With the arrival of summer heat waves, Gaza's overcrowded camps for displaced Palestinians face the growing risk of epidemic and disease, the Gaza Civil Defence Agency warned on April 25.
"The suffering of displaced people in the displacement camps in the southern governorates of Gaza seems to be increasing with the intensification of heat waves,'' the agency said in a statement.
It added that this situation "forewarns of the widening spread of epidemics and diseases among them, especially among children and pregnant women."
The statement called on the World Health Organization (WHO) ''to urgently take actions to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees and find alternative places to tents amid severe heat waves in the coming days."
Gaza is experiencing a severe heat wave, with temperatures reaching around 37°C during daylight hours on Thursday.
Jerusalem, the most sought out middle eastern city in history. An important city for three of the five major religions in the world, so of course people are still fighting over it like children over a toy.
When the borders were first established(favoring the Zionists over the Palestinians), the UN decided that Jerusalem would be under their jurisdiction as to prevent Israel and Palestine from fighting over it. And of course they underestimated the Zionists desire to make the city their capital even though they had over 50% of the land. If the UN thought that the Zionists would have been satisfied with controlling half of the city and Palestine having the other half then they must have been surprised when the six days war happened and Israel trying to annex all of historic Palestine and then some. What did they expect giving a bunch of fascists that much land and power?
I have stated before that the Israeli government doesn’t understand the importance of Jerusalem and only sees it as a trophy. It’s because they are trying to make it into a Jewish city, fitting for a Jewish state. But Jerusalem is not a Jewish city, it’s a cosmopolitan one. And since it’s a cosmopolitan city then Israel is unfit to govern it by default because they have no interest in being cosmopolitan.
You’re probably wondering “Then who should govern west Jerusalem instead?”, well that’s easy to answer: Palestine.
When the Ottoman Empire let the locals govern their country mostly independent, the Palestinians let people from other countries not only to pray and trade in the city but they let them live and work there too. Maybe you didn’t know this, but Jerusalem is not only a center for religious worship but also a center for trade in the Middle East. Palestine actually made the city more prosperous by creating a network of trade between Jerusalem, Gaza and Jaffa. I have talked about this in a previous post about Palestine’s history.
To summarize: Palestine can abide by being a cosmopolitan country, Israel, however, does not. So if the UN are deciding to where to put the borders between Israel and Palestine, then they should make new ones, not just using the old racist ones from 1967. And have Palestine be the lone custodian of Jerusalem as to preserve its diverse history and culture.
If you want to learn about Palestine’s history before the westerners made their lives hell, watch this documentary on the subject:
UN said: Gaza needs 70 years to be livable, at least 70% of the infrastructure is destroyed.. Gaza, the most beautiful city that I have ever seen in some before and after pictures that shows a little part of the destruction.
Did you see the video where Israeli soldiers dressed up like Muslim women and doctors and stormed the hospital in the West Bank and assassinated 3 young Palestinians?
Did you see the bloody pillow with the bullet hole in it?
THIS IS WHO THEY MURDERED IN THAT BED. A paralyzed CHILD named Bassel.
This video was taken just one day before Israel literally shot him in the face in his bed.
Just when you think they can’t get any lower, they do. I don’t care what lies they tell about this child, it is illegal EVERYWHERE to do what they did.
This kid had nothing to do with October 7th. And anything else he did, you simply aren’t allowed to go into a hospital and murder a paralyzed child.
It’s CRAZY that we even have to say this.
And the White House actually defended this today, but it was before this video was released.
I have been yelling this for a while now. Zionists will say "oh well we dont show our dead bodies because we respect them unlike hamas". The dead bodies arent the only thing we are seeing from Gaza honey, we also see the destroyed buildings, how israhell has leveled down most of Gaza, yet we dont see the same from israel. Where are your destroyed buildings huh? You cannot possibly say that you dont show them cause you respect them also 💀
Then zionists will turn around and say "if you want I can show you all the dead israelis" like??? So do you respect the dead or not?
Forced from their homes by Israel’s relentless onslaught, Palestinians in Gaza’s Rafah surviving in makeshift tents are now enduring a scorching heatwave, with temperatures hitting 40°C, signaling a harsh summer ahead.
[image ID: a tweet from elliot HBH era ❤️🩹, @jagblundarr, which reads: "the eurovision admins are on a blocking rampage so that our comments do not overshadow their tweets come eurovision season next week. they cannot block everyone so PLEASE don't let this discourage you from exposing their hypocrisy under their tweets.
ban Israel from Eurovision."
the tweet is in response to Hanna 🇵🇸 , @BRlVlDI, who had tweeted: "end of an era. go fuck yourselves, @ eurovision." along with a screenshot of the eurovision song contest account which says "You are blocked from following @ Eurovision and viewing @ Eurovision's posts. Learn more"
end ID]
as the tweet pointed out, eurovision season is next week, so PLEASE, boycott! boycott the contest, the participating artists, and the broadcasters who are showing it!
until Armenia and Palestine are free & israel and azerbaijan are banned, there CANNOT be a good reason to engage with eurovision. tweet the social media teams, email the broadcasting corporations, make it KNOWN that you are not going to allow them to continue to platform both azerbaijan and israel. send complaints to ofcom, but give the actual contest & music NOTHING - don't hate watch/listen. don't stream the songs. don't even PIRATE it. give them NOTHING, but take EVERY OPPORTUNITY to address the fact that they're allowing genocidal fascists to participate.
It has been announced officially that israel will be participating despite the many calls and petitions against it due to the genocide of the Palestinians that they are conducting.
Russia was banned because of the war with Ukraine, why not israel?
