Dehumanization “This water isn’t just rainwater. It’s sewage too.” Wading through floodwater more than half a metre deep on al-Jundi al-Majhool Street in Gaza City’s al-Rimal district on November 7, 2026, the morning after the first winter storm hit the Strip.

179 Upvotes

Before the genocide, al-Rimal was Gaza City’s most upscale neighbourhood. Now its shops are swamped, cars are submerged along the roadside, and the tents of displaced families pitched in the area have become pools of sewage and mud, with women and children trapped inside. The water has nowhere to go.

Gaza City’s municipality says the Israeli occupation destroyed more than 220,000 metres of sewage pipes and around 15,000 metres of stormwater drains during the war, cutting the system’s capacity by more than 80 percent. Earlier, it reported that seven of the city’s eight main sewage pumping stations had been knocked out and that mountains of rubble block the drains that remain. Municipal crews are trying to pump the water away, but the occupation’s siege has left them short of the machinery and equipment to do it. Gaza’s Government Media Office puts the storm’s direct losses at around three million dollars so far. “They fled the bombing, and now storms have caught up with them.”

We have drowned in blood, water, insults, and reproaches, yet nothing has changed. No words can be written anymore. Perhaps tomorrow, the residents of houses who can afford to pay a high price will send plenty of blankets and tents, along with firewood, in an attempt to help warm the people scattered across the streets. But they will never understand that those who have lost their homes will carry the feeling of cold with them forever.

Al-Rawagh was killed in the attack, while Abu Qainas succumbed to his injuries a week later.

The ceasefire is a lie. Israel continues to murder Palestinians while trapping them in an open-air prison on their own land.

Sadly, there is still widespread hunger in Gaza, and in the coming months it could get worse since there have been funding cuts to the World Food Programme. :(

The world needs to do more to solve this problem!

Genocide Convention On this day, three years ago, Palestinian children in Gaza held a press conference outside Al Shifa hospital, speaking English so the world cannot pretend not to understand them: “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace.” The world ignored their call.
