Al-Awda Hospital overwhelmed after Israeli military raid on Jabalia
Dr Mohamad Salha spoke to Al Jazeera from al-Awda Hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip, where he is treating people who were injured in the newest Israeli raid on Jabalia, which killed at least 33 people.
He said as many as 70 people, the majority of whom are women and children, are being treated at the hospital but that there are many still trapped under the rubble.
The operating theatre at the hospital, he said, has been overwhelmed, especially since many of the injuries, which include burns and abdominal wounds, require complicated treatment.
Salha said that the Israeli military has issued the staff at the hospital evacuation orders but that they will not leave those who are in desperate need of treatment in the north of the Gaza Strip.

Palestine UN envoy: We seek to expel Israel from UN General Assembly
A group of 12 Arab ambassadors has met behind closed doors with the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to discuss Gaza at the UN headquarters in New York.
After the meeting, Palestine’s ambassador to the UN, Riyad Mansour, told reporters the discussion centred on a need for an immediate ceasefire and bolstering support for UNRWA, the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency. Israel’s parliament is currently considering legislation to ban the organisation from operating in the country.
He also said the group is pushing for a new UN Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire and renewed a call for Israel to be expelled from the UN General Assembly.
“The Security Council has the tools to force its will and to use everything available to it,” Mansour told the press.
“With regard to UNRWA, if they [Israel] continue on the path, among other things, of trying to destroy it, there is no taboo in the General Assembly of questioning the seat of a country that does not respect all of us, nor the General Assembly, nor international law, nor the Security Council, nor the secretary-general.
“A country that behaves in such arrogance and disrespect to its obligation under the Charter of the United Nations does not deserve to have a seat in the General Assembly among us”, he said.

Article 6
A Member of the United Nations which has persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter may be expelled from the Organization by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.
Yeah I would agree Israel has wiped its ass with the principles of the present charter, for many decades

For example
To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace
