This handout satellite picture obtained from Planet Labs PBC dated on May 23, 2025, shows an area around Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip where a new aid distribution centre run by a US-backed group has been set up
Around 2.4 percent of human beings in Gaza have been annihilated – will you do something about it or not?
Do you demand from any NGO, any government, from the UNRWA director Philippe Lazzarini, from the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to stop their unbearable whining and finally kick this fascist gang of Benyamin Netanyahu out of the United Nations?
Do you?
If not – GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Best,

Death toll across Gaza Strip surges to 54,056, over 123,129 injured

Israel’s new Gaza aid system likened to ‚concentration camps’
(last Update 26 May, 2025 10:29 AM)
Internal documents seen by The Washington Post show that biometric technology will be deployed at the hubs, handing the Israeli military power to choose who is allowed to receive aid.
There are plans to construct guarded „humanitarian transition areas“, where tens of thousands of Palestinians will be held. Planners anticipate these zones to be described as „concentration camps“ by the public, the documents show.
Five people involved in the planning expressed concern about the militarisation of aid, and the use of mercenary forces and biometrics to police civilians.
The scheme has triggered outcry among some of Israel‘s closest Western allies and humanitarian organisations, who have refused to cooperate with a plan that they say violates basic humanitarian principles.
The UN has warned that the policy has been designed to facilitate the mass displacement of Palestinians, an accusation effectively confirmed by Israeli ministers who have publicly articulated plans to drive the entire population to the south and force them out of Gaza.
Israel’s latest vision for Gaza has a name: Concentration camp
(April 1, 2025)
Connecting all these dots leads to a fairly clear conclusion: Israel is preparing to forcibly displace the entire population of Gaza — through a combination of evacuation orders and intense bombardment — into an enclosed and possibly fenced-off area. Anyone caught outside its boundaries would be killed, and buildings throughout the rest of the enclave would likely be razed to the ground.
Without mincing words, this “humanitarian zone,” as Magal so kindly put it, in which the army intends to corral Gaza’s 2 million residents, can be summed up in just two words: concentration camp. This is not hyperbole; it is simply the most precise definition to help us better understand what we are facing.

Finally, a trickle of aid has crossed over.
In recent days, almost 400 trucks were cleared for entry to Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing.
But supplies from only 115 trucks have been able to be collected.
And nothing has reached the besieged north.

But let us not forget that we are operating in the middle of a military operation.
