Sad to see the government not taking the opportunity to ask for new homes to meet the best-in-class air quality standards.
If the government wants to allow wood-burning stoves as secondary heat sources in 'future homes', they need to ensure this only happens outside of urban areas.

Four now confirmed dead in this strike, two of them World Central Kitchen aid workers
World Central Kitchen volunteers have been hit again, by an #Israel’i airstrike in #Gaza today. One of the only orgs successfully getting food to thousands of starving Palestinians is now pausing ops while they investigate what happened & figure out how to protect their staff under these conditions.
