While the world celebrates women's day, let's talk about the tragedies women of Gaza went through:
- We saw pregnant women in Gaza give birth with no anesthesia & no hygiene.
- We saw women in Gaza using tent scraps in place of period products.
- We saw women in Gaza pulled out of the rubble of their homes.
- We saw women in Gaza rushing to the hospitals with the bodies of their children with the hope of saving them.
- We saw women in Gaza suffering miscarriages due to indiscriminate bombardment.
- We saw women in Gaza starving yet feeding their portions of food to their children.
- We saw women in Gaza coming out and communicating the trauma, horror and violence they went through.
- We saw Israeli soldiers celebrating with the lingerie of women of Gaza who were either displaced or killed by them.
Translation: "Hello guys. how are you? Today we are at Gaza's largest refugee camp located in Rafah, south of the strip. A huge number of refugees fleeing death, fear and destruction. They took refuge here, they were told it is safe to be here, although it's a fact, there is NOWHERE SAFE in Gaza.. We hope war ends soon"
from Lama Jamous, 28/Feb/2024:
The estimated death toll of Palestinians is around 200,000 at the hands of Israel. This number includes the people who have and have not been identified by the Gaza health ministry.
Abolish the Nazi state of Israel.

They don't want us to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide not because there's not been an official ruling but because these things don't get set in people's minds via official ruling. Instead it is the oral history that sets an event into place in mass consciousness.
Us calling it what it is - a genocide - means they can't wriggle out of it in years to come. They can't continue to call it a conflict or a war if we cement it in public consciousness as a genocide.
So don't tone down your language. Call it what it is. Make sure the history books know what happened and the genocides that took place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo.
This is not Gaza! This is a house in Nour Shams camp in Tulkarm in the West Bank during the Israeli occupation forces' raid on the camp today. This genocidal war is not only against the Gaza Strip, but against all the Palestinian people and all the Palestinian land.
هذه ليست غزة! هذا منزل في مخيم نور شمس في طولكرم بالضفة الغربية خلال اقتحام قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي للمخيم اليوم. حرب الإبادة الجماعية هذه ليست ضد قطاع غزة فقط، بل ضد كل الشعب الفلسطيني وكل الأرض الفلسطينية.
Ceci n'est pas à Gaza ! C'est une maison dans le camp de Nour Shams à Tulkarem en Cisjordanie lors du raid des forces d'occupation israéliennes sur le camp aujourd'hui. Cette guerre génocidaire ne vise pas seulement la bande de Gaza, mais tout le peuple palestinien et toute la terre palestinienne.
Это не Газа! Это дом в лагере Нур-Шамс в Тулькарме на Западном Берегу во время рейда израильских оккупационных сил на лагерь. Сегодня. Эта геноцидная война нацелена не только на сектор Газа, но и на весь палестинский народ и всю палестинскую землю.

There is no safe zone in Gaza
Israel’s military dropped 75,000 tonnes of explosives by April 2024. Since the invasion of Rafah in May, Palestinians have said the bombings have gotten considerably worse, most recently the strike against Al Tabin school where over 100 were killed during morning prayers
34,000 deaths is clearly an appalling undercount when watchdog groups learn about mass graves like this every week.
I’ve seen several media outlets trying to claim that the UN has ‘quietly’ halved the number of Palestinian women and children killed since October 7th. Some have gone so far as to allege that Hamas fabricated the original numbers to try and cover for the 1:1 ratio of insurgents to civilians killed.
They’ve chosen to ignore the fact that the UN published a completely separate report, comprised of individuals whose remains have been identified.
The UN has clarified that the total number of women and children killed in Gaza since October 7th remains unchanged.
