Video: Inside One of the Last Functioning Hospitals in Gaza
Today is the worst day. They bombed another school. The kids are not dead. They are burned — alive. Dying. Babies. Sorry, this is graphic. I don’t think that people really, truly understand how bad things are. What I saw there was so indescribable. I realized I needed to take pictures and document and little videos because nobody would believe it unless I did. The primary thing that I did there was triaging and mass casualty. This is not advanced I.C.U. care. We often never got there. The longer I stayed there, I realized that my role wasn’t being a physician. It was being a witness. I started a WhatsApp group where I shared reflections and stories almost like a diary or journal entry. Reflection Update 14: This is worse than I ever could have imagined. Shrapnel pulled from a 1½-year-old baby’s chest wall. Gloves for every helping hand is a luxury. Hemostats being sterilized via alcohol and betadine, if you’re lucky. Dr. Nabil and Dr. Mohammed have barely slept the last 48 hours. They do not have all the tools. Their gowns are not waterproof. The electricity goes out regularly, but they have tag-teamed case after case, and just keep moving. The capacity of the hospital was supposed to be between 150 and 200 people, and there were 700 patients in that hospital. Last night was bad, depressed skull fracture. His father tapped me on the shoulder many times, asking what I thought. This kid sat upright with no pain medicine as they washed out his shrapnel wounds. Small child with a blast injury/ traumatic brain injury. His odds of surviving are little. Every time I do not think it could get worse, it does. Today Deir al Balah, the area I’m in, was bombed, resulting in a massive mass casualty event at the hospital. I lifted a dying little girl in my arms off the floor when I got frustrated waiting for a gurney and realized she was going to die on the floor at my feet. The girl, named Farrah, was 12 years old, but about the size of my 10-year-old daughter. I can still feel her arms around my neck as I type this. There were a few more kids that died today. One in his father’s arms. This is a father cleaning off his son for the final time. A mother holding the shoes of her child. I don’t know if he’s alive. There was no time to process. We only have this many machines. We only have this much space. We only have this much gauze. I don’t have enough blood to hang for blood transfusions. I don’t have enough fluids to get this person’s blood pressure up. And so, the decisions were made second to second, and we tried our best. This nurse’s name is Warda, which means flower. My man Anas, always ready with some nicotine. Alaa, an I.C.U. nurse and the chef of the I.C.U. He may understand a quarter of what I say and vice versa, but I love him. Every health care provider is living in two worlds. Every time an ambulance pulls up, the first question people ask is, “What neighborhood was it where the bomb dropped? Was it where my family was?” Turn on the news. Massive explosion in crowded area in Khan Younis. It’s going to be busy. A little girl lay on a cardboard box. I lift the cardboard box. That’s when I see the penetrating chest wound. Hell, she’s going to die right here in this spot. Today, I’ve watched all the things I theoretically learned about burn patients in my training and education, happen right in front of my eyes in a matter of one day. I will never forget this image for the rest of my life: siblings.

Live possum discovered hiding among plush toys in an Australian airport gift shop
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Someone was playing possum — or stuffed animal.
Among plush kangaroos, dingoes and Tasmanian devils ready to be bought by parents of antsy children, a live brushtail possum waited in a gift shop at an Australian airport this week.
The wild animal was first noticed by a shopper in the store on Wednesday, retail manager Liam Bloomfield of Hobart Airport in the state of Tasmania said.
“A passenger reported it to …. one of the staff members on shift who couldn’t quite believe what she was hearing,” Bloomfield told The Associated Press. “She then called the (airport) management and said we’ve got a possum in the store.”

Staff at the airport were able to remove the animal without harming it.
“I’m imaging it saw some of the plush animals that were for sale on the shelf and it decided to make its home with those,” Bloomfield joked of why the possum was hiding with the stuffed toys. “It wanted to blend in.”

“Can you spot the imposter?” the airport wrote in a Facebook post Thursday that showed the possum curled up in a cubby with its stuffed counterparts.
“This cheeky lost possum found a clever hiding place among the Aussie plushies in our retail store,” the airport continued. “Luckily it was safely relocated out of the terminal area and the space was cleaned.”

