The mainstream news is reporting on the floods as if this is a natural disaster. This is NOT a natural disaster. This is a disasater created by genocide!
Israel has dropped over 150,000 tonnes of explosives on Gaza since October 2023 - exceeding the combined force of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs eightfold! Israel has destroyed or damaged 92% of buildings in Gaza.
Despite the “ceasefire,” Israel bombs Gaza and blocks food, fuel, medical supplies and reconstruction material from entering Gaza. 1.5 million Palestinians continue to live in overcrowded tent camps.
Israel’s illegal occupation of more than 60% of Gaza has forced over 400,000 Palestinians to live in areas highly vulnerable to flooding.
Palestinians are starting their FOURTH winter during this period of escalated genocide. 12 babies died from hypothermia last winter in Gaza. This year’s winter has gotten off to an even worse start. Over 70,000 tents have been destroyed by storms in Gaza. At some displacement camps water levels have risen as much as 12-14 inches due to rain on November 7th. On November 9th, 3 children and one woman were killed when a sand embankment collapsed because of heavy rains onto tents.
Municipal and civil defense officials can’t deal with the flooding because of fuel shortages and damage to essential equipment. Gaza needs more assistance NOT an Israeli blockade!
These conditions created by Israel AND funded by the U.S. are killing Palestinians. There are 50,000 tents and food waiting at the border but Israel blocks their entrance. The flood in Gaza is an Israeli made catastrophe.
WAMM demands an end to U.S. aid to Israel, that MN divest from Israeli genocide and immediately allow aid into Gaza!

Call your member of Congress to demand action! The U.S. needs to demand Israel let in aid now & for the U.S. to stop funding Israel’s genocidal attacks on Gaza! Call 202-224-3121 to get connected to your representative.
