International Gaza children freezing to death amid Israeli blockade, warns UNRWA chief

[terrapin]

It is currently 20 fucking degrees in Israel/Gaza. That is essentially springtime weather for a lot of Europe. Bullshit.

You'll be the first to die in the woods in a survival situation because you don't realize that it doesn't have to be freezing to die from the cold. You just have to slowly lose the battle of keeping your body warm enough...

If you don't have the proper clothing and the proper shelter consistently, you can tie in that weather easy.

 

[kflo]

Did you read my article? No you didn't - so STFU hypocrite.

There’s factual historical information you simply refuse to acknowledge because the source is Arabs.

Yeah I read the article. A baby died and they attribute it to the cold as reported by Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

Unlike you I can read articles despite the source being biased. And decide what is fact and what is editorial.

Unlike you who won’t read anything from an org you know nothing about because the authors are Jewish. And won’t even acknowledge factual information about the org.

So no. I am not like you.

I read your article and don't believe it.

Now stop demanding I believe your BS articles as evidence.

You expect me to believe your biased sources yet reject others because you feel they're biased. That's completely hypocritical.

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Should send David Goggins to Gaza harden dem up nobody should haffi tap oot to a crisp breeze imho

 

[terrapin]

Here's an Al Jazeera article about kids freezing in Gaza. Read it because I told you so and accept it as Gospel truth!

Stop denying facts because it's an Arab organization!

Or maybe STFU you hypocrite.

Sixth baby dies from severe cold in Gaza as Israel raids hospitals

One-month-old Ali al-Batran dies a day after twin brother as enclave suffers bitter temperatures under Israeli bombs.

It's amazing how many people can't understand that hypothermia can happen in 60° weather easily...

But how could you expect certain people to want to see the truth? Because the truth is, if you can't see there's a genocide and a despicable profoundly immoral and evil slaughter going on of the Palestinians.... your head is firmly planted somewhere on purpose.

 

[PRESIDENT TRUMP]

Tell the world brother,
They even convinced your wife to worship BBC's, instead of her own husband, shameful stuff.
pure evil that zionism I tell you!

That's some very specific projecting. Thanks for letting us know you're a cuck though.

That's some very specific projecting. Thanks for letting us know you're a cuck though.

If you go through Sammy's post history you'll probably find the post Rholk is referring too.

Also:

Nah I'm not reading your gaslighting bullshit article. It has nothing to do with your original point that Jewish groups bought some negligible amount of land before the partition.

Yea I'm sure the Jewish Learning Institute - the education arm of the Orthodox Hasidic Judaism movement is impartial and unbiased.

The Israel-Gaza war has taken an unprecedented toll on Gazan journalists since Israel declared war on Hamas following its attack against Israel on October 7, 2023.

As of December 20, 2024, CPJ’s preliminary investigations showed at least 141 journalists and media workers were among the more than tens of thousands killed in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and Lebanon since the war began, making it the deadliest period for journalists since CPJ began gathering data in 1992.

Journalists in Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict, including devastating Israeli airstrikes, famine, the displacement of 90% of Gaza’s population, and the destruction of 80% of its buildings. CPJ is investigating more than 130 additional cases of potential killings, arrests and injuries, but many are difficult to document amid these harsh conditions.

“Since the war in Gaza started, journalists have been paying the highest price – their lives – for their reporting. Without protection, equipment, international presence, communications, or food and water, they are still doing their crucial jobs to tell the world the truth,” said CPJ Program Director Carlos Martinez de la Serna in New York. “Every time a journalist is killed, injured, arrested, or forced to go to exile, we lose fragments of the truth. Those responsible for these casualties face dual trials: one under international law and another before history’s unforgiving gaze.”

Journalists are civilians and are protected by International Law. Deliberately targeting civilians constitutes a war crime. In May, the International Criminal Court announced it was seeking arrest warrant applications for Hamas and Israeli leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

To date, CPJ has determined that at least seven journalists and one media worker were directly targeted by Israeli forces in killings which CPJ classifies as murders: Issam Abdallah, Hamza Al Dahdouh, Mustafa Thuraya, Ismail Al Ghoul, Rami Al Refee, Ghassan Najjar, Wissam Kassem, and Mohammed Reda. CPJ is still researching the details for confirmation in at least 20 other cases that indicate possible targeting.

Two more journalists were killed and three were injured in Gaza around the time of the war’s one-year anniversary on October 7, prompting CPJ to renew its call for an end to impunity in Israel’s attacks on journalists.

As of December 20:

• 141 journalists and media workers were confirmed killed: 133 Palestinian, two Israeli, and six Lebanese.
• 49 journalists were reported injured
• 2 journalists were reported missing
• 75 journalists were reported arrested.
• Multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks, censorship, and killings of family members.

CPJ is also investigating numerous unconfirmed reports of other journalists being killed, missing, detained, hurt, or threatened, and of damage to media offices and journalists’ homes.

The list of killed journalists documented in our database includes names based on information obtained from CPJ’s sources in the region and media reports. It includes all journalists* involved in news-gathering activity. It is not always immediately clear whether all of these journalists were covering the conflict at the time of their deaths, but CPJ has included them in its count as it investigates their circumstances.

