As human beings, we have an instinct to protect the most vulnerable in our society. It’s safe to assume that most people consider babies in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) to be the most vulnerable population in any society. On November 10, doctors, patients and hospital staff were forced to evacuate Al-Nasr Hospital as the Israeli military continued its ground invasion of northern Gaza. Staff concluded they could not safely evacuate five NICU babies, as they relied on oxygen machines. The Israeli army said they would allow the Red Cross to evacuate these babies after the army finished raiding the hospital. Two weeks later, during a four-day humanitarian pause, journalist Mohammed Baalousha discovered the babies abandoned in their incubators, decomposing and having been ravaged by stray animals. The journalist who reported this story was killed by Israel two weeks after he shared with the world the fate of these premature babies. Tiny babies, left to starve, freeze and suffocate. Where is humanity?
