Say probably most of them would die.

But instead of comparing "most will die" versus "all will live" if left in place during war, I'd want to know the survival rate at that hospital pre-war.

That's the control situation, the 'null hypothesis.' That's what you compare against. Not "most would have died" versus "all would have survived"--an assumption that might be horribly wrong. (Actually, the "most would die" is also just a prediction. Data, I'm sure, is forthcoming.)

If most would have died in 9/23, then the difference is a detail. If most would have lived in 9/23, then there's unnecessary death caused by the declaration of war by Hamas on 10/7 in violation of the ceasefire and the rather lopsided war carried out by Israel after lots of evacuation warnings.

I don't know if Israel or Egypt or any other countries were called upon to help evacuate the most innocent and vulnerable from ash-Shifa. I'd imagine *that* could have been worked out. Hard to disguise a current Hamas fighter as a preemie or a newborn at-risk.

31 babies were evacuated. Apparently, all 31 survived.

28 are now in hospitals in Egypt. The other three remained at a southern Gaza hospital with at least two in good health.

Didn't someone tell us on DU that they had all died?
