Press Release from Gaza Municipality

The Israeli occupation targets Gaza Municipality staff involved in operating water wells.

On Friday, June 21, 2024 at 10:40 AM, Israeli occupation forces targeted Gaza Municipality staff involved in operating water wells, resulting in the deaths of five employees:

Engineer, Anwar Subhi Al-Jundi (54 years old) - Emergency Committee Member.

Zahir Hamdi Al-Haddad (41 years old).

Sharif Omar Al-Jundi (33 years old).

Ibrahim Zuhair Abu Khater (32 years old).

Ahmed Ismail Al-Helou (24 years old).

In response to this heinous crime, Gaza Municipality mourns its heroic martyrs and extends heartfelt condolences to their families. The municipality asserts the following:

Gaza Municipality strongly condemns the Israeli occupation forces' targeting of its civilian employees, who were performing their national duty and serving citizens despite extremely limited resources and high risks.

Gaza Municipality calls for an immediate investigation into the crime of targeting its employees, who are classified as relief workers, as they were working to pump water for citizens.

Gaza Municipality urges the United Nations and international organizations to urgently intervene to protect its employees who have been working tirelessly since the beginning of the aggression to continue providing essential services to the citizens.

Gaza Municipality warns of the potential collapse of municipal services due to the targeting of its employees, which could endanger citizen's lives through the potential halt of essential services such as water, sewage, and waste collection.

In conclusion, Gaza Municipality emphasizes that it is a civilian organization dedicated to providing essential services, and that its teams are protected by international laws and regulations.

When the WCK convoy was targeted it was branded a mistake. It wasn't and neither is this but the west isn't going to care one bit about this attack and we know why.

Please check this post for more information on the Gaza Municipality as well as donate to them if you can!

Repost from @amaalysse:

|| Engineer and PhD researcher Asem Al-Nabeh, who also serves as the spokesperson for Gaza Municipality, states that rebuilding Gaza will not take as long as some reports suggest. Recent reports indicated that removing the rubble from Gaza City alone could take up to 15 years, not accounting for the subsequent rebuilding phase. However, Al-Nabeh argues that these estimates do not consider several critical factors, such as the number of workers, daily work hours, and the availability of heavy machinery.

Al-Nabeh emphasizes that with adequate resources and equipment, the process of rubble removal could be completed in less than a year. He points out that previous experiences have shown that the cost of rubble removal can be significantly reduced or even generate income. Many private companies are willing to clear rubble in exchange for acquiring it, making the process much more economical. He remains optimistic that with the necessary support, Gaza’s reconstruction can proceed swiftly and effectively.

المهندس والباحث الدكتور عاصم النابه، والمتحدث باسم بلدية غزة، يوضح أن إعادة بناء غزة لن تستغرق وقتًا طويلاً كما تشير بعض التقارير. أشارت تقارير حديثة إلى أن إزالة الأنقاض من مدينة غزة وحدها قد يستغرق ما يصل إلى 15 عامًا، دون احتساب مرحلة إعادة البناء التالية. ومع ذلك، يؤكد النبه أن هذه التقديرات لا تأخذ في الاعتبار عدة عوامل حاسمة، مثل عدد العمال، ساعات العمل اليومية، وتوافر الآليات الثقيلة.

يؤكد النبه أنه مع الموارد والمعدات الكافية، يمكن إتمام عملية إزالة الأنقاض في أقل من عام. يشير إلى أن التجارب السابقة أظهرت أن تكلفة إزالة الأنقاض يمكن تخفيضها بشكل كبير أو حتى تحقيق دخل منها. العديد من الشركات الخاصة على استعداد لإزالة الأنقاض مقابل الحصول عليها، مما يجعل العملية أكثر اقتصادية. يبقى النبه متفائلا بأنه مع الدعم اللازم، يمكن أن تسير عملية إعادة إعمار غزة بسرعة وفعالية. ||

It is a very sad day. Veronica phoned me this morning to tell me that Uta's mother had died after a long illness. I spoke to her just a few days ago and she knew she was dying and was so brave. I am glad that I had the opportunity of meeting her, even if only for a few days and since then we have been in touch all the time. I often thought of her when I was writing my letters and wondering what she thought.

