As Winter Approaches Next Phase of Gaza Genocide Looms

“But do you condemn Hamas?” – Piers Morgan

It is estimated that about 70 percent of Gaza’s 2.3 million people – more than half of whom are children – no longer have access to clean water. On November 4, Israel destroyed a water reservoir in northern Gaza as well as a public water tank.

The UN says that currently in Gaza only three litres of water a day is available per person to cover all their needs including drinking, washing, cooking and flushing the toilet. Between 50-100 litres of water each day is the recommended amount for a person to meet their basic health requirements, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Sewage flows in the streets of Gaza as all key sanitation services have ceased operating.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recorded more than 44,000 cases of diarrhoea and 70,000 acute respiratory infections, but real numbers may be significantly higher. On Friday, the UN agency said it was extremely concerned that rains and floods during the approaching winter season will make an already dire situation even worse.

On Wednesday, Israeli authorities allowed just over 23,000 litres (6,000 gallons) of fuel to be brought into the Strip via Egypt. But they restricted the use of this fuel to trucks transporting the little aid coming in. The UNRWA said it needed 160,000 litres (42,000 gallons) of fuel a day for basic humanitarian operations.  (source)

Of 36 hospitals in Gaza 28 have been destroyed, which indicates obvious targeting. The remainder have no fuel or power.

A four day pause has been announced that runs through Sunday, and the people watching on the sidelines will now witness how much unrestricted aid actually flows through Rafah. We would venture that it will be token in terms of real impact.

Winter in Gaza is problematic when you have no shelter. There is an acute shortage of warm clothing and blankets. Here we see people sleeping under the rumble, and they are lacking in footwear.

Winter Weather in Gaza

It is windy year round in Gaza. In the winter months it frequently gets up to 10 mph or even 14 mph.

Starting in mid- December and especially into January and February it gets cold in the evening and overnight.  There is a 15% of rain daily. There are several days below freezing during a typical winter. A 10 mph wind creates a further wind chill of minus 8 degrees. Then add the effect of wetness. So there will be a number of nights when already weakened people living in wrecked buildings and tents will be exposed to hypothermia.

  1. Looks like Bannon finally “got the call.” Watching Bannon daily is one of my last guilty pleasures, so I’ve seen his arc from “not one penny to Israel”, to now almost waving an Israeli flag. That said, this segment with Alan Dershowitcz is one for the ages. Not so much regarding Bannon (although I like him gaslighting that the Jews own the media), but the insane rabid melt-down that Dershowitz has…truly something to see….not sure, but he might have pooped and pissed his pants. Hold on for the whole 17 minutes, the best line is right near the end about serving in the IDF — erm, if he wasn’t so old. Also, can I get a “Judeo-Christian” count at the bottom of the screen next time Steve?

    • Awful conversation between jack asses. After Israel drops the equivalent of two Hiroshima a bombs on 2.3 million in Gaza, Dershowitz deflects this as Hamas deliberately puts babies in front of Jew bombs. Ludicrous.

      • Well, you know Russ….if we don’t kill’em there, then the US will be next!!!
        Yeah, OK Shlomo, ima gonna have to press [X] to doubt.
        Also, the last time I checked, the US Senate, House and current administration wasn’t chockablock full of Iranians, Syrians, Lebanese, et. al.

    • Thanks for the update on Bannon. I never watch, so I’m actually surprised he was ever saying “not one penny” to Israel. I though he was a Christian Zionist. Has he been calling for an end to the Federal Reserve? I know he went to CPAC a couple of years ago and seemed like he just woke up to it being a private bank and was calling for abolishing it. But I haven’t heard whether he was continuing to speak out on that. I’ll skip the Bannon/Dershowitz audio (I cannot stomach these hateful, racist, genocidal monsters). I found the audio below to be shockingly good–Chris Sky drops nuclear truth bombs about Israhell and calls out their BS propaganda tactics:

    • Yes, their racism has really been on display. They are really showing themselves to be narcissistic psychopaths. Now, I really understand why they have been expelled 109 times. I’m actually surprised it didn’t happen more often.
