Displaced Palestinians’ tents in Khan Yunis drown in water due to a sea tide. [Original post] With the shrinkage of Gaza’s safe zones into thin costal lines, displaced Palestinians’ tents in Khan Yunis drown in water due to a sea tide. [Tags: Forced Displacement, Blocking Aid, Tent City, Living conditions, Shelters, Appeals] [Found by: Times of Gaza] [Location: Gaza > Khan Younis > Rafah > Al-Mawasi > Southern Gaza > Central Gaza] [Archivist Notes] Since September 14 Forcibly displaced Palestinians living in tents along the coast of central Gaza and south Gaza clear were flooded during a high tide. Gaza's Government Media Office statement : On September 14, Gaza's Government Media Office issued an urgent call for humanitarian protection of the two million displaced Palestinians in Gaza ahead of winter. 543 displacement centers have been set up in Gaza due to the war and forced displacement, which the Media Office calls a violation of international humanitarian law. 74% of the tents used by displaced Palestinians are now unsuitable, with 100,000 out of 135,000 needing replacement due to severe damage. The tents, made from wood, nylon, and fabric, have deteriorated due to extreme weather conditions, especially after 11 months of continuous displacement. Israeli forces have blocked the entry of at least a quarter-million tents into Gaza, leaving refugees without proper shelter for the upcoming winter. The Media Office held Israel and the U.S. fully accountable for Gaza’s dire situation, calling on Egypt, as well as Arab and Islamic nations, to urgently provide tents and aid. 100,000 out of 135,0000 tents sheltering 1.9 million displaced people are damaged. Government Media Office in Gaza: "74% of the tents sheltering 2 million displaced people in the Strip have deteriorated, gone out of service, and become unfit for use. We warn of a humanitarian catastrophe with the onset of winter." source The first incidents and casualties "The rainy season hasn't even started yet,but just five minutes of rain has already flooded us.” Tents belonging to displaced Palestinian families in the al-Zawayda refugee camp in central Gaza were flooded & sustained water damage after heavy rain on Mon. On September 16, Mayor of Deir al-Balah claims to Al Arabiya TV: Sea waves threaten 250,000 citizens who set up their tents along the beach. Civil defense crews transferred a number of drowning people in the sea of Rafah city, where ambulance crews dealt with two drowning cases and transferred them to the Red Cross Hospital, in Mawasi. Dozens of tents for displaced people were submerged along the beaches of Khan Yunis and Central Gaza due to rising waves worsening the the dire conditions caused by #Israel’s continued attacks in the region. Families faced flooding in their temporary makeshift tents, with some having to move to higher ground to avoid the water. The situation remains dangerous, as they are now exposed to both the dangers of the sea and the ongoing occupation and massacres. Setember 15 : The tents of the displaced people were flooded on the shore of Al-Qarara port, west of Khan Yunis, after the sea waves rose last night, as winter approaches. September 16 : Dozens of makeshift tents housing displaced Palestinians in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, are inundated by rising seawater, worsening the the dire conditions caused by srael’s continued attacks in the region Important warning from Civil Defense in Gaza (September 19) "We warn citizens & displaced persons on the beach of the city of Mawasi, Khan Younis, and the central beach of the dangers of the high sea tide expected from now on, which may cause tents to be swept away". On November 24, tents flooded again Testimony of @ezzingaza, Dr. Ezzideen "Today was one of the coldest days of the year. The bitter wind tore through the streets, carrying with it the chill of the sea. For those living in tents, the day brought more than just cold, it brought devastation. The rising sea flooded the camps, drenching their fragile shelters and leaving families with nowhere dry to escape the icy waters. (...) My thoughts were with my friends and relatives living in tents, battling not only the cold but the floodwaters. How are they surviving this? How do they keep their children warm as seawater soaks through their meager belongings? Did the winds tear their shelters apart? Or worse, did the water swallow what little they had left? What do fathers tell their children on nights like this? What words can they find to soothe their shivering families? Do the world’s leaders know? Do they care? Are these families even a fleeting thought on their minds? Or have they become invisible, forgotten in a world too busy to notice their pain? The cold outside was harsh, but the indifference of the world felt harsher. How many more storms must they endure before someone listens? How many more tents must sink into the flood before the world wakes up? When will their cries reach the ears of those who can bring change?" On November 25 : Winds Uproot Displaced Families’ Tents on Khan Younis Beach According to @Mahmoud_Bassam8 : Strong winds on Khan Younis beach, south of Gaza Strip, have uprooted the tents of displaced families, exacerbating their suffering under harsh humanitarian conditions. These families, who fled the bombings seeking refuge on the beach, now face the winter cold without shelter, amidst a lack of essential aid to meet their basic needs. On December 30 : tents and shelters were flooded by rainwater Gaza’s civil defence says it received hundreds of distress calls from displaced people whose tents and shelters were flooded by rainwater. Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Monday that “bitter cold and frost” hitting “dilapidated tents” in the strip’s camps had killed seven people, including 6 infants and an adult healthcare worker. Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudari said: “You can’t imagine the situation right now. We are all freezing and shaking due to the very cold weather. … Especially those who are in al-Mawasi very close to the beach are suffering from the cold.” 31 December Hamas statement The Hamas has asked for *“relief supplies and tents to protect hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians from the cold and the disastrous effects” of Israel’s attacks on the enclave.(...) “The humanitarian and legal duty of the international community and the UN requires urgent action to provide relief to our people in the Gaza Strip, who have been subjected to a Zionist crime of genocide and ethnic cleansing.” * Israel continues to strictly restrict the entry of aid into the enclave, including winter supplies.

