How is a 9 year old child a threat against your country #Gaza #genocide
Since the “ceasefire,” Israeli military has killed more than 100 Palestinians, including a 9 year old Palestinian child in the West Bank, shooting him in the head.

Netanyahu’s new strikes in Gaza killed 104 Palestinians, including 46 children.

This is genocide.

Over 12,000 UNRWA staff in #Gaza teach, provide medical care & bring other vital support to displaced people.

Behind every lesson, health consultation, water distribution & waste collection, someone from UNRWA is making it happen.

Every day, despite the odds, they prove one thing: #UNRWAworks.

"Jouri Al-Attar, only 7 years old - was asleep when the occupation killed her and her family with a missile;
the house vanished, the family was gone, and the little laugh that once filled the place disappeared with them."

Today our teams across the #GazaStrip were treating severely wounded patients in attacks by Israeli forces, causing alarming civilian casualties. We have seen injured patients in Al Aqsa, Nasser and Al Shifa hospitals.
Segal is full of expressions which exhibit a lack of reflection. He does not evaluate Israel's behavior with the same light he uses on Palestinian behavior. I explored this in the abstract at: johntinker.substack.com/p/authentici...

🚨 In a West Bank ‘firing zone,’ Palestinians are erased as settlers lay down roots

While settlers' concrete mixers rumble under the Israeli army’s watch, Palestinian life in Masafer Yatta is being dismantled piece by piece.

I'm ashamed of so many of my countrymen‼️🤬 The co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s has accused its owner of being part of a movement of “corporate butt kissing” of Donald Trump and says management blocked the ice-cream brand from producing a flavour in support of peace in Gaza.

According to the UN, nearly half a million Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza since the Oct 10 ceasefire, only to find their homes turned to rubble.
Families now struggle to survive amid severe shortages of food, and, clean water, and shelter, surrounded by unexploded bombs.

A child and his twin sister were critically injured on Al-Jalaa Street in Gaza City after a toy-shaped object they were playing with suddenly exploded later identified as an #Israeli bomb remnant.
Across #Gaza, such incidents occur daily.
