Request for neutral language edit
All sources cite "Gaza's Civil Defense", a relatively obscure organization with only one known member, Mahmoud Basal. It would be fair to edit the article to highlight the unconfirmed nature of the mass graves as, for now, they're only alleged by one side of the conflict.
Additionally, the first sentence in the background section is either misleading or the author did not understand the source article. The CNN article cited discusses hospitals in northern Gaza, not throughout the Gaza strip. The language in the wiki article should be ammended to reflect that.
Further, it is important background info that one of the kindapped Israeli hostages alleges she was held in Nasser hospital alongside other hostages. Footzitzgerald (talk) 14:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- I will treat this as 3 separate edit requests (please in future, express such requests straightforwardly in the form change X to Y).
- 1) The UN and the US are asking for Israeli clarifications about them so there appears to be little doubt that such graves exist. Not done.
- 2) Done.
- 3) This seems undue. That alone, even if true, would not constitutes a sufficient reason to attack the hospital. Not done. Selfstudier (talk) 15:33, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Request for edit: WHO Director and Al-Shifa director reporting on use of mass graves in November 2023 edit
Please add a mention in the section on Al-Shifa that there had already been confirmation by Al-Shifa administrators and reported by the WHO Director that the hospital had been forced to use mass graves due to dire circumstances. I believe this is important context to add.

- Added and wikilinked to earlier siege. AJ ref is sufficient, I think. Selfstudier (talk) 11:04, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