It is terminally ill, and our task is to disconnect it from life support, the sooner, the better. We share footage reported for 1st time and reveal the soldiers who blew up the university [Tags: Schools, Schools, Caterpillar D9, Explosives, Bombs, Bulldozer, Heritage and culture, Cultural Cleansing, Educide, Palestinian art & culture] [Found by: Younis Tirawi] [Location: Gaza > Al Azhar University] [Archivist Notes] The Israeli forces have systematically caused severe destruction to Gaza's education sector, with many universities either destroyed or repurposed as shelters for displaced families. This will have long-lasting effects on Gaza's 90,000 students and the region's educational future. Below are the universities affected: 1. Islamic University of Gaza Founded in 1978, over 17,000 students as of 2023 Destruction : Destroyed on 10 October ; accused by Israel of producing weapons without any evidence. Previously hit in 2008-2009 and 2014. Major Asaf Fred, who was later in Rafah & a commander in IDF’s 460 Brigade, admits to the destruction of IUG university in Gaza, a court & Rimal neighborhood without any military objectives . He also called for the destruction of Amalekite cities + “‘no good arabs” On December 19 he posts a long Genocidal justification. Excerpt : “Yes, this is how you destroy an enemy: Not only by killing its soldiers but also by destroying its symbols…..The destruction of the enemy's national symbols is a clear declaration that the games are over, and we want to win." On March 1, he shares a satellite imagery of Younis: “Amazing! This is how it should be done to all the Amalekite cities. (Khan Yunis, during the IDF maneuver)” In November 5, 2024, some remaining buildings of this University were used as military base by Israeli troops. "My alma mater @IUGAZA med school is now a military point in the middle of Gaza. This IOF soldier is bragging about intentionally causing a delay in the start of the academic year because of occupying it and destroying its teaching hospital!" writes on X @OsaidesserMD Palestinian Academic global surgeon 2.Al-Azhar University Founded in 1991 during the First Intifada, 17,000 students and 12 faculties at its peak. Destruction: Bombed by aistrikes on 6 November , heavily damaging the campus. And blowed up on December 7. "On Shabbat, we loaded the mines, and I signed off on the shipment with a modification due to the sanctity of Shabbat,” First Master Sergeant David Zoldan, the operational officer of Company A of Israel’s 749 Battalion wrote in a Facebook post on December 20. “A few days later, we assembled them and booby-trapped one of Gaza’s symbols of the future—Al-Azhar University in the northern part of the strip—and blew it up.” December 2023: Company A of the 749 Battalion was tasked with rigging up the south Gaza City campus of Al-Azhar University with explosives and detonating them, reducing Gaza’s second-largest university to rubble. On the footage, we can heard soldiers said "Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined” when they watch the powerful explosion. The mining and detonation of the University was released on his Social netework by the IDF soldiers of the 749 Combat Engineering Corps invluding : David Zolden, Operational Officer Arthur Davidov Rafael Ben Ishay Maya Radoszkowicz Arik Tedler Amit Yagodeev Saar Hirshoren Natvie Korkus Yossi Nahari Roman Dyachenko Daniel Bedoya Yehuda Efraim Nathan Emergui Eli Biton Amit Viner Rony Ifrach Omri Felous Royi Wickes Netanel Levine Yahav Hoffmann Yahav Abr Dor Osher Adib In the following picture, Liad Ohayon, of Moroccan origin, serving in the Givati Brigade's Shaked Battalion celebrated the completion of their military service on the Al-Azhar University campus, which had been used as a military base and was subsequently detonated upon their withdrawal.

Occupation : Turned into military barracks Destruction : bombed on 15 November 3. Al-Israa University Founded in 2014 (Gaza's youngest university) Occupation : Its main building was occupied for 70 days by Israeli soldiers and Destruction 17 January 2024 by a massive Blowing up (355 explosives) During a press conference on Thursday, a U.S. State Department Spokesperson was asked if Israa University was a legitimate target. To this, spokesperson Matthew Miller said, “I don’t have independent information to verify that. But I can say that we continue to urge Israel to avoid damage to critical infrastructure – that would, of course, include universities – and to ensure the protection of humanitarian and medical sites.” According to Itai Blumenthal (2024, 08:14 on March 11), it seems that the Brigadier General Hiram authorized the demolition of the Al Asraa University building in the south of Gaza City on the grounds that tunnels were dug under the building where terrorists were hiding. Since it is a sensitive building, Brigadier General Hiram was supposed to get permission in advance from the commander of the Southern Command. Two months later, the commander of the Southern Command recorded the "note" to the commander of Division 99 with the approval of Chief of Staff Halevi. 4. Palestine Technical College Founded in 1993 in Deir el-Balah, 1,800 students Now a shelter for displaced Palestinians. 5.

Eight people were injured in a drone bombing targeting the University College of Applied Sciences, which houses displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Yunis Source Letter from Palestinian Universities to students and faculty in Gaza Solidarity Encampments in US academic institutions This letter was released the 1st May 2024. "In a moment of great darkness, your protests erupt and give hope for humanity that justice is not an abstract concept but a continuous struggle that connects us all. Your values are emancipating the university from structural racism and complicity with power and colonialism. The situation in Palestine has reached increased genocidal levels, marked by the mass targeting of Palestinian life by killing and displacement; the destroying of social, cultural, and all educational institutions; and the aim to reduce Palestinians to bare life with no political and collective future. You are leaders in the call for justice with your bodies on your university campuses and in the streets, speaking truth and justice loud and clear. You stand for the courage that is needed to take action strongly for justice and freedom and determinedly against systems of genocide and racism. We know the risks you are taking in face of the repressive measures that are taken against university spaces built on challenging the powers benefitting from silence. At a time when the voices of the oppressed are intentionally silenced, your solidarity serves as a beacon of hope. Your actions are a resounding message that injustice and oppression will not be tolerated. We draw inspiration from the courage of those who refuse and resist the continuing injustices of settler colonialism and military occupation. We welcome you at our universities in a liberated Palestine.

