The cease-fire is over, but not before it offered a glimpse of the war’s horrors to Palestinians in Gaza and people around the world.

As residents used the fragile truce to find aid, search for loved ones under the rubble, and head home to survey the destruction, a particularly disturbing scene emerged.

Seen in a video that moves through the abandoned and disarrayed hallways of the pediatric intensive care unit at Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital in northern Gaza were several babies whose unattended bodies lay on separate hospital beds. A blurred version of the video was shared widely on social media this week, a grim and graphic contrast to other scenes of families reunited as hostages and prisoners were freed.

In a piece he reported, Mohammed Baalousha, a journalist with the Emirati TV channel Al-Mashhad, said he found the decomposing infants when he entered the pediatric ICU in the health facility in Gaza City. The hospital’s staff and critically ill patients were forced to evacuate in early November as the Israeli military focused its ground assault on the city, with hospitals under fire.

NBC News obtained raw footage from the channel and has reviewed its contents.

    Apart from the word, don’t you agree that the way Israel is acting at this moment is condemnable?

      We don’t need anything aside from the word, and you are right about the Israelis.

      But you can go fuck yourself for using divisive language like ‘libtard’. One, how are we supposed to work with you or even talk to you when you use such a childish and insulting term? And two, it’s not even accurate. Conservatives consistently prove they’re the idiots.

      Let’s just take one example. The economy. Every Democrat in the last 100 years has improved the economy, and every Republican has harmed it. It’s because Democrats invest in people through empowering unions and raising minimum wages. Trickle down economics has been proven to not work for almost 60 years now and conservatives still push that bullshit.

      It’s like that on every issue. You’re just wrong.

        I’m assuming with “you” you do not mean me personally since I did not write the initial comment nor did I in any way excuse using that ignorant word. I was merely stating that whatever Israel is doing at this moment in Gaza is disgusting and condemnable.