The list is being updated on a regular basis, with names being removed if CPJ confirms that those members of the media were not working journalists at the time they were killed, injured, or went missing.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officials have repeatedly told media outlets that the army does not deliberately target journalists. It also told agencies shortly after the war started that it could not guarantee the safety of journalists. CPJ has called for an end to the longstanding pattern of impunity in cases of journalists killed by the IDF.

United Nations experts have raised concerns over the killings of journalists, saying in a February statement that they were “alarmed at the extraordinarily high numbers of journalists and media workers who have been killed, attacked, injured and detained in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly in Gaza, in recent months blatantly disregarding international law.”

Of these 133 “Palestinian journalists”, how many were actually Hamas terrorists?

 

[SuperAlly]

This is zionism, and it will not stop with the children of gaza. Noone is safe from it.

This is Palestinian terrorism, it will not stop with the children of the Middle East. No one is safe from it.

They prefer to just tell a karate forum highly biased, inaccurate or deluded nonsense dozens of times a week instead

 

[SuperAlly]

You literally won’t read an article and completely dismiss the entire entity and anything they publish based solely on it being a Jewish organization. You won’t even acknowledge their courses are accredited despite knowing nothing about them. Because…..well you already told us why….

There’s factual historical information you simply refuse to acknowledge because the source is Jews.

Pretty much the definition of racism

 

[SuperAlly]

Did you read my article? No you didn't - so STFU hypocrite.



There’s factual historical information you simply refuse to acknowledge because the source are Arabs.

The difference is Al Jazeera have been demonstrated numerous times to be biased, unreliable and false numerous times in this conflict. He dismisses them on the basis of they have been shown to be outright liars. You dismiss his source merely because “Jews”.

Your reasoning is racism based. His is logic based.

 

[SuperAlly]

I read your article and don't believe it.

Now stop demanding I believe your BS articles as evidence.

You expect me to believe your biased sources yet reject others because you feel they're biased. That's completely hypocritical.

Not because he feels.

Because it has been demonstrated numerous times.

That’s the difference

He’s not dismissing them on his perceptions. He is dismissing them on their actual actions.

You haven’t done that.

You’ve jumped straight to dismissing them based on their race / ethnic background.

Your attitudes and behaviours have demonstrated racism because you leapt straight to a position based on who they are not what they have done.

The Gaza Strip is 140 Square Miles.
If it really had 275 journalists within its borders it has more journalists, per square mile, than NYC.

So this reeks of bullshit.

'Blankets, mattresses, and other winter supplies have been stuck in the region for months waiting for approval to get into Gaza,' Philippe Lazzarini says, referring to Israel's blockade of coastal enclave​

The commissioner-general of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has warned that children in Gaza are freezing to death due to the cold weather and a severe lack of shelter, Anadolu reports.

“Gaza babies are freezing to death due to cold weather and a lack of shelter,” Philippe Lazzarini wrote in a post on X late Friday.

“Blankets, mattresses, and other winter supplies have been stuck in the region for months waiting for approval to get into Gaza,” he said, referring to Israel’s inhumane blockade of the coastal enclave, which launched a genocidal war in the first week of October last year.

The UN official reiterated his call for an immediate cease-fire, urging “an immediate flow of much-needed basic supplies, including for winter.”

On Thursday, Gaza’s Health Ministry Director-General Munir Al-Barsh told Anadolu that three Palestinian children died in makeshift displacement camps over the past week due to freezing temperatures.

Two-week-old Sila Mahmoud Al-Faseeh died from exposure to cold in a displacement camp in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, on Wednesday. She was the second infant to die in the same camp, following the death of Aisha Adnan Al-Qassas on Dec. 20.

Israel has killed more than 45,400 people in Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023, cross-border attack by Hamas, reducing the enclave to rubble.

Last month, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.

Good post mate.
It seems that the Israeli ideology is to kill everyone inside of Gaza. This way they can be sure to have killed all the Hamas soldiers and leadership. Civilian collateral damage is irrelevant. They don't care about Palestinian civilians or their suffering. At this stage of the game, had the Israelis dropped a 10-kiloton nuke into Gaza, more civilians would have survived. Amazing, from a people who lost 6,000,000 Jews during the Holocaust in WWII.

Yes. It makes it sound big, but in reality, it is 25 miles long, by 8 miles wide. Now it makes it sound small. Heck, I can jog those 8 miles in the morning.

It's 140 square miles. Feel free to double-check.

My point is most, if not all, of those 'journalists' are Hamas posing as journalists, that is if those numbers are not inflated if not completely fabricated out of Hamas's imagination.

 

[San Marino]

Yes, I did agree with that.

Does the NY Times move out of the city? 275 journalists isn't much, that's a lot less than most major papers, whether or not you're including non-writing journalists. At any rate, it's irrefutable that Israel has at times killed journalists in cold blood, likely in deliberate assassinations. So much for democratic values.

Also since when did membership in a terrorist organization automatically equal death penalty? By that logic, chaplains and embedded journalists are fair game in any conflict, which would be a drastic erosion of norms.
