The designed destruction of Gaza aggravates the predictable effects of predicted whether condition
The rain falling on Gaza is not the cause of the humanitarian catastrophe. It is exposing it. Three years of Israeli destruction have erased homes, drainage systems and essential infrastructure, forcing more than two million Palestinians into an ever-smaller area of land. Now, seasonal rainfall floods the tents in which people have been forced to seek refuge and threatens buildings already damaged by bombardment. Our spatial analysis traces this transformation, mapping the destruction of buildings alongside the expansion and changing geography of tent camps. It reveals the spatial reorganisation of Gaza through the destruction of permanent shelter and the forced displacement of its population. What is unfolding is not simply a failure to protect civilians from the elements. It is the destruction of the material conditions necessary for Palestinian life. This is inseparable from the ongoing genocide.

Colonizers and enslavers have always developed and used technologies to calculate the evaluate the lives of the colonised. My review of NAZA and the inflation in Israeli Necro-Economics from the Al Aqsa intifada to the genocide. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n20/…

The testimony of @GhassanAbuSitt1 is so valuable because he was both a direct eye witness to the genocide’s first atrocities, and an expert testimony from the pers. of medical science. In Ghassan’s hands medicine is a diagnostic tool of colonial violence and a liberation practice

Hal Haq’s Forensic Architecture unit investigated the murder of Awdah Hathaleen. Israelis might enjoy total impunity but such investigations keep a record, and the crimes of the occupation will not be forgotten and the day of account will come.
‘The Killing of Awdah Hathaleen: Beyond a Settler Crime,’ an investigation by Al-Haq’s Forensic Architecture Investigation Unit, will be released on 28 July, 2026, marking one year since Awdah was killed by an Israeli settler. #EndIsraeliImpunity

121 children killed at school in Minab on the first day of the 2026 US-Israeli war against Iran. Following calls from bereaved families and working with Sky News, we reconstructed the circumstances surrounding the airstrikes that claimed their lives. vimeo.com/1205461533/a6db7d6…