The bitter wind tore through the streets, carrying with it the chill of the sea. For those living in tents, the day brought more than just cold, it brought devastation. The rising sea flooded the camps, drenching their fragile shelters and leaving families with nowhere dry to escape the icy waters. (...) My thoughts were with my friends and relatives living in tents, battling not only the cold but the floodwaters. How are they surviving this? How do they keep their children warm as seawater soaks through their meager belongings? Did the winds tear their shelters apart? Or worse, did the water swallow what little they had left? What do fathers tell their children on nights like this? What words can they find to soothe their shivering families? Do the world’s leaders know? Do they care? Are these families even a fleeting thought on their minds? Or have they become invisible, forgotten in a world too busy to notice their pain? The cold outside was harsh, but the indifference of the world felt harsher. How many more storms must they endure before someone listens? How many more tents must sink into the flood before the world wakes up? When will their cries reach the ears of those who can bring change?"

“Polio vaccination campaign "The known causes are malnutrition, the imposed blockade and the ongoing war on Gaza.” [Original post] “The known causes are malnutrition, the imposed blockade and the ongoing war on Gaza.” Children at a vaccination centre in Gaza City are receiving polio vaccines as part of a large-scale effort to immunise at least 90 percent of children under the age of 10. [Tags: Hospitals, Water, Blocking Aid, Local Governance, Sanitation, Water, Epidemic, Infrastructure, Healthcare System] [Found by: Middle East Eye] [Location: Gaza > North Gaza > Southern Gaza > Central Gaza] [Archivist Notes] Context Polio is highly contagious and transmits mainly through contact with contaminated feces, water or food. It can cause difficulty breathing and irreversible paralysis, usually in the legs. It strikes young children in particular and is sometimes fatal. Health crisis: Diseases like polio, hepatitis A, meningitis, and impetigo are spreading due to poor hygiene and destroyed infrastructure, with hospitals overwhelmed and many deaths reported, especially among children. Lack of hygiene supplies : Basic supplies like soap are unavailable for months, contributing to widespread illness. Humanitarian organizations struggle to provide essentials due to movement restrictions and limited aid deliveries. Chronology June 19 : Gaza’s Ministry of Health said it had detected “component poliovirus type 2” in coordination with UNICEF, the United Nations children’s agency June 21 : The Israeli army begins to vaccinate against polio all soldiers operating in Gaza or due to enter there soon , after a high concentration of the virus was found in sewage in Gaza. source End of July : The World Health Organization is “extremely worried” about the possibility of an outbreak of the highly infectious polio virus in Gaza after traces were found in wastewater. Immunisation rates in Gaza and the occupied West Bank were optimal before the conflict. Polio vaccine coverage was estimated at 99% in 2022, although it had declined to 89% last year, according to the latest data. the “decimation” of Gaza health system" - with only 16 out of the territory's 36 hospitals partially functional - as well as the "lack of security, access obstruction, constant population displacement, shortages of medical supplies, poor quality of water and weakened sanitation" have contributed to reduce immunisation rates and increase the risk of diseases spreading. First case at the end of July : According to the WHO, a 10-month-old baby had been paralysed by the type-2 strand of the virus - the first case in Gaza in 25 years. Augustus 29 : Israel and Hamas have agreed to brief ceasefires in parts of Gaza to allow the safe distribution of the polio vaccine, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). These pauses will begin Sunday and occur in three phases: central Gaza first, then the south, and finally the north. Each pause will last three days, from 6am to 3pm, and may extend to a fourth day if necessary. Vaccination Campaign planning The WHO and partners are launching a campaign to vaccinate 640,000 children in Gaza against polio, despite the ongoing war and damaged healthcare system. Timeline by Phased Approach : A three-day campaign will start Sunday in central Gaza during a "humanitarian pause" from 6am to 3pm, with potential extensions. It will later move to southern and northern Gaza during similar pauses. Campaign Duration and Goals : The campaign will last three days in each zone, with a potential fourth day if needed. The goal is to vaccinate over 640,000 children under 10 across Gaza in two rounds, with the second dose administered in four weeks. Vaccination Sites : Around 160 sites, including medical centers, hospitals, and schools, are designated for vaccinations, mainly in Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah. Challenges : Significant obstacles include damaged infrastructure—65% of roads are affected and 19 of 36 hospitals are out of service. Security concerns have also halted aid group movements.The campaign is described as a "massive effort" involving thousands of workers, with significant planning and preparation. Health Worker Involvement : Over 2,180 health and community outreach workers are involved, working through 392 fixed points and almost 300 mobile teams. September 8 Director of field hospitals in Gaza Strip, Dr. Marwan Al-Hamas : The Ministry of Health decides to extend the polio vaccination campaign for an additional day in order to reach the largest number of children under the age of ten. source Progress of Emergency Polio Vaccination Campaign: Phase I: The campaign began on 1 September in central Gaza, reaching nearly 87,000 children on the first day Humanitarian Pauses : Area-specific pauses in fighting have allowed the vaccination efforts to proceed. These pauses are critical for ensuring safe access to health facilities for children and outreach workers. It was already broken in several places. Some incidents happens in Central Gaza Strip during the first days of the campaign. source Following the completion of the first phase of the polio vaccination campaign yesterday, conducted in areas with temporary ceasefire pauses, Palestinians are questioning when the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip will end. " Right now, you are vaccinating our children against polio, a simple virus. But every day they are killing them. In just a few hours, the truce will end, and the shelling and killing of children will resume" Huda Al-Sheikh: A mother from Gaza from Telegram: QudsNEN Phase II : There