Journalist Hossam Shabat reports on weather conditions in Gaza. He writes
Today, temperatures in Gaza reached 37°C (100°F), with most residents living in tents where the temperature is even higher. People lack fans, air conditioning, or access to drinkable water.
This heatwave is expected to increase the risk of heatstroke among the already malnourished and dehydrated population in northern Gaza.

we NEED to keep talking about Palestine. we NEED to keep talking about the death and famine in Gaza. we NEED to keep talking about the war crimes the IOF is committing and shamelessly flaunting online right in front of us. Why aren't there any tags regarding this on the trending tags page anymore?
I am so ashamed we can all sit comfortably in our homes and enjoy our fandoms while nearly almost 30,000 Palestinians, 29,692 human lives, have been mercilessly slaughtered and starved out, and thats only since October 7th to this day. The injured count lies almost around 69,879.
In the past 24 hours, at least 86 people were killed, and around 131 others are left injured.
These are not just numbers. They are REAL people who just had their whole lives violently torn apart in just a day. Entire family lines massacred and wiped out in just a day.
UNRWA says the last time it was able to deliver food to northern Gaza was January 23rd.
January 23rd.
That is well over a month by now, and people are starving. People are using donkey fodder to keep themselves going. They have so much hope and determination, but the world is still failing them.
Keep the discussion open. Keep reblogging and tagging updates on Palestine. Keep doing your daily clicks, and donate somewhere if you financially can. Keep striking. Keep sharing the atrocities committed by the I"D"F and its supporters (our own complicit countries) so the innocent people of Palestine aren't swept under the rug like the rubble that burries their martyred mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and children. I am painfully reminded of my own people lying in unmarked graves somewhere forgotten and hidden away, the horrors of residential schools shared to me by my poor grandmother and Canada's continued silence. And that pales in comparison to the mangled bodies piling up in Gaza before our very eyes.
This is genocide.
This is not a trend, this is real life. They are still dying, starving, mourning, and petrified. Never forget the genocide the IOF is carrying out for the whole world to see. Never stop talking about it long after Palestine is free.
From the river to the sea, Palestine WILL be free. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Prince Kouta is in north Gaza. People are starving to death!
Tumblr media
Today, you will never believe what we are living or going through! Today I saw couple trucks with flour wnter the North! The first time in so many days! People saw it as if it was GOLD, they fought and fought and fought for it! People turned into monsters, people turned into mafias, I saw people get shot, get stabbed with knifes, get stabbed with a screw driver, people getting stepped on, people's faces full of mud on the floor holding a bag of flour like it was his child! These scenes today were people fighting to get food! They were bloody fighting to get some flour to make bread! Imagine, the bag of 25 kilos is 700-800 (200usd) shekels now! In Canada I never found our house without bread or fought to eat! In Gaza starvation has killed so many people! The scenes today really saddens me to see people fight just to eat! Read it again! Just to eat! Just to feed their kids!

His legs...I just can't. What's even crazier are these countries bragging about air dropping food in Gaza like they didn't let (still are letting) these people starve for WEEKS.

Famine Imminent In North Gaza By May, Urgent Intervention Needed: UN
The Situation is Particularly Dire in the North of Gaza Where There are About 300,000 People, the UN Says
- TRT World | Monday March 18, 2024

Half of Gaza residents are experiencing "catastrophic" hunger, with famine projected to hit the north of the territory by May without urgent intervention, a United Nations-backed food security assessment has warned.
"People in Gaza are starving to death right now. The speed at which this man-made hunger and malnutrition crisis has ripped through Gaza is terrifying," the head of the UN's World Food Programme (WFP) Cindy McCain said.
"To have 50 percent of an entire population in catastrophic, near-famine levels, is unprecedented," Beth Bechdol, the deputy director general of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), told AFP.
This amounts to around 1.1 million people "struggling with catastrophic hunger and starvation", according to the WFP.
It added: "This is the highest number of people ever recorded as facing catastrophic hunger" under the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) partnership, which published its latest report on Monday.
Aid charity Oxfam on Monday accused Israel of continuing to "systematically and deliberately block and undermine" the delivery of aid into Gaza, in violation of international humanitarian law.
The IPC system, conducted by the UN and aid agencies, is used by the UN or governments in deciding whether or not to officially declare a famine.
"Famine is imminent in the northern governorates and projected to occur anytime between mid-March and May 2024," the IPC report said of Gaza.
"All evidence points towards a major acceleration of deaths and malnutrition. Waiting for a retrospective famine classification before acting is indefensible," it said.

'Wasted' Children
A famine is declared when 20 percent of households face an extreme food shortage - which is the case in Gaza, the UN says - one in three children are acutely malnourished, and at least two in every 10,000 people die every day of starvation or malnutrition.
Children in Gaza face "extremely critical health conditions ... exposing them to high-risk nutritional deterioration", the IPC report said.
According to the WFP, "one in three children below the age of two is now acutely malnourished, or 'wasted'.
"This means they are dangerously thin for their height, which puts them at risk of death."
Arif Husain, WFP's chief economist, warned the final criteria for declaring a famine - the mortality rate - would "happen any time from now until the end of May".
FAO's Bechdol said that challenges of data collection and analysis meant it was "possible that famine is already occurring in the north".
Gaza residents were "turning to alternative sources" for food, including animal feed and "inedible items, purely out of desperation", she told AFP.
Tumblr media
Donors have turned to deliveries by air or sea, but air and sea missions are no alternative to land deliveries, UN agencies say.
WFP said meeting basic food needs would require at least 300 trucks to enter Gaza every day and distribute food, especially in the north.
The agency has only managed to get nine convoys into the north since the start of the year, it said.
The latest of these, on Sunday night, involved 18 truckloads of food supplies delivered to Gaza.
"The convoy, the second to use a coordinated route into Gaza and the north, delivered some 274 metric tonnes of wheat flour, food parcels and ready-to-eat rations.
"This route needs to be made available for daily convoys and safe access to the north," it said.
The Rome-based agency said it needed Israel to "provide more entry points into Gaza" and allow use of the Ashdod port to bring in food aid.
The WFP's Husain said: "Our hope is we can still avert a full-fledged famine."
"But the window is shutting and it is shutting very, very fast".

🥲 … March 14, 2024 — “The Xionist gang repeat the same crime, in the same place as hungry citizens away the arrival of flour — as famine continues in Gaza.
What is the world waiting for? Do you know that thee are thousands of children, women, men and elderly all suffering from diseases due to malnutrition and lack of food?” … 🥲

Photographer Mohamed Yasin reports that careless delivery of airdropped “aid” resulted in all of it being dropped into the ocean. Hundreds of starving Gazans are trying to swim out and carry back some food for their families.

UPDATE: NORTH GAZA!
Because of the dire situation and famine in North Gaza, our friend Hussam from Rafah decided to keep helping by directing 20% of all donation (starting March 11) to Mahmoud AbuSalama and his team in the North who were able to buy all what you see in his video above. So far, he received $5000 since Ramadan started.
Both Hussam and Mahmoud are so grateful and humbled by your continuous support which is helping so many families in the North and the South. Let's keep up the pace everybody!
Please note that Ramadan target of $50k started the first day of Ramadan on March 11 and the first $100k was donated and spent throughout the couple months before Ramadan.

Lama and the children of Gaza holding a protest against the child martyring famine caused by the occupation.

Ramadan is getting near, it's in 5 days... we hope it does not come.. i know this is wrong for me to say.. but this is how we talk right now, children are dying of hunger in the North of Gaza, what did they do to deserve this??
