Rafah no longer exists.
Israel has flattened an entire city to build a buffer zone and carve Gaza into military corridors.
This about permanent occupation and ethnic cleansing.

Rafah no longer exists. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently occupy Gaza.
Israel has completely wiped out Rafah, turning a fifth of Gaza’s territory into a giant buffer zone. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently remain in Gaza and ethnically cleanse its people.

Sudan is an extremely wealthy country in terms of resources and gold only contributes a fraction of that wealth. Money is absolutely a driving factor along with Sudan's strategic location along the Red Sea which ultimately is also connected to capitalist interests. (3/3)

And much of this technology will also be used to facilitate counterrevolutions and escalate border violence. Our collective liberation is tied to the liberation of Palestinians.
Again and again: Israel’s very raison d’etre right now is genocide-driven. The genocide is a business opportunity to sell tech and weapons to the highest bidder. The Israelis get to boast that they’ve tested those out on Palestinian bodies.

Can’t put enough emphasis on what the words “last medical facility” mean in the context of this genocide. It’s pretty simple to understand what happens when there’s no hospital available.
Fires broke out in parts of the Kamal Adwan Hospital, after the Israeli military ordered medical staff and patients to evacuate northern Gaza’s last medical facility, according to the report.
