"The Palestinian people will never forget these moments.

They will never forget that they were left to face the hardest and cruelest conditions alone.

They will never forget that the sound of their children freezing and shivering didn't reach beyond the roof of their tents."

You're being way too kind to them. Unfortunately, the problem is, they just don't care! Wrong race, wrong religion! It's racism showing its ugly face.

Scenes of the daily violence that Palestinians have to endure in the occupied territories.

An elderly Bedouin of Jaba in #Jerusalem was injured after violent thugs attacked the location under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

"The extent of the destruction is beyond description".

The Israeli assault on #Gaza City, continues. Video shows the Askola area near Al-Ahli Hospital.

The only change while I was gone was for the worse. What else does it take for humanity to wake up from its slumber?!

A pair of Nubian ibexes climb the high mountains in the Ain Jidi desert in #Palestine.

They are attracted to the Ain Jidi reserve, where one of the valleys is supplied with a rare water source that flows down the sloping passage, forming a vital refuge for wildlife in the desert.

Finally some good news in all this carnage.

• The 1,218 packages dropped in that period equal just 40.6 truckloads in total, or an average of only 2.4 trucks per day, a mere 0.4% of what is actually needed.

At this rate, it would take 250 days of airdrops to deliver the same amount of aid #Gaza requires in a single day.

• Gaza’s actual need is around 600 trucks of aid every single day to stop famine and begin recovery. Over 17 days, that equals 10,200 trucks.

• Since one truckload equals 30 airdrop packages, #Gaza requires about 18,000 packages each day.

Why Israel's airdrops on #Gaza don’t end hunger but mask it

From 26 July to 11 August (17 days), Israel, with support from other countries, dropped only 1,218 aid packages into Gaza

Why Israel's airdrops on Gaza are just an illusion of aid

Between 26 July - 11 August 2025 (17 days)

~1218 aid packages were dropped

Gaza needs ~600 trucks every day to halt famine and begin recovery

In 17 days, needs ~10,200 trucks.

1 truckload

30 airdrop packages

1 day's need (600 trucks)

~18,000 airdrop packages

The 1218 packages dropped equal 40.6 trucks of aid

This means 2.4 trucks per day

0.4%

That's just 0.4% of what is needed over those 17 days

At the rate of ~1218 packages in 17 days, it would take 250 days of airdrops to match just one day's need

Airdrops are at least 100 times more costly than trucks

Since they were first introduced in March 2024, at least 26 Palestinians have been killed in wrong airdrops
