so what are age breakdowns on the over 800 fatalities this year? At COVID's height here in Thailand the majority of the deaths were always over 60.. On a slightly different note, northeastern China is suffering from a huge outbreak of respiratorty disease in children necessitating hospitalization. D...

seems to me the Israeli entrance into the hospital and clearing it of Hamas fighhters (how many ditched their "uniforms" and beat feet in civvie?) means that the Israelis now have the responsibility for the well being of the patients and the hospital.

there are no real details on this new program nor how it will be implemented. No answers to diplomatic treaties (around 60 countries) preventing double taxation on earned income..

not enough details to throw out any opinions on it. I'd suspect they'll be accompanying Tourist Police once they hash it all out.

Nong Wua So?? Isn't that an Army artillery range in the hills out there?? How are these landless farmers identified? Are there stipulations in the land documents saying it can't be sold for XXX years??

and all the steel and concrete they stole from aid coming into Gaza for housing to build said tunnels...