Then yesterday too my friend's grandson was mortally  wounded. He has particles in his brain and there does not seem to be much hope. It was only the other day that I had supper with her and Robbie and she said that she does not sleep at night. That it would break them if something happened to him .

 I can think of nothing positive happening in my life. Then I read of our president whom I realise does not have a brain in his head.  He signs a rocket which is going to kill people as if he were writing on someone's bandages leg or knee?  And then there are people who laugh at their sufferings. 

It is getting harder and harder to write.  woman Orit Stroch. a settler, who wrote demanding to know whether the pilots who said they would not report for future reserve duty had refused to take part in the war? By the way she is also the one who said that  no doctor should have to treat anyone from the gay community if it conflicted with their religious beliefs. And for support which Netanyahu gave the general who replied to her read the attached

Outrage as far-right minister suggests some pilots refusing air support for Gaza troops

Settlements Minister Orit Strock widely reported to ask at cabinet if some in Air Force are failing to carry out their duties for ideological reasons

Today the Jerusalem municipality came to the tent of the families and took down and tore  all their signs  and a bunch of hooligans came past screaming that all the families are traitors and caused the death of their children and the war and that piece of shit whose two sons cower behind them is quiet. That is Israel today of Netanyahu.  

After a long interval because of the war, we had not been to the DCO and decided to go.  We were surprised to find about 15 men there. They had all been summoned by the ISA, the secret service. One indignantly told us that he had to pull his trousers down to his ankles and did not know why. They also told us that the Satmar cult comes into their neighborhoods with the Palestinian flag with no problem. They were all very pleasant.

We then decided to see what is happening at the entrance to Beit Lechem from road 60. Until the war the road was completely open but this is the way it looks now. We stopped a short distance before the checkpoint. 

Shlomit got out to photograph and immediately a soldier came running up demanding our IDs. We told him we only have to show IDs to a policeman and when he said he was also a policeman asked to be shown identification.  Also , as we were on the main road of the town and not in the area of the checkpoint, to be shown proof that where we were standing was a closed army area. He claimed that we had photographed him and said that it was easy to identify him....I leave that to your judgement,He said he would phone the police and we said to be our guest. I said to Shlomit that it was just as well we  had not driven off before we saw him approaching us as in this day and age he would probably have taken a shot at us. But all's well that ends well....He had evidently phoned the representative of the DCO. He   knew us from former days at Etzion and we showed him the photo which he did not  ask to have deleted  and  after a short and pleasant conversation continued on our way home. 

Today we went to plant trees with one of the farmers from Burin. Not that I could help but I go to identify. This is how the others went up. Her ladyship went up by taxi. i don't think it is the help which is important but that we come. We left early though as the Palestinian authority phoned and said that the area was getting restless and we should go and then too soldiers and settlers started coming down the mountain. But people bought a lot of his olives and olive oil. I asked where his family was ...usually it is very joyous there and the house was so empty but he said it was too dangerous from them to be there so they had gone to live in the village.

But then we also have this......I remember how Israelis said what animals the Palestinians are that whenever there was an attack on Israelis they would go out to celebrate and give out sweets. Evidently Israelis are also keen to learn from Palestinians as this is what some soldiers did.... singing and dancing in the street and giving out sweets at the death of one of the Hamas. Not that I feel any grief for him but this is not the Jewish way. But today I no longer think that there is a Jewish way. I think we have learned only too well of how to hate and how to conduct pogroms. They should remember the Peisach seder where God rebukes his angels for singing when the Egyptians drowned. 

and this caricature appeared in one of the far right newspapers. If it  had been from a newspaper on the left or a journalist/ whoever published it would already be sitting in jail/ If you want to know what this is about look at the pdf below. It is too complicated for me to go into it.

