Since the genocide was paused according to the mediators’ timetable, Israel has not allowed in anything that could shelter people or protect them from the terror of winter. No medicines or medical supplies have entered.

The genocide is still ongoing and in a far more horrific way than before.
In genocide, thoughts devour people.
Whoever doesn’t die from the bombing, the fire, the cold, the hunger, the humiliation of the tent, or illness… will be eaten alive by their own thoughts and die.

An old nun from Cuero, Texas, told me the city planned to cut old trees for road widening in the 1960s. She begged her father, a prominent city councilman, to find another way.

That’s why Cuero has trees in the road today

The situation in Gaza one month after the ceasefire:

The tank is just a few meters away from the people… and Israel has squeezed 2,000,000 Gazans into less than 36% of the Strip’s area, most of it filled with rubble!

This is the worst chapter of extermination: to be left exposed, stripped of any means of a human life, and at the first drop of rain, torrents of water mixed with sewage crash into your tent, which the sun has beaten down for two long years.
Ahhh… the exhaustion
