A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.

Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.

Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.

In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.

These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.

Keir Starmer has betrayed the children of Gaza.

keep coming back to this image and you can tell he’s so loved like someone chose those clothes and those shoes and packed his bag and gave him his bottle and kissed him goodbye and fixed his glasses and he was so cherished but the world is so cruel im so crushed

[Peter Raleigh @PetreRaleigh]

Decades of spasmodic military-industrial policy and a cultural groundwater completely flooded with unchallenged anti-Muslim bigotry have led to this, a "war" without even the barest pretense of a morally coherent aim, just sheer will to annihilate until the impulse is spent

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

Middle East Eye has collected the names and ages of some of those children killed in the US-Israeli air strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school.

My heart breaks for Iran

More than 1,000 people have been killed since the US and Israel started bombing

Millions are traumatized

No one is any freer

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

If it's not systematic carpet bombing, it's collective punishment and forced starvation. Or it's land theft and dispossession.

Because the objective has only ever been ethnic cleansing.

A 🧵on Israel’s ban of 37 international humanitarian organizations:
This is a ban. Calling it de registration or suspension diminishes the severity of this unprecedented action: barring the who’s who of global humanitarian orgs from aiding Palestinians 1/

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

Following a prolonged period of systematic settler attacks, including damaging property, stealing crops and preventing access to the mosque, the last four families of the Palestinian community of Khirbet Yanoun, in the Nablus district, have been forced to leave their homes today. This follows explicit threats by settlers and an ultimatum ordering the families to permanently leave the area.

Khirbet Yanoun is the 45th Palestinian community to be forcibly displaced since October 2023, as a result of ongoing settler violence carried out with the backing of the Israeli military and state authorities. This is not an isolated incident, but part of a broader and ongoing policy of expulsion and ethnic cleansing that Israel is advancing in the West Bank.

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

Lest Gaza slip from our collective memory: More casualties every day. The tragedy continues while the world’s attention fades.

[Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya د.حسام أبو صفية @HussamAbuSafiya]

A year has passed since the detention of my father,
In this white coat, he walked alone amidst death, destruction, and in front of tanks—not because he was fearless, but because his oath and his humanity were greater than any fear. He refused to abandon the children and the wounded at Hospital , and for that, he was detained.
This image is a testament to the courage of the man who was the last line of defense for life, and it is the very same scene that ended with his unjust arrest.
A full year of injustice has passed. Today, we ask for nothing but his freedom. Please share his story to keep his voice alive.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

The rain is pouring heavily now in Gaza, late at night, penetrating our destroyed homes and fragile tents mercilessly. We had no time to prepare; from the very first moment, water started seeping in and flooding everything around us.

Children are shivering between pools of mud, and mothers struggle desperately to protect what remains of their wet blankets. Our land has turned into a swamp no shelter, no warmth, no safety.

Our life has become an unbearable hell, and we are slowly burning under this biting cold.
We only ask for caravans to protect us from this ongoing torment, so we can live with dignity even for a moment.

What we are going through is beyond belief, and we are collapsing day by day in deadly silence.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

In the 73 days since the so-called “ceasefire” was signed, Israel has killed 411 Palestinians and wounded 1,112 more, including two civilians it shot and killed today near Shujayea in eastern Gaza City. Israel has provided no evidence that a single one of the roughly 1,500 people it has killed or maimed posed any threat to its forces.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Israel has killed at least 70,937 Palestinians and injured at least 171,192 in its genocide in Gaza since October 2023.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

Every single child deserves a warm, safe home.

Yet in Gaza, after two years of Israeli bombardment, siege and aid restrictions – and now as tents flood from torrential rain – children are sleeping on the bare ground with no shelter, in flimsy shorts and t-shirts that are sodden with sewage water.

Even on nights with no rain, the weather is still cold, children are bearing cold nights trying to sleep without the warm clothes they need.

[WasimSaid @wasimsaidharbid]

Everything I own was drowned by the rain. Even I myself couldn’t sleep last night. I stood the whole night in a pool of rainwater that flooded my tent.
But truly, what broke my heart the most is that I lost my book — the only printed copy of my book in Gaza.
Witness to the Hellfire of Genocide,
A Living Testimony from the Hell of Gaza.
The hell continues, and it seems no one cares about testimonies…

STARVING CHILDREN by choices made in Tel Aviv, enabled by choices made in Western capitals, and beyond.
