REMINDER: [Day 110 of the ongoing and now accelerating genocide] Israel is still killing 200-300 civilians daily in Gaza (half of them children) and injures twice as many daily. People injured have very little medical care and die regularly of infested wounds or get their limbs amputated with kitchen knives without anesthesia (1100 children had their limbs amputated as such). Casualties (injured and killed) are now 3.2% of the 2.3 million population (equivalent to 11.2 million US victims).
Israel continues to deny humanitarian aid (food, water medicines including anesthesia) with Egypt's collusion. Famine is spreading especially among the 400-500,000 civilians left in North Gaza (but also in other regions of Gaza). Deaths are thus accelerating. Diseases (Hepatitis A, Leishmania, intestinal and skin disorders) are spreading with no treatments. Israel rendered most of the hospitals and clinics inoperational. Kidney dialysis patients, cancer patients, and other patients are dying as there are no treatments.
Winter storm arrived today and 1.9 million people have no shelter. 110 journalists were killed and over 250 injured. This is about 15-20% of all Journalists in Gaza, higher than population rate so it is intentional targeting to suppress truth coming out. Israeli occupation forces also killed academics and doctors and destroyed hundreds of mosques, 3 churches, six cemeteries, universities and hospitals. The intention is to reduce Gaza strip to rubble (70% of all building are already damaged). We will not forgive or forget the complicity many and silence of many people. We are grateful to those who act.
Our own work of building continues: Last week we had lecture on environmental impact of war and two papers on the same subjects submitted and accepted. This week we have three talks related to war's impact on health, agriculture, education. We also engage in field work, in cultivation of lands and minds. We engage in education (e.g. my master students) conservation (e.g. animal rehabilitation, direct conservation efforts) and community service (support for farmers and marginalized communities). Please look for our (palestinenature.org) detailed annual report coming out next week).

Israel arrested thousands of people and its already flawed "legal system" has become even more racist and genocidal. Before 7 October, innocent Palestinians were (enmeshed) in a rigged legal system. After 7 October it became a fascist system where prisoners are abused, denied even the family visits that were limited before, denied even formality of trials and having representation. Like the killing of tens of thousamds of civilians for revenge and genocide and ethnic cleansing, the situation for prisoners is horrific and so far many died under torture Click Here
