    Re: report on W. Africa Ebola virus by D. Herbert. Generally good, but: ---He stated that 90% of patients that go in to the treatment tents (centers), don't come out. This not true. Although Ebola can have fatality rates of up to 90%, among those that are begin treated in centers set up by MSF and other professional organizations, the fatality rate is in the 60% range. Thus 40% are being saved. ---Also said that if you do catch the disease, the onset of symptoms is very rapid. Again, not really true. Incubation period ranges from 2 to 21 days.

  • Middle east - Kerry, Ban announce 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza

    Middle east - Kerry, Ban announce 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza

    An Italian journalist who until Tuesday was embedded in Gaza has backed the IDF’s account of a rocket strike on a school playground in central Gaza’s Shati refugee camp on Monday. At least 10 people were killed in the attack – most of them children – and some sources claimed the death toll was as high as 30. Palestinian sources were quick to blame Israel, claiming that an Israeli fighter jet fired missiles directly at the playground and nearby hospital. Israel denied the accusations, saying that Hamas rockets aimed at Israel from the area misfired, and struck both the school and the hospital. Returning from his stint in Gaza, and safe from what he ominously referred to as potential “Hamas retaliation”, Italian journalist Gabriele Barbati on Tuesday afternoon broke the media silence by tweeting the following message, confirming that Hamas terrorists rushed to cover up evidence of what was indeed errant rocket fire aimed at Israel: Out of #Gaza far from #Hamas retaliation: misfired rocket killed children yday in Shati. Witness: militants rushed and cleared debris His claims raise some uncomfortable questions about the objectivity of reports coming from Gaza

  • Middle east - US condemns school shelling as Israel calls up 16,000 more reservists

    Middle east - US condemns school shelling as Israel calls up 16,000 more reservists

    FYI: Italian reporter Gabriele Barbati tweeted on Tuesday: “Out of #Gaza far from #Hamas retaliation: misfired rocket killed children today in Shati. Witness: militants rushed and cleared ­debris.” He was referring to a strike on Monday at al-Shati refugee camp which, together with a near-simultaneous hit on Shifa hospital, killed 10 people, including a number of children. Israel vehemently denied responsibility and said it had proof via photos and radar that misfired Islamic Jihad rockets had caused the deaths. In his tweet, Barbati backed up the Israeli version (the fast clean-up suggests a cover-up) — and implied that he would not have been free to say this had he been in Gaza. Media coverage of the Gaza war also has been distorted by the use of biased statistics. Widely cited casualty figures for Palestinians, especially claims regarding the percentage of civilians, come from the Gaza Ministry of Health, which is under Hamas control. Some stories cite “UN figures”, but these simply repeat the ministry figures.

    Can we maybe get a quote from someone else who was at the protest? Amazing how one-sided this article is. Obviously anyone reading this would believe the clashes in Sarcelles were the sole work of the JDL and a "provocation". When in fact, no one knows what actually happened.

    Middle east - Israel says it is 'days' from completing Gaza tunnel hunt

    “I’ve taken hundreds of bodies to the morgue. In the beginning, I felt sad for each body I took to the refrigerators, but after taking so many, it’s become normal. I have carried bodies shredded by missiles and tanks shells, children, women, old men and militants.” -- Musa Hassan at Shifa Hospital morgue Collective indifference sows the seeds of future storms. And the world does reap what it has sown -- doing just that now from Syria.
