seeing this news conference amongst them?
