More than 100,000 tonnes of US military equipment have arrived in #israelPalestine since 7 October 2023.

In the West Bank, since January 2025, state forces have displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians from Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur Shams, while bulldozers continue to transform refugee camps into militarised zones.

#Israel’s #Rafah #camp – ‘humanitarian city’ or #crime against humanity? theconversation.com/israels-ra

The plan is illegal, inhumane and risks worsening the humanitarian crisis in #Gaza. The forced #displacement and containment of any civilian population in an occupied territory is a violation of international humanitarian law. Done on this scale would constitute a war crime and a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute.

Israel issues latest forced evacuation order in areas in Khan Younis

Adraee said that the army was expanding its operation and “intensifying sudden and concentrated firepower”. The spokesperson called on residents to evacuate westward.

So-called Israeli safe zones, including Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, are routinely attacked despite the army forcing Palestinians to move to those areas.

Reclaimining a sense of place
Mobility and the right to stay in a milieu

"Touristification describes a situation where locals fear their home towns and cities are being developed, designed and managed to attract and accommodate tourists. This touristification process benefits commerce and industries that profit from catering to visitors. Everyone else misses out, or is literally pushed out by rising housing costs. Some places are overwhelmed by short-term overtourism...Local housing, for instance, is being sacrificed for holiday rentals, facilitated by agencies such as Airbnb. local communities do not feel heard or empowered by tourism models which are focused on growth."

The so-called Gaza "Humanitarian" Foundation (#GHF) is obviously not only helping with #displacement and killing of #Palestinian #civilians in #Gaza, but also a shady "organization" trying to evade public oversight and accountability.

»The #Swiss Federal Supervisory Authority for Foundations (#ESA) said in a notice published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce on Wednesday that it could order the dissolution of the GHF unless creditors come forward within 30 days.[…]

The ESA told Reuters the GHF had not fulfilled certain legal requirements to operate in Switzerland, including having the correct number of board members, a postal address or a Swiss bank account.«

“Everything was completely destroyed. This was a school, that was a university … Yet after a while, it becomes your normal.”

“All I could see was shooting and killing and relocation, so 2 million people are now in less than 20 percent of Gaza and constantly being moved from place to place. The Israeli army doesn’t look at them as humans any more, just waiting for them to die.”