is difficulty in transporting the vaccine because there is no fuel. " A medical worker speaks to Quds Feed about the process of vaccinating children in the southern Gaza Strip" Source Phase III : Islam Bader is reporting here that the campaign was supposed to start on Monday in North Gaza but people have been informed that it'll be delayed until Tuesday because the vaccines have not entered yet (thanks IDF) and that medical delegations are being completely blocked from entering. starting 4:03 in the following Source Falafel stall massacre ▪ On September 10, in the Morning, the Israeli army bombed a popular food “basta” in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, killing 6 and injured several Palestinians, in the east of Gaza City is only a few dozen or hundreds of meters from the “Asaad Al-Saftawi”, “Jaffa” and “Al-Tuffah” schools, which have been identified as safe vaccination centers in the Al-Tuffah and Al-Daraj neighborhoods. Following Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, by this attack, “Israel seriously undermines polio vaccination campaign in Gaza". Incident at the North Gaza border On September 9 at 8:00 PM , the Israeli army stopped a UN and WHO convoy in northern Gaza, loaded with medicine and fuel, as it entered the Gaza Strip to interrogate Palestinian "suspects." Source Rumours are spreading simultaneously on X on all Zionist accounts , alleging that the Israeli army stopped a UN car participating in the anti-polio campaign because an activist/terrorist was among them. UN statement around 9:00 PM: "We are aware of an incident involving UN personnel and vehicles in northern Gaza, and the priority is the safety of our personnel."** Source UNRWA statement (Philippe Lazzarini) around "The Israeli Army stopped a UN convoy on its way to northern #Gaza for more than eight hours today (Monday) despite prior detailed coordination. The convoy had both national & international staff traveling to roll out the #polio vaccination campaign for children in Gaza city and northern Gaza. The convoy was stopped at gun point just after the Wadi Gaza checkpoint with threats to detain UN staff. Heavy damage was caused by bulldozers to the UN armoured vehicles. All staff & convoy are now released & back safely in the UN base. We are not able to confirm whether the polio campaign will take place tomorrow, (Tuesday) in northern Gaza. This significant incident is the latest in a series of violations against UN staff including shootings at convoys & arrests by the Israeli Armed Forces at checkpoints despite prior notification. UN Staff must be allowed to undertake their duties in safety + be protected at all times in accordance with international humanitarian law. Gaza is no different." Source Dr. Munir Al-Barash, Director General of the Ministry of Health : The occupation is obstructing the entry of the convoy of medicines and polio vaccinations, which leads to the failure to start the vaccination campaign in northern Gaza. Source Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor : The occupation army’s arrest of a UN mission yesterday and interrogation of its members as they moved from the southern Gaza Strip to the north clearly demonstrates its intention to disrupt humanitarian and relief efforts. Cynical context of this humanitarian campaign Gazans feel like they are part of a "dark game," constantly moving to avoid bombings while still facing risks. Pauses for polio vaccination are set in specific areas, with both stationary and mobile points available for people to get the vaccine, but accessing them is very difficult. There is skepticism among medical staff about the success of the vaccination campaign, with some believing Israel is using it as a smokescreen to claim it allows humanitarian aid, while larger issues remain unaddressed. Humanitarian aid is barely reaching Gaza, with significantly diminished levels of assistance and a growing number of people in need. Aid organizations face numerous obstacles, such as not being allowed to move essential supplies (e.g., vegetables, hygiene kits) between different parts of Gaza despite severe shortages. Conditions in Gaza are described as inhumane, with people barely surviving. "Now, in the north of Gaza, there is no vegetables on the commercial market, but, ironically, hygiene kits are getting in to the north. What we are not permitted to do is move vegetables from the south to the north, where they’re needed, or hygiene kits from the north to the south. And this is just one sort of example of the various different hurdles and obstacles that are deliberately being placed (by Israel) in our way." Arwa Damon, an American journalist and humanitarian who covered the Middle East and other regions.

Israeli settlers cut down and burned dozens of palestinian olive trees in Burin [Original post] [1] At around 6 am this morning, five masked settlers equipped with saws arrived from the direction of the Yitzhar Yeshiva (the buildings under renovation) to an olive grove owned by a Palestinian farmer from Burin, where they cut down and burned dozens of trees. >> [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: Yesh Din] [Location: West Bank > Burin] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters. On November 7 dozens of soldiers and police officers from the Border Police prevent harvesting in olive groves, in Um Nir, near Susya, Masafer Yatta.

Since the start of the Olive Harvest, attacks have been non-stop and increasing, while soldiers watch and protect the settlers and facilitate the attacks. In the middle of the night settlers snuck into olive groves in Burin , near Nablus, and stole their equipment. An armed Israeli settler in IDF uniform threatens Palestinians after storming their land during olive picking in the village of Ramin , Tulkarm, West Bank. On october 17 : Hanan Abdel Rahman Abu Salama, 59, was killed by Israeli fire as she was picking olives near the security barrier in the West Bank village of Faqoua near Jenin , on October 17, 2024.

Faqoua village councilor Munir Barakat told AFP that “an Israeli in military clothing arrived at the place in a white car and fired about 10 bullets at the Abu Salama family, who were picking olives on their land". Local sources reported that the colonists attacked citizens while they were attending their lands and picking olives in the village of Rojib , sprayed them with pepper gas, and forced them to leave. In a related context, an Israeli colonist also attacked a citizen while he was picking olives in the village of Madama, south of Nablus , preventing him from completing his work, and forcing him to leave his land. Qusra , Israeli settlers further forced citizens to leave the olive fields, and seized a vehicle used to transport them and transport the olives after the harvest.

