The Israel Defense Forces says it supplied 300 liters of fuel for “urgent medical purposes” at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, but Hamas prevented the medical center from receiving it.

Early this morning, troops placed the jerrycans near the hospital, as had been coordinated in advance with officials at Shifa.

    I estimated an answer based on the available data, and never cast myself as an expert.

    Like any estimate, it is associated with error. But even with error, it is better than meaningless criticism like “That can’t be right”, truthiness like “a couple of hours??”, or politically motivated reasoning like “If IDF is associated with this, then it must be completely useless”.

    If you want to try to make a better estimate based on better data, be my guest.

      No, you took data straight from the source - you made it the fuck up. You are spreading misinformation.

      No, I won’t repeat your mistake by guesstimating how much fuel does a hospital I have never seen needs on a daily basis.

      No, it is not better than what you mention, because it is simply false. And a person reading your post will come to a false conclusion. So either you have an interest in spreading bullcrap, or you do it because you believe you are right. Both of which are concerning.

        If you can’t estimate what a hospital requires, then why would you assume 300L of fuel is insufficient?

        The original poster concluded it was insufficient by comparing it to an automobile fuel tank. Which is ridiculous. If you actually think that’s a logical comparison, then you’re just looking for someone to confirm your biases.
