There are disasters happening in Gaza that most of the world knows nothing about.
Because the entire sewage system has been destroyed, people are forced to dig a pit about four meters deep next to their tents to serve as a sewage collection pit. Every family has to dig one because there is no longer any functioning sewage network.
My family and I dug more than six of these pits during our displacement. Every time we were forced to move to a new place, we had to start over and dig another one.
With the enormous number of tents across Gaza, hundreds of these open pits now surround displaced families. They pose a constant danger, especially to children, and animals also fall into them and die.
Today, a little girl fell into one of these large sewage pits. She was rescued only because a young man risked his own life to climb down and save her. This was not the first incident of its kind. Other children have drowned in these pits before, and many cats and dogs have also fallen into them and died.
Gaza City has collapsed completely. There is no functioning sewage infrastructure left. Large amounts of sewage are discharged into the sea, while the rest remains trapped among the tents, creating a breeding ground for disease, insects, and rodents.
Netanyahu appointed a convicted terrorist, who is also deeply incompetent, to the minister in charge of the police. Crimes skyrockets, a wave of bombings between rival gangs sweeps Israel, leading the US embassy in Israel to issue this warning ⬇️
UPDATE: The family has been driven from its home after the Israeli army colluded with settlers to make their lives unbearable. Settlers have now taken over the house.
The international community has failed this family. An utter disgrace.
Satellite imagery shows Israel is constructing a massive earth barrier stretching more than 23 kilometers across Gaza, physically dividing over half of the Strip. The barrier cuts through destroyed Palestinian communities and continues expanding, further isolating areas including Rafah, Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, and northern Gaza.
The world’s highest court, the ICJ, has ruled that Israel is an apartheid state.
Israel’s Supreme Court decides Israel can ban aid groups like Save the Children from Gaza if they refer to Israel as an apartheid state.
@naftalibennett There are many Israelis who, like I, think that our war in Gaza was a crime against humanity and that the crimes and atrocities of Hamas do not justify our genocide, and that our Prime Minister should face justice.
Can't make this shit up: Israeli Border Police block Haaretz journalists from reaching a Palestinian family trapped under a criminal settler siege in their own home, while settlers roam freely behind.
The second video is a long shot of this incident, at the Tubasi home in Jalud.
Palestinian citizens of Israel have no sense of personal safety or security, especially the last 4 years. It’s only a matter of time before Jewish Israelis and Americans in Israel feel it as well. This is a response to stun grenades thrown at restaurants in central Israel.
Gaza’s death toll from Israel’s genocidal war has risen to 73,305, with 173,918 others injured, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

Imagine death penalty for Christians only, for Jews only, for Bavarians or Parisians only. People belonging to a group presumed guilty and deprived of civilians status.
Only because they want to live as a people. Free on their land.
This is what colonial repression looks like.
This Israeli Knesset official vandalized a Palestinian school for orphans.
It’s part of a larger plan to disrupt the education of Palestinian children.