On September 12 : Settlers from the Rehelim area set fire to olive trees and agricultural equipment in the village of Yatma. The fires are still burning. UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

Third day of the national polio vaccination campaign in the North Gaza governorates [Original post] On the third day of the national #polio vaccination campaign in the #Gaza and North Gaza governorates, teams from the Palestine Red Crescent Society continue vaccinating children under the age of ten at the PRCS’s medical points in both areas. 📷Filmed by: PRCS volunteer, Yousef Khader [Tags: Hospitals, Water, Blocking Aid, Local Governance, Sanitation, Water, Epidemic, Infrastructure, Healthcare System] [Found by: PCRS] [Location: Gaza > North Gaza > Southern Gaza > Central Gaza] [Archivist Notes] Context Polio is highly contagious and transmits mainly through contact with contaminated feces, water or food. It can cause difficulty breathing and irreversible paralysis, usually in the legs. It strikes young children in particular and is sometimes fatal. Health crisis: Diseases like polio, hepatitis A, meningitis, and impetigo are spreading due to poor hygiene and destroyed infrastructure, with hospitals overwhelmed and many deaths reported, especially among children. Lack of hygiene supplies : Basic supplies like soap are unavailable for months, contributing to widespread illness. Humanitarian organizations struggle to provide essentials due to movement restrictions and limited aid deliveries. Chronology June 19 : Gaza’s Ministry of Health said it had detected “component poliovirus type 2” in coordination with UNICEF, the United Nations children’s agency June 21 : The Israeli army begins to vaccinate against polio all soldiers operating in Gaza or due to enter there soon , after a high concentration of the virus was found in sewage in Gaza. source End of July : The World Health Organization is “extremely worried” about the possibility of an outbreak of the highly infectious polio virus in Gaza after traces were found in wastewater. Immunisation rates in Gaza and the occupied West Bank were optimal before the conflict. Polio vaccine coverage was estimated at 99% in 2022, although it had declined to 89% last year, according to the latest data. the “decimation” of Gaza health system" - with only 16 out of the territory's 36 hospitals partially functional - as well as the "lack of security, access obstruction, constant population displacement, shortages of medical supplies, poor quality of water and weakened sanitation" have contributed to reduce immunisation rates and increase the risk of diseases spreading. First case at the end of July : According to the WHO, a 10-month-old baby had been paralysed by the type-2 strand of the virus - the first case in Gaza in 25 years. Augustus 29 : Israel and Hamas have agreed to brief ceasefires in parts of Gaza to allow the safe distribution of the polio vaccine, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). These pauses will begin Sunday and occur in three phases: central Gaza first, then the south, and finally the north. Each pause will last three days, from 6am to 3pm, and may extend to a fourth day if necessary. Vaccination Campaign planning The WHO and partners are launching a campaign to vaccinate 640,000 children in Gaza against polio, despite the ongoing war and damaged healthcare system. Timeline by Phased Approach : A three-day campaign will start Sunday in central Gaza during a "humanitarian pause" from 6am to 3pm, with potential extensions. It will later move to southern and northern Gaza during similar pauses. Campaign Duration and Goals : The campaign will last three days in each zone, with a potential fourth day if needed. The goal is to vaccinate over 640,000 children under 10 across Gaza in two rounds, with the second dose administered in four weeks. Vaccination Sites : Around 160 sites, including medical centers, hospitals, and schools, are designated for vaccinations, mainly in Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah. Challenges : Significant obstacles include damaged infrastructure—65% of roads are affected and 19 of 36 hospitals are out of service. Security concerns have also halted aid group movements.The campaign is described as a "massive effort" involving thousands of workers, with significant planning and preparation. Health Worker Involvement : Over 2,180 health and community outreach workers are involved, working through 392 fixed points and almost 300 mobile teams. September 8 Director of field hospitals in Gaza Strip, Dr. Marwan Al-Hamas : The Ministry of Health decides to extend the polio vaccination campaign for an additional day in order to reach the largest number of children under the age of ten. source Progress of Emergency Polio Vaccination Campaign: Phase I: The campaign began on 1 September in central Gaza, reaching nearly 87,000 children on the first day Humanitarian Pauses : Area-specific pauses in fighting have allowed the vaccination efforts to proceed. These pauses are critical for ensuring safe access to health facilities for children and outreach workers. It was already broken in several places. Some incidents happens in Central Gaza Strip during the first days of the campaign. source Following the completion of the first phase of the polio vaccination campaign yesterday, conducted in areas with temporary ceasefire pauses, Palestinians are questioning when the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip will end. " Right now, you are vaccinating our children against polio, a simple virus. But every day they are killing them. In just a few hours, the truce will end, and the shelling and killing of children will resume" Huda Al-Sheikh: A mother from Gaza from Telegram: QudsNEN Phase II : There is difficulty in transporting the vaccine because there is no fuel. " A medical worker speaks to Quds Feed about the process of vaccinating children in the southern Gaza Strip" Source Phase III : Islam Bader is reporting here that the campaign was supposed to start on Monday in North Gaza but people have been informed that it'll be delayed until Tuesday because the vaccines have not entered yet (thanks IDF) and that medical delegations are being completely blocked from entering. starting 4:03 in the following Source Falafel stall massacre ▪ On September 10, in the Morning, the Israeli army bombed a popular food “basta” in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, killing 6 and injured several Palestinians, in the east of Gaza City is only a few dozen or hundreds of meters from the “Asaad Al-Saftawi”, “Jaffa” and “Al-Tuffah” schools, which have been identified as safe vaccination centers in the Al-Tuffah and Al-Daraj neighborhoods. Following Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, by this attack, “Israel seriously undermines polio vaccination campaign in Gaza". Incident at the North Gaza border On September 9 at 8:00 PM , the Israeli army stopped a UN and WHO convoy in northern Gaza, loaded with medicine and fuel, as it entered the Gaza Strip to interrogate Palestinian "suspects." Source Rumours are spreading simultaneously on X on all Zionist accounts , alleging that the Israeli army stopped a UN car participating in the anti-polio campaign because an activist/terrorist was among them. UN statement around 9:00 PM: "We are aware of an incident involving UN personnel and vehicles in northern Gaza, and the priority is the safety of our personnel."