Heavy winter storms flooded Gaza’s tent camps on Friday, collapsing shelters and soaking families already displaced by Israel’s war. Streets in Gaza City turned into rivers of mud and rubble as rain poured into makeshift tents. Parents described children waking up drenched with no dry clothes, food, or protection. Civil Defense reported widespread distress calls across Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Nuseirat. The UN says nearly 1.5 million people need emergency shelter, yet Israel continues to block tents, caravans, and other shelter aid in violation of the ceasefire. Hospitals also flooded, forcing staff to evacuate malnourished children to higher floors. The full report by @AbdSabbah91 in Gaza and @sharifkouddous is linked below. 🎥 Footage by @AbdSabbah91

Last week an indigenous student at my local high school was suspended for an Insta post strongly criticizing Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Read & sign if you think the school has no business policing students’ political views (or language on social media…)

“More than 150,000 people have died across the country and about 12 million have fled their homes, creating one of the worst humanitarian crises.”

This is a genocide in Sudan.

The fall of el-Fasher would cement the RSF's control of the west and reinforces a de facto split in the nation.
