The ceasefire does not erase the fact that Israel has committed an urbicide in Gaza.
Rafah has been flattened to the point that the Palestinian-Egyptian border is visible from Khan Younis.
In north Gaza, Jabalia camp has been left entirely in ruins.
Al-Alami, Al-Houja, Al-Fallaju districts have all been annihilated
Bisan Owda has posted multiple videos where she says that the ceasefire does not mean the end of suffering for Gazans-the tent cities, the displacement camps won't vanish, because every single infrastructure has been bombed; even optimistically speaking, it will take months to clear out the rubble. People will still have to spend the summer in the tent, maybe even the winter of 2025 won't see much of a difference. To quote Bisan, this is just a pause in the killing of her people- this is not the end of genocide or colonization from the settler state which had every intention to settle back in Gaza and push Palestinians out into the desert.
I don't know what is going to happen in the coming months, only that this is not the time to stop paying attention. The Nakba never ended and these fifteen months of accelerated genocide has caused much loss and grief. Right at this moment, Gazans are either trying to evacuate or they are trying to return to their destroyed homes and pick up the pieces- now more than ever is the time to stand in solidarity. Please keep supporting in whichever way you can. My friend Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj2024 ) is trying to return to the north of Gaza, he wants to return home. He needs to raise €2500 for transportation and other necessities. Please boost and donate.
Hi, my name is Osama Radwan and I’m raising these funds for Siraj and his family.
Siraj is vetted at #219 in Hussein and Nabulsi's doc
