If you’re not writing the truth about crimes against humanity, you’re culpable in them. 
 
... “Evictions” makes it sound like they didn’t pay their rent. An indigenous population is being forced out of their homes, off their land, brutalized by security forces & threatened with violence. Call it what it is. #Palestine

 ‘Bloodshed was supposed to stop’: no sign of normal life as Gaza’s killing and misery grind on

 Sat 6 Dec 2025

The term ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion life is returning to normal’ for Palestinians squeezed into the remaining 42% of their land behind Israel’s ‘yellow line’

When Jumaa and Fadi Abu Assi went to look for firewood their parents thought they would be safe. They were just young boys, aged nine and 10 and, after all, a ceasefire had been declared in Gaza.

Their mother, Hala Abu Assi, was making tea in the family’s tent in Khan Younis when she heard an explosion, a missile fired by an Israeli drone. She ran to the scene – but it was too late.

Since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced on 10 October, Israeli forces have killed more than 360 Palestinians in Gaza; according to a UN official, at least 70 are children – like Jumaa and Fadi.

They were killed, their mother said, at “a time when bloodshed was supposed to stop”.

“After the ceasefire was announced, I felt a bit of safety and believed that nothing would harm my children any more,” Abu Assi said. “But fate had another plan.”

She is focused now on keeping her two surviving daughters alive. “I still hear explosions and gunfire,” she said. “I do not feel that the war has ended.”

The toll from Israeli attacks in Gaza has fallen significantly compared with the preceding two years of war, when on average 90 Palestinians were killed each day, but significant numbers of civilians are still losing their lives.

On average, Israeli weapons now kill seven people a day. That rate of violent death would be considered an active conflict in many other contexts, raising questions about how accurately “ceasefire” describes the new status quo.

“It’s something that if you want to you can call a ceasefire, which is very convenient for the Americans and for everyone who wants this off their television screens and off their streets and off their annoying parliamentary and political schedules,” said Daniel Levy, a former Israeli negotiator and the president of the US/Middle East Project....READ MORE   https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2025/dec/06/bloodshed-was-supposed-to-stop-no-sign-of-normal-life-as-gazas-killing-and-misery-grind-on

Every day, across the region, #UNRWAworks to make a difference.... The plight of Palestine Refugees remains the longest unresolved refgee crisis in the world

Dismantling UNRWA will not address the refugee status of Palestinians. A political solution will. Investing in peace is the answer to end what was meant to be a temporary situation.” – @‌UNLazzarini

“Nearly 42,000 people in #Gaza have life-changing injuries because of the war, according to @‌WHO. One in four is a child. 
 
Gaza now hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history. 
 
With the collapse of the medical system during the war, those with serious injuries struggle to get the treatment + rehabilitation they need to rebuild their lives. 
 
UNRWA teams together with WHO & partners are sparing no efforts to make sure they are not left behind. 
 
Since the war began, they have provided essential psychosocial support to more than 30,000 persons with disabilities, with over 8,000 of them receiving assistive devices + rehabilitation services.

"I experienced hunger, I experienced bombing and shelling, and I have experienced exile and loss because I am Palestinian, because I am from Gaza, all I did was I was born in Gaza. Gaza is a small place that is very beautiful, it has a lovely sea, and lovely weather, not like the weather here. There is sun, and no wind. I am here today to tell you how Gaza is beautiful and how people there are very nice, and all the children love to play and they love to go to school and they love to be children like other children. I am here to tell you about Palestine, our culture, our traditions, and that we love life, we don’t like destruction and that we don’t deserve what we have lived through and continue to live through.”" Renad from Gaza

This is part of my speech:

“Today, I am here without my family, without my mum, not in my home country. The only thing I have is my voice and this is the only reason why my mother allowed e to leave, when we got the opportunity to leave Gaza, she let me leave because she knew my voice will be the voice of people living in Gaza who are without food, without water, without shelter, and who are now living in tents in the piercing cold.

I experienced hunger, I experienced bombing and shelling, and I have experienced exile and loss because I am Palestinian, because I am from Gaza, all I did was I was born in Gaza.

Gaza is a small place that is very beautiful, it has a lovely sea, and lovely weather, not like the weather here. There is sun, and no wind. I am here today to tell you how Gaza is beautiful and how people there are very nice, and all the children love to play and they love to go to school and they love to be children like other children.

Gaza has become the place with the largest populations of child amputees in modern history [BECAUSE of ISRAELI VIOLENCE & ZIONIST CRUELTY !]

Hundreds of thousands of [PALESTINIAN] homes [IN GAZA] have been destroyed or severely damaged [BY ISRAEL], leaving [PALESTINIAN] families exposed to winter storms. Fragile tents collapse under rain and wind, while Israel’s genocide continues and the destruction of [PALESTINIAN] homes goes on

Euro-Med Monitor

After the ceasefire, why can’t most Gazans return home? 
 
Around two months into the ceasefire agreement, the majority remain displaced. 
 
Hundreds of thousands of homes have been destroyed or severely damaged, leaving families exposed to winter storms. 
 
Fragile tents collapse under rain and wind, while #Israel’s genocide continues and the destruction of homes goes on

Palestine Refugees remain refugees because of the absence of a political solution. They are no exception. Other refugees across the world have also been waiting decades for a lasting political solution to their plight. Dismantling UNRWA will not address the refugee status of Palestinians. A political solution will. Investing in peace is the answer to end what was meant to be a temporary situation.” – @‌UNLazzarini
