Yeah, not that construction was any a better word when the construction industry is well and truly in the doldrums

Israeli drones dropped boxes loaded with canisters containing gasoline, wired with fuses, over the tents of displaced families in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. The occupation uses this method to ignite fires in the tents, causing severe harm to homeless civilians in a grave violation of international humanitarian law.

Here’s the woman’s story

Source: Quds News Network
Five days passed, and Salwa had not tasted food—she found nothing but hunger as a companion and abandonment as a cover. She would whisper in a faint voice: "I just want a piece of bread"… She wasn’t asking for much, only a bite to support her exhausted body. Yesterday, an unidentified woman was announced as martyred in a Zionist airstrike on Gaza, and today it became clear that it was Salwa… Salwa, the hungry woman whose moans no one heard, Salwa who stood at the edge of life asking for bread, when death struck her before mercy could reach her. Her soul rose to complain to God about the hunger of days, the cruelty of people, and the injustice of the occupier. Salwa was not a fighter, she was not chanting—she was just hungry… and today, she has become a martyr of hunger, of bombing, and of being forgotten. Source: Al Quds Palestine News

I came across an interview with this woman where she humbly said that she had gone to the hospital because she hadn’t eaten for 5 days and needed some food please

That’s her on the right, photo taken during the interview

The photo on the left is from when she was found dead a few days later
Photo on the right is of a gaunt starving Palestinian woman wearing a hijab On the left is her corpse The photos were taken a few days apart She lived alone and wasn’t able to walk 15ks to risk her life at the GHF aid/death distribution centre

I found this post on Instagram this morning. It gives an interesting perspective
Screenshot of a slide that was on Instagram. To précis it says that it’s safer to describe the genocide as a famine because famine sounds like a misfortune, it allows aid to be sent without being held accountable, whereas genocide demands accountability, you can no longer defend it or pretend that you didn’t know

Gaza being slaughtered

Cartoon by Kamal Sharaf
Gaza depicted as a hunk of flesh hung from a meat hook. Hand on right is holding a knife and carving the meat has an Israeli and a US motif on it. Left hand has Arab Oil motif and some text in Arabic

All that propaganda put out to convince you that you can go back to looking away because aid is getting in now?

If you believed it then I have a bridge to sell you

This is our government!

I really don’t understand how people can’t see this as a political issue and choose to ignore it while complaining endlessly about other things they are doing

Your government is supporting a genocide and somehow it doesn’t matter??? WTF

It’s all the same system

Wake Up
Think about how fucked up you’d need to be to starve a baby, or support someone who is doing so. Think how many millennial of evolutionary conditioning you have to override as a human being, as a primate, as a mammal, to stifle the screaming you feel inside when you see a skeletal baby

All those people who’ve finally decided that they support Palestine!

Those countries who’re now going to recognise Palestine

Those who are now working to get aid in when they’ve done nothing for 21months

Too f***ing late. Much of it Intentionally

Silence is complicity

#NZPol #Kikorangi
We have to be clear about this Israel aimed for their forced starvation policy to reach LEVEL 5 - so that even if aid is sent in, thousands would still die from malnutrition. This is what Smotrich was referring to by “thinning the population”