** Source UNRWA statement (Philippe Lazzarini) around "The Israeli Army stopped a UN convoy on its way to northern #Gaza for more than eight hours today (Monday) despite prior detailed coordination. The convoy had both national & international staff traveling to roll out the #polio vaccination campaign for children in Gaza city and northern Gaza. The convoy was stopped at gun point just after the Wadi Gaza checkpoint with threats to detain UN staff. Heavy damage was caused by bulldozers to the UN armoured vehicles. All staff & convoy are now released & back safely in the UN base. We are not able to confirm whether the polio campaign will take place tomorrow, (Tuesday) in northern Gaza. This significant incident is the latest in a series of violations against UN staff including shootings at convoys & arrests by the Israeli Armed Forces at checkpoints despite prior notification. UN Staff must be allowed to undertake their duties in safety + be protected at all times in accordance with international humanitarian law. Gaza is no different." Source Dr. Munir Al-Barash, Director General of the Ministry of Health : The occupation is obstructing the entry of the convoy of medicines and polio vaccinations, which leads to the failure to start the vaccination campaign in northern Gaza. Source Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor : The occupation army’s arrest of a UN mission yesterday and interrogation of its members as they moved from the southern Gaza Strip to the north clearly demonstrates its intention to disrupt humanitarian and relief efforts. Cynical context of this humanitarian campaign Gazans feel like they are part of a "dark game," constantly moving to avoid bombings while still facing risks. Pauses for polio vaccination are set in specific areas, with both stationary and mobile points available for people to get the vaccine, but accessing them is very difficult. There is skepticism among medical staff about the success of the vaccination campaign, with some believing Israel is using it as a smokescreen to claim it allows humanitarian aid, while larger issues remain unaddressed. Humanitarian aid is barely reaching Gaza, with significantly diminished levels of assistance and a growing number of people in need. Aid organizations face numerous obstacles, such as not being allowed to move essential supplies (e.g., vegetables, hygiene kits) between different parts of Gaza despite severe shortages. Conditions in Gaza are described as inhumane, with people barely surviving. "Now, in the north of Gaza, there is no vegetables on the commercial market, but, ironically, hygiene kits are getting in to the north. What we are not permitted to do is move vegetables from the south to the north, where they’re needed, or hygiene kits from the north to the south. And this is just one sort of example of the various different hurdles and obstacles that are deliberately being placed (by Israel) in our way." Arwa Damon, an American journalist and humanitarian who covered the Middle East and other regions. Source More than 400 Palestinians were killed and at least 900 were wounded during the 12 days of the vaccination campaign, according to figures by Palestinian health authorities. End of the first round of vaccination (initial dose of the oral vaccine) Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA’s chief, says the first round of the polio vaccination campaign in Gaza reached 90 percent coverage.* “Our next challenge is to provide children with their second dose at the end of September”* Philippe Lazzarini wrote in a post on X, renewing his call for an immediate ceasefire in the enclave.

A video documents the transformation of the Netzarim area in central Gaza since Israeli occupation [Original post] A video documents the transformation of the Nitzarim area in central Gaza, once a thriving residential area inhabited by Palestinians, now completely destroyed by the Israeli occupation. This area, which once connected northern and southern Gaza, was entirely demolished by the Israeli army, with residents displaced and the region placed under military control. The video highlights how this vital part of civilian life in Gaza has been erased from the map and turned into a closed military zone. via Abdelrahman Alkahlout [Tags: Homes, Devastation, Roads, Infrastructure, Urbicide] [Found by: Gaza Notifications, Abdelrahman Alkahlout] [Location: Gaza > Gaza City]

The people of Umm Safa (أم صفا) are desperately calling for help [Original post] The people of Umm Safa (أم صفا) are desperately calling for help. An appeal and call for action from the people and council of Umm Safa, West Bank, to the international community and to whom it may concern. Our village is under acute risk. In the last few years, we have suffered tremendously from attacks from Israeli settlers and the army. Only a year ago, settlers burned a number of the village's houses and cars, and the soldiers killed two Palestinians on the village's land. Since October 2023 the village has been subjected to daily harassment while the two main entry points have been blockaded by Israel. The rope around our neck is tightening as Israel is working toward massive land theft as we write these lines. Bulldozers, soldiers, and settlers in large numbers are razing private agricultural lands of the village on al-Ras Hill and Abu Tantur Hill, in the immediate proximity (less than 100 meters) of the Umm Safa's houses and school. The demolition works have expanded and intensified severely since Monday, September 9. Their plan is clear: to expand the illegal settlement on the lands of Umm Safa, to suffocate the village, torment its people, and to cause displacement and ethnic cleansing. We are calling everyone organizations, diplomats, activists, and every person concerned with justice - to do everything in their capacity to stop this violent operation from terrorizing our people. The livelihood, and in fact our lives, are in immediate danger, and we call for your solidarity. Please accept our utmost respect and appreciation, The people and council of Umm Safa @IntlCrimCourt @USEmbassyTA @EmbassyTLV @EUinIsrael [Tags: Homes, Settlement, Threat, Soldiers and Settlers, Machine Gun, Grenade, Raid, Agriculture, Living conditions, Property, Land theft, Appeals, Summary execution] [Found by: Mistaclim] [Location: West Bank > Ramallah > Umm Safa] [Archivist Notes] Location and Context: Umm Safa is a village in the Ramallah district of the West Bank, facing severe land seizure by Israeli settlers and military forces. Land Seizure: Israeli settlers, backed by the army, have been expropriating private lands from the village, leveling and destroying agricultural areas, including olive and grape trees. Settlers brought bulldozers to prepare the land for illegal settlement expansion on Jabal al-Ras and Abu Tantur hills. Impact on Residents: The village has been under constant attacks from settlers and the Israeli army, with settler violence intensifying, especially since 2023. Settlers have fired live bullets at homes, disrupted daily life, and attacked the local school during school hours. Multiple Palestinian youths, including Mohammed al-Bayed and Abdul Jiwad Salah, were killed while resisting the settler invasions. Protests and Suppression: Villagers, alongside International or Jewish anti-sionist activists, protested the land seizures. These protests have been met with violent suppression by Israeli forces, using tear gas and stun grenades. Soldiers have destroyed monuments dedicated to villagers killed by the army, further intensifying tensions. International Appeal: The people and council of Umm Safa are appealing to the international community for solidarity and intervention, calling for action to stop the ongoing land theft, harassment, and displacement. Ongoing Attacks: The village has experienced regular invasions and attacks, with settlers and soldiers harassing residents, cutting water supplies, and storming homes, leading to a growing humanitarian crisis. Appeals for Justice: Residents and solidarity activists have been persistently calling for international attention and justice, documenting these ongoing attacks and human rights violations. Chronological summary of the RECENT events in Umm Safa January 2024 January 2: Israeli settlers, protected by the military, began bulldozing land in the Jabal al-Ras area of Umm Safa, initiating large-scale land theft aimed at settlement expansion.

Villagers, along with activists, planted olive trees on private lands, but the army uprooted them and fired tear gas at those present. February 2024 February 18: Israeli forces kidnapped a young Palestinian man, Muhammad Samih Karaja, after raiding his house in Umm Safa. May 25: Every Friday, settlers from Ateret settlement have invaded the village’s lands, protected by the army. During this specific Friday, the army not only protected the settlers but also shot stun grenades and gas bombs into the village, setting a field on fire. July 2024 July 12: Israeli forces invaded a house in the village, took over the roof, and threw stun grenades at activists documenting the invasion. September 2024 September 9: Israeli bulldozers demolished approximately 200,000 m² of cultivated land in the Jabal al-Ras region, including olive and grape trees.

Yesterday he received the polio vaccine and today he was killed by an Israeli air strike [Original post] Yesterday he received the Polio Vaccine and Today he was killed by an Israeli Air Strike The didnt allow vaccines because they care about life it is because they FEARED it would spread to them [Tags: Hospitals, Water, Blocking Aid, Local Governance, Genocidal Intent, Sanitation, Water, Epidemic, Infrastructure, Dehumanization, Human Dignity, Children, Healthcare System] [Found by: Ryan Rozbiani] [Location: Gaza > North Gaza > Southern Gaza > Central Gaza] [Archivist Notes] Context Polio is highly contagious and transmits mainly through contact with contaminated feces, water or food. It can cause difficulty breathing and irreversible paralysis, usually in the legs. It strikes young children in particular and is sometimes fatal. Health crisis: Diseases like polio, hepatitis A, meningitis, and impetigo are spreading due to poor hygiene and destroyed infrastructure, with hospitals overwhelmed and many deaths reported, especially among children. Lack of hygiene supplies : Basic supplies like soap are unavailable for months, contributing to widespread illness. Humanitarian organizations struggle to provide essentials due to movement restrictions and limited aid deliveries. Chronology June 19 : Gaza’s Ministry of Health said it had detected “component poliovirus type 2” in coordination with UNICEF, the United Nations children’s agency June 21 : The Israeli army begins to vaccinate against polio all soldiers operating in Gaza or due to enter there soon , after a high concentration of the virus was found in sewage in Gaza. source End of July : The World Health Organization is “extremely worried” about the possibility of an outbreak of the highly infectious polio virus in Gaza after traces were found in wastewater. Immunisation rates in Gaza and the occupied West Bank were optimal before the conflict. Polio vaccine coverage was estimated at 99% in 2022, although it had declined to 89% last year, according to the latest data. the “decimation” of Gaza health system" - with only 16 out of the territory's 36 hospitals partially functional - as well as the "lack of security, access obstruction, constant population displacement, shortages of medical supplies, poor quality of water and weakened sanitation" have contributed to reduce immunisation rates and increase the risk of diseases spreading. First case at the end of July : According to the WHO, a 10-month-old baby had been paralysed by the type-2 strand of the virus - the first case in Gaza in 25 years. Augustus 29 : Israel and Hamas have agreed to brief ceasefires in parts of Gaza to allow the safe distribution of the polio vaccine, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). These pauses will begin Sunday and occur in three phases: central Gaza first, then the south, and finally the north. Each pause will last three days, from 6am to 3pm, and may extend to a fourth day if necessary. Vaccination Campaign planning The WHO and partners are launching a campaign to vaccinate 640,000 children in Gaza against polio, despite the ongoing war and damaged healthcare system. Timeline by Phased Approach : A three-day campaign will start Sunday in central Gaza during a "humanitarian pause" from 6am to 3pm, with potential extensions. It will later move to southern and northern Gaza during similar pauses. Campaign Duration and Goals : The campaign will last three days in each zone, with a potential fourth day if needed. The goal is to vaccinate over 640,000 children under 10 across Gaza in two rounds, with the second dose administered in four weeks. Vaccination Sites : Around 160 sites, including medical centers, hospitals, and schools, are designated for vaccinations, mainly in Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah. Challenges : Significant obstacles include damaged infrastructure—65% of roads are affected and 19 of 36 hospitals are out of service. Security concerns