Life For Gaza: Each Cent Counts, Quenching the Thirst of Humanity in Gaza City

The Gaza Municipality is tasked with providing vital services such as water supply, waste management and sewage treatment. However, the widespread destruction in Gaza City has severely hampered the Municipality's ability to deliver even the most basic necessities to its residents. With limited access to water, the population faces a dire health and environmental crisis, especially affecting children.

By joining forces in this initiative, we cultivate hope and solidarity, fostering empathy and collaboration across communities while easing the hardships endured by those in Gaza. This collective effort reassures them that they are not alone in their struggle. The Gaza Municipality earnestly appeals for your support to help reinstate essential services, currently the foremost priority. In the northern regions of the Gaza Strip alone, over 500,000 individuals urgently require these services.

Where your donations will be directed:

- Water supply enhancement projects

- Maintenance of water wells

- Implementation of water desalination initiatives

- Management of waste collection and disposal systems

- Reconstruction of roads demolished during war

- Implementation of sewage water pumping and treatment schemes

- Execution of pest control and rodent eradication programs

[ 📹 A child, killed in an Israeli airstrike, is found in the arms of his dead father by Palestinian civil defense personnel under the rubble of their residential home in the Gaza Strip on Saturday after a long night of IOF warplanes bombing their way across the entirety of the enclave.]

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏠💥🚑 🚨

ZIONIST BOMBING CAMPAIGN KILLS DOZENS ON DAY 176 OF "ISRAEL'S" WAR OF GENOCIDE IN THE GAZA STRIP

On the 176th day of "Israel's" ongoing war of genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 7 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of at least 71 Palestinians, mostly women and children, while another 112 others have been wounded over the previous 24-hours.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported on Saturday that a total of 26 personnel have been killed since the beginning of the Zionist aggression on Gaza, including 15 team members who were killed while performing their duties.

PRCS crews also reported transporting the bodies of two martyrs, killed as a result of occupation artillery shelling of a civilian structure in the Al-Maghazi Camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

Israeli occupation forces continued with their offensive near Al-Shifa Medical Complex, located in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, besieging the hospital for at least 10 consecutive days, while horrific attacks on civilians, patients and medical personnel in the hospital are being reported, including field executions of civilians, illegal detentions, torture, and forced displacement of local residents and civilians sheltering in the complex.

Elsewhere, Zionist occupation forces bombed a residential home belonging to the Abdo family on Al-Wahda Street, in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of 10 family members.

In yet another horrific atrocity, Zionist soldiers assassinated a police officer in Gaza City as he drove his wife and children in his civilian vehicle, killing all seven family members.

IOF warplanes also bombarded The Shuja'iyya Club, a local sports club in the Al-Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, resulting in the martyrdom of several citizens, including members of the popular committees in charge of organizing the distribution of humanitarian aid.

The Zionist occupation army also targeted starving Palestinians waiting for food aid on Salah al-Din Street, in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City, wounding a number of civilians.

Occupation bombing, shelling and gunfire also continues to target civilians across the northern Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces also completed the destruction of the city of Prisoners, north of the Al-Nuseirat Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, leveling 21 out of 24 buildings in the area.

Simultaneously, Zionist warplanes bombed several civilian homes near the Prisoner Towers, west of the Al-Nuseirat Camp, martyring five civilians.

Occupation fighter jets also bombarded the town of Al-Mughraqa, along with the Al-Nuseirat Camp, Al-Maghazi and in the vicinity of the Wadi Gaza Bridge in the central Gaza Strip.

The IOF also targeted the headquarters of the municipalities of Al-Bureij and Al-Zawayda in the central Governate of the Gaza Strip, which can no longer provide basic services as a result.

In yet another horrific crime, IOF warplanes bombed a civilian residence belonging to the Musa family in the Al-Maghazi Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, killing several family members and wounding a number of others, while the explosion from the blast also wrought massive destruction on nearby houses.

In the south of Gaza, local paramedic and civil defense crews say they transported the bodies of 13 Palestinians who were slaughtered in mass killings after the occupation bombing of the town of Al-Qarara, north of Khan Yunis.

