Dr. Mark Brauner, who volunteered in Gaza during the genocide, describes what hypothermia does to the human body. These are the conditions Israel is deliberately engineering by blocking shelter aid to make life unlivable & force what Israeli leaders call “voluntary migration” out of Gaza.

Wild: So both Biden & Trump bypassed Congress to send aid to Israel—to support Israel’s "defense" in "wartime."
That "defense" made other nations embargo Israel.
Now (despite the Trump-led "ceasefire"), this policy would give the US another way to send even more arms to Israel.

The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.
Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.
Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.
