I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...
Heavy rainfall floods the camps of displaced Palestinians in Gaza | CNN
Displaced Palestinians in Gaza woke up Friday morning to inches of water flooding their tents, after heavy rainfall overnight left their shelters and belongings soaked with no way to dry them out.

Remember how they told you to stop wearing an n95 even though it would ostracize disability communities? Even though COVID still kills & disables?
It was their plan: habituate folks to preventable death & disability, teach them to abandon the sick, then dismantle public health.