Bloomfield said the possum not only found a way into the airport but also their hearts.
“We’ll have a little shrine to the possum,” he revealed, according to The Independent. “There will be a nice little photo; once it gets a name, we will put a nice little post in front of the store to make sure it’s remembered.”

Curro Rodríguez: from bankruptcy to global water empire
Published on •Updated
From a start-up founded in Malaga in 2015 with a few thousand euros, Ly Company has become one of Europe’s fastest-growing multinationals, and a global leader in the sustainable water packaging sector.

With ten factories located across Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, Ly Company produces about 10 million bottles of water in cardboard packaging per month.
Unlike most competitors, Ly Company doesn’t owe its success to mass retail firms.
It sells personalised products to more than 3,000 brands, ranging from airlines and hotel chains to private transport companies and major events organisers. “There is a lot of water in sectors where no one thinks it is consumed”, notes Rodríguez. “An airline, for example, can consume 50 million bottles per year.”
The company is now targeting China and, above all, the United States.
Its positioning is also based on sustainability: factories powered by green energy, cardboard from responsibly managed forest, bioplastic made from sugar cane and water guaranteed to be microplastics-free. Part of the profits fund his “Agua y Vida” Foundation, which is involved in environmental and humanitarian projects.
“I’ve gone through some very difficult times. Now that I’m doing well, I want to give something back to society”, explains Curro Rodríguez.
Behind this rise lies a chaotic journey. While working as a first-responder in emergency medical services for twenty years, he was simultaneously launching businesses, sometimes risky ones. Two successive bankruptcies saw him resort to food aid and doing odd jobs for a while, before he reinvented himself.
“My passion is bringing projects to life”, explains Curro Rodríguez, who has founded a total of 39 companies, 23 of which are currently active within his holding company. “When things are done out of emotion, and not for money, they create value. The money follows. But you have to look for value first”, he concludes, a big smile on his face.

What Tunnel Entrances Reveal About a Key Iranian Nuclear Site
Satellite images show how Iran has tried to bolster its defenses at parts of the Isfahan nuclear facility.
-
What you’re seeing here are buried tunnel entrances at a nuclear facility in Iran. It’s one of the most important sites in the country for U.S. and Israeli forces. U.N. inspectors think that roughly half of Iran’s highly enriched uranium is buried here. And these three entrances are the only known ways to access it. If you think about nuclear sites in Iran, three main sites come to mind. They’re pretty well known: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. Natanz and Fordo, They were largely taken out in U.S. strikes last year. So I’ve been focusing on Isfahan. The uranium here is still relatively accessible. It’s actually a pretty large complex. This area here was very important for uranium processing, but it was heavily hit by the U.S. and Israel last June. If you go a little bit further north, that is underground and that requires tunnels to enter. In a terrain view, it gets quite interesting. There are three roads that lead to these tunnel entrances, and these tunnel entrances have become very important, both last year, but also right now. They lead to the underground facility where U.N. inspectors say uranium is stored and a new enrichment site could be located. If this falls into the wrong hands, that would be a problem in the long term. Here’s a great example of how very recent satellite imagery gives us new insights. This is from late January of this year, and what you see here is a line of trucks. And they’re filled with soil, and they’re lining up to go to some of these tunnel entrances. If you look a little bit closer here, you see another one of these trucks that’s just unloading some of the soil and some earthmoving equipment. Iran in preparation for any possible attacks at that point. They try to protect this facility a little bit more. So this is Jan. 29. And if you just look a few days later, we go to Feb. 2. This is the completely buried tunnel entrance, completely covered in soil to protect from any attack. And this is how it still looks in mid-March. The U.S. and Israel have basically two options here: The first one is to heavily bombard the entrances to this underground complex that would block any access, at least in the near future. They haven’t done that yet. So that’s very, very interesting — a little bit surprising. And it might point towards a second option: That would be to go in with ground forces and to extract the uranium. But that would require a really large amount of troops to secure the vast area, bringing in earthmoving equipment to clear the tunnels and a lot of time in hostile territory.
