The Gaza Strip's Ministry Of Health Has Reported The First Verified Case Of Polio Virus, Highlighting

The Gaza Strip's Ministry of Health has reported the first verified case of polio virus, highlighting the necessity for a widespread polio immunisation program. The ministry has worked with international organisations and the UNRWA to create a comprehensive plan. The program will target children under the age of ten, with one million and two hundred thousand doses distributed in collaboration with UNICEF. The ministry asks foreign organisations to act promptly to cease Israeli aggression and provide immediate medical assistance. It also advocates for the reconstruction of safe drinking water and sanitation systems, the proper disposal of medical waste, and unrestricted access to medical supplies.

Just in the past two days alone, over 100,000 Palestinians have been displaced from Deir al-Balah (source).

One hundred thousand. Since August 22 only.

Do you understand what this means or do you need a visual with a 100,000 dots each representing a human being that is being made to flee on foot to literally nowhere in the scorching heat?

‘Raped by female soldiers’: Palestinian in leaked Sde Teiman photo speaks out

The man in the famous photo, Ibrahim Salem, spent eight months in Israeli detention, where rape, electrocution and beatings were routine

small horror i am today thinking about: palestinian detainee testifying that israeli soldiers were filming them on camera while torturing them (including rape)—one heard the soldier recording mention it was for ben gvir. unclear if they were directly livestreaming for him, under instructions to film from him, or were taking videos to show him later. but what a country. i can't think of a single dictatorship where the top brass was so openly implicated in crimes against humanity. they usually pretend that stuff isn't happening
