aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval The ICRC said it was the "highest number of weapon-wounded in a single incident since the establishment of the field hospital over a year ago", and that it "far surpassed" the capacity of the 60-bed facility. aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said in a statement that it had also responded to the "mass casualty" incident, and that the blood bank at Nasser hospital, where the injured were treated, was almost empty, with medical staff donating blood themselves to help the injured.
aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval Claire Manera, the organisation's emergency co-ordinator, said that the incident had "shown once again that this new system of aid delivery is dehumanising, dangerous and severely ineffective". aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval The IDF said in a statement: "In recent hours, false reports have been spread, including serious allegations against the IDF regarding fire toward Gazan residents in the area of the humanitarian aid distribution site in the Gaza Strip. aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval "Findings from an initial inquiry indicate that the IDF did not fire at civilians while they were near or within the humanitarian aid distribution site and that reports to this effect are false," it added.
aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval MSF said at least two patients told them they and others had been shot while trying to get aid. MSF communications officer Nour Alsaqa said in a statement that as MSF staff were treating patients, they also "received confirmation that a colleague's brother had been killed while attempting to collect aid from the centre". aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval Another incident was said to have happened near a separate aid centre in the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, with the Palestinian Red Crescent reporting 14 injured.

aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval After a decade of managing it in the public health system, Cauchi started regular sessions with psychiatrist Dr Andrea Boros-Lavack in his hometown of Toowoomba in 2012. aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval In 2015 he complained about the medication side effects, so Dr Boros-Lavack started to gradually reduce his dosage of clozapine – used for treatment-resistant schizophrenia – after seeking a second opinion from another psychiatrist, the inquest heard.
aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval She weaned him off clozapine entirely in 2018 and Cauchi also stopped taking medication to treat his obsessive-compulsive disorder the year after, she said. aninvestorframeworkforaneraofupheaval In 2019, for the first time in about 15 years, Cauchi was no longer on antipsychotic medications. No second opinion on completely stopping either drug was sought by Dr Boros-Lavack, she admitted under questioning.