have also halted aid group movements.The campaign is described as a "massive effort" involving thousands of workers, with significant planning and preparation. Health Worker Involvement : Over 2,180 health and community outreach workers are involved, working through 392 fixed points and almost 300 mobile teams. September 8 Director of field hospitals in Gaza Strip, Dr. Marwan Al-Hamas : The Ministry of Health decides to extend the polio vaccination campaign for an additional day in order to reach the largest number of children under the age of ten. source Progress of Emergency Polio Vaccination Campaign: Phase I: The campaign began on 1 September in central Gaza, reaching nearly 87,000 children on the first day Humanitarian Pauses : Area-specific pauses in fighting have allowed the vaccination efforts to proceed. These pauses are critical for ensuring safe access to health facilities for children and outreach workers. It was already broken in several places. Some incidents happens in Central Gaza Strip during the first days of the campaign. source Following the completion of the first phase of the polio vaccination campaign yesterday, conducted in areas with temporary ceasefire pauses, Palestinians are questioning when the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip will end. " Right now, you are vaccinating our children against polio, a simple virus. But every day they are killing them. In just a few hours, the truce will end, and the shelling and killing of children will resume" Huda Al-Sheikh: A mother from Gaza from Telegram: QudsNEN Phase II : There is difficulty in transporting the vaccine because there is no fuel. " A medical worker speaks to Quds Feed about the process of vaccinating children in the southern Gaza Strip" Source Phase III : Islam Bader is reporting here that the campaign was supposed to start on Monday in North Gaza but people have been informed that it'll be delayed until Tuesday because the vaccines have not entered yet (thanks IDF) and that medical delegations are being completely blocked from entering. starting 4:03 in the following Source Falafel stall massacre ▪ On September 10, in the Morning, the Israeli army bombed a popular food “basta” in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, killing 6 and injured several Palestinians, in the east of Gaza City is only a few dozen or hundreds of meters from the “Asaad Al-Saftawi”, “Jaffa” and “Al-Tuffah” schools, which have been identified as safe vaccination centers in the Al-Tuffah and Al-Daraj neighborhoods. Following Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, by this attack, “Israel seriously undermines polio vaccination campaign in Gaza". Incident at the North Gaza border On September 9 at 8:00 PM , the Israeli army stopped a UN and WHO convoy in northern Gaza, loaded with medicine and fuel, as it entered the Gaza Strip to interrogate Palestinian "suspects." Source Rumours are spreading simultaneously on X on all Zionist accounts , alleging that the Israeli army stopped a UN car participating in the anti-polio campaign because an activist/terrorist was among them. UN statement around 9:00 PM: "We are aware of an incident involving UN personnel and vehicles in northern Gaza, and the priority is the safety of our personnel."** Source UNRWA statement (Philippe Lazzarini) around "The Israeli Army stopped a UN convoy on its way to northern #Gaza for more than eight hours today (Monday) despite prior detailed coordination. The convoy had both national & international staff traveling to roll out the #polio vaccination campaign for children in Gaza city and northern Gaza. The convoy was stopped at gun point just after the Wadi Gaza checkpoint with threats to detain UN staff. Heavy damage was caused by bulldozers to the UN armoured vehicles. All staff & convoy are now released & back safely in the UN base. We are not able to confirm whether the polio campaign will take place tomorrow, (Tuesday) in northern Gaza. This significant incident is the latest in a series of violations against UN staff including shootings at convoys & arrests by the Israeli Armed Forces at checkpoints despite prior notification. UN Staff must be allowed to undertake their duties in safety + be protected at all times in accordance with international humanitarian law. Gaza is no different." Source Dr. Munir Al-Barash, Director General of the Ministry of Health : The occupation is obstructing the entry of the convoy of medicines and polio vaccinations, which leads to the failure to start the vaccination campaign in northern Gaza. Source Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor : The occupation army’s arrest of a UN mission yesterday and interrogation of its members as they moved from the southern Gaza Strip to the north clearly demonstrates its intention to disrupt humanitarian and relief efforts. Cynical context of this humanitarian campaign Gazans feel like they are part of a "dark game," constantly moving to avoid bombings while still facing risks. Pauses for polio vaccination are set in specific areas, with both stationary and mobile points available for people to get the vaccine, but accessing them is very difficult. There is skepticism among medical staff about the success of the vaccination campaign, with some believing Israel is using it as a smokescreen to claim it allows humanitarian aid, while larger issues remain unaddressed. Humanitarian aid is barely reaching Gaza, with significantly diminished levels of assistance and a growing number of people in need. Aid organizations face numerous obstacles, such as not being allowed to move essential supplies (e.g., vegetables, hygiene kits) between different parts of Gaza despite severe shortages. Conditions in Gaza are described as inhumane, with people barely surviving. "Now, in the north of Gaza, there is no vegetables on the commercial market, but, ironically, hygiene kits are getting in to the north. What we are not permitted to do is move vegetables from the south to the north, where they’re needed, or hygiene kits from the north to the south. And this is just one sort of example of the various different hurdles and obstacles that are deliberately being placed (by Israel) in our way." Arwa Damon, an American journalist and humanitarian who covered the Middle East and other regions. Source More than 400 Palestinians were killed and at least 900 were wounded during the 12 days of the vaccination campaign, according to figures by Palestinian health authorities. End of the first round of vaccination (initial dose of the oral vaccine) Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA’s chief, says the first round of the polio vaccination campaign in Gaza reached 90 percent coverage.* “Our next challenge is to provide children with their second dose at the end of September”* Philippe Lazzarini wrote in a post on X, renewing his call for an immediate ceasefire in the enclave.