Violent raids continued when Zionist aircraft bombed central Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, martyring two Palestinian civilians and wounding a number of others, while occupation warplanes also wrought massive destruction after bombing several multi-storied residential buildings in the Austrian neighborhood west of Khan Yunis.

The Zionist occupation army, including tanks, armored vehicles, and warplanes, have been hammering, with violent airstrikes and heavy artillery shelling, targeting various areas of Khan Yunis, with special attention paid to the eastern and western neighborhoods of the city, and also in the vicinity of Nasser Medical Complex.

Several firebelts were also launched by IOF fighter jets targeting the Khuza'a neighborhood, east of Khan Yunis, along with the Sufa and Abasan areas, northeast of the city.

It is also being reported that the number of dead as a result of the IOF bombing of the Abu Muammar family home in Rafah City, in southern Gaza, on Thursday morning has risen to 14.

The infinitely rising death toll resulting from "Israel's" war of genocide in the Gaza Strip has now exceeded 32'705 Palestinians killed, with more than 25'000 of the victims being women and children according to the United States Pentagon, while an additional 75'190 civilians have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression beginning on October 7th, 2023.

Okay, a thing I found out about via someone on Twitter griping that nobody was talking about it, apparently the municipality of Gaza itself is trying to raise funds to fix their water services, waste management and sewage treatment.

Which, given how thoroughly fucked those things over there happen to be, and how many people stuck there are suffering without them, is pretty vital. So, if you want a campaign to donate to that can help on a huge scale...

Donation Drive for Palestine

Hi everyone! I just passed 10,000 followers. I want to do something to celebrate this moment, and after some consideration I've decided that the thing I would most like to do for this milestone is host a donation drive for Palestine

I will be donating 1¢ in support of Palestine for each of my followers and YOU get to decide where this money goes. At the time of this post that totals to $100.19 from 10,019 followers, but I will continue counting additional followers towards the goal until this poll ends

Here's how it works:

I'll be donating 1¢ for each of my followers. New followers will continue to be counted until either this poll ends or I can no longer afford it

You can vote in the poll below to decide where the money should be donated. I've selected 10 charities that are supporting Gaza and I'll be donating amounts to each of them based on my follower count and the percentage of votes they receive (ie. 10% of votes with the current total of $100.19 = $10.02 to that charity)

Once the poll ends, I'll make my donations and post an update with the final amounts donated to each charity

All of the charities are described and linked below the poll and I encourage people to make their own donations as well. If everyone who votes (and is able to donate) gives even $1 to the charity they vote for then it could add up quickly. Let's drive those donations!

Children Not Numbers: An organization providing immediate support and long-term rehabilitation for children in Gaza, as well as evacuating children to states equipped to manage their healthcare needs

Crips for eSIMs for Gaza: A fundraiser organized by the Disability Visibility Project which purchases eSIMs for Gaza to allow Palestinians to maintain contact with the outside world

Direct Aid Initiative & Encampment: An initiative organized by Operation Olive Branch to provide direct aid to families in Gaza and establish a family encampment which will house ~300 displaced individuals. (Operation Olive Branch also hosts a spreadsheet of verified fundraisers which spotlights different ones, found here)

Gaza Emergency Appeal: A fundraiser by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) which serves to provide families with lifesaving food and water and repair UNRWA shelters. (Also remember to click for Palestine)

Life for Gaza: A donation drive organized by the Municipality of Gaza to help them reinstate essential water services

Medical Aid for Palestinians: An organization that provides immediate medical aid to those in great need while also developing local capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system

Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: A humanitarian organization in Palestine providing urgent medical care and humanitarian aid to children in Gaza

Palestinian Red Crescent: A National Society in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement which provides humanitarian assistance and health and social services to Palestinians

Revive Gaza's Farmlands: A project organized by the Arab Group for Protection of Nature which aims to rehabilitate Gaza’s agricultural sector and restore local food systems to combat famine, counter the blockade, and build food sovereignty

Vegetables, Food, and Water for Palestinian Families: A fundraiser organized by the volunteer group Ele Elna Elak and shared by Bisan which provides food, water, and other necessities to families in Gaza
