As I've said humanity is still under the shadow of a dark age and we are being forced to suffer the most horrific crime of all, that of injustice. You may have noticed but I only throw out likes or comments to articles/content that I've actually read. The writing you shared about the trip to Derry was also deeply moving, a reminder of what the true human beings alive on this planet must continue to push forward: gathering, talk, protest, boycott, and divestment from the current evil power structure.

Thanks to your posts Stucky I looked up and found another local event to voice my agony against Israel's crimes this coming Monday. InshAllah I will be there with the youngest people raising consciousness toward peace, world citizenship, and international law. I know future generations will revere our efforts to not lose hope, hang on and continue doing what is right.

‘An unfolding of horrific events’ in northern Gaza
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Gaza
Devastation keeps evolving in a much more difficult, much more challenging situation for those who remain in the northern part of the Strip.
What we’re seeing is an unfolding of horrific events echoing some of the worst events happening in history. We’re seeing a systematic destruction of every means of life in the northern part of the Strip.
This includes not only residential buildings, but many public facilities, infrastructure, roads – anything that supports people’s existence in the part of the Gaza Strip being destroyed.
Attacks in the early hours of this morning hit a group of residential buildings. Close to 70 people have been killed, and again, with the exact same pattern of civilians being the target of these attacks inside their homes where they were taking shelter.
Many of them are displaced people who moved to north Gaza from other areas and ended up with their relatives, in-laws or friends who decided to host them until the aggression ends. But it doesn’t seem likely to end anytime soon.

Israeli forces strike makeshift tent in al-Mawasi, killing 2 children
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Gaza
Israeli helicopters have been expanding their attacks on al-Mawasi early this morning and overnight.
A makeshift tent has been targeted in al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, in the suburbs of the city. Medical sources in Al-Aqsa Hospital confirmed that four Palestinians were killed, including two young children. Apparently, they are all from the same family.
People who are still in al-Mawasi are expressing their deep concerns about safety because this area has been widely targeted over the past week, but the main focus of the Israeli military attacks has been on the northern part of Gaza in Beit Lahiya and the Jabalia refugee camp, which have been under relentless heavy bombardment.
Witnesses confirmed to Al Jazeera that the Israeli military has been using robots that are highly equipped with explosives to blow up residential neighbourhoods.
We saw different videos released by the Israeli army showing how they are blowing up full residential buildings in Jabalia and Beit Lahiya, creating a very destructive landscape there that prevents civilians from returning to live normally in that area.

Israeli attacks kill dozens across Gaza

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic report that an Israeli raid on a house near Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip has killed at least 17 people.
Seven others were killed and many were injured in the Israeli bombing of a house near al-Jalaa Street in west Gaza City, they said.
Medical sources told Al Jazeera that 46 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip since dawn today, 30 of them in the north.

‘Days, not weeks’ to increase food to northern Gaza: IRC

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is demanding humanitarian aid be allowed to enter northern Gaza in light of the latest findings by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification’s (IPC) Famine Review Committee, which said famine is likely “imminent” in the area.
In a statement, the IRC said the report, which was issued two weeks ago, marked a “sharp and alarming deterioration” since last month’s report, which projected a “tripling” in the number of people facing food shortages in the coming months.
“The worst-case scenario may already be underway: Across Gaza, starvation, malnutrition, and excess mortality due to malnutrition and disease are rapidly increasing. The situation is critical. We have days, not weeks, to take decisive action to alleviate these dire conditions,” the IRC said.
“The Government of Israel must fulfill its obligations to ensure that people across Gaza can access food, medical supplies and other basic necessities needed for the survival of the population. Lives are now hanging in the balance,” the statement added.

UNRWA says 109 food trucks looted after crossing into Gaza last week

All the trucks in an aid convoy have been looted after crossing into Gaza, an official from the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) tells Reuters.
Louise Wateridge, UNRWA senior emergency officer, told Reuters that the convoy, which was carrying food provided by UNRWA and the UN World Food Programme, was instructed by Israel to depart at short notice via an unfamiliar route from the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing.
The incident on Saturday resulted in the loss of 98 of the convoy’s 109 trucks, she said.
“This incident highlights the severity of access challenges of bringing aid into southern and central Gaza,” Wateridge added.
