The humanitarian zone in Gaza was first delineated on May 6, 2024. It appeared on maps distributed by Avichay Adraee, the army's Arabic-language spokesman, to Gaza's civilian population from that date until the January cease-fire. While its borders shifted from time to time, the zone itself remained in place – a 62-square-kilometer area comprising 16 percent of the Gaza Strip.
The area, a sandy open space by the sea, is mainly used for agriculture and is located in Gaza's southwest. Throughout the war, Adraee and other IDF spokespeople repeatedly called on Gazans to evacuate to the area "for their safety." IDF marked off the area in yellow.
The last time the army released a map showing the humanitarian zone was on January 12. On January 15, four days before the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas was due to go into force, the army printed a map with evacuation orders and no longer included a humanitarian zone. The maps have stayed the same since the IDF started issuing them again after it ended the cease-fire.
During the cease-fire, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians left the humanitarian zone for their homes in North Gaza. However, as the fighting expanded, especially in the Rafah area, tens of thousands of displaced people returned to Muwasi, filling the area again with tents. Residents and humanitarian organizations say they consider this area relatively safe, since it was previously designated as a humanitarian zone and has almost no buildings or infrastructure.

Despite this, the UN says the area has been subject to 23 Israeli attacks. According to Palestinian officials, most of the dead in these attacks have been women and children. Last Wednesday, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense organization, 37 Gazans were killed after an attack caused a fire to spread across tents in Muwasi.
Since the resumption of fighting, the IDF has issued more than 20 evacuation orders from various parts of the Gaza Strip. Humanitarian sources indicate that the orders have no expiration date, and it is unclear whether people will be allowed to return to areas designated for evacuation after the fighting.
A recent UN report estimated that 69 percent of Gaza's land is designated as no-go zones, restricting Palestinian traffic either due to buffer zone designations or evacuation orders.

>go to tumblr >ask the tumblr user if their solution to environmental collapse is an actual solution or just a consumer identity >they don't understand >pull out illustrated diagram explaining what's an actual solution to environmental collapse and what's just a consumer identity >they laugh and say "it's a solution" >look inside >it's just a consumer identity

i'm sorry to be that person but buying less shit and spending less money in general is actually such a salve to so many of our personal/political/environmental problems. saving your own money and not mindlessly giving it to corporations who are ruining our world, walking instead of driving, buying second hand or swapping with friends or joining a buy nothing group or picking your furniture up off the street, reusing things until they're totally dead and then giving them a new life as something else, eating cheap, whole foods - dried beans and rice and seasonal produce, or dumpster diving if you're so inclined - or growing your own, sharing what you have with others, learning how to make and fix things, singing and playing and dancing with people, these things don't need to cost money and for so much of human history they didn't. we all need to get out of the mindset that we can buy our way into happiness because we can't, but we can create communion with the places and people around us and connect in a way that is not facilitated by big profit making machines. stop spending your hard earned money and time on things that don't give a shit about you, and focus on creating a world that you want to live in, stop letting them tell you that it's not worth your effort because it is.

stop giving non mammalian things nipples and breasts
also stop giving non mammalian things the ability to produce milk
and stop giving non mammalian creatures fur/hair
also mammal, if you don't know, is derived from mammary ie boobs, if its not mammal that ain't got mammaries
"oh but i gave her another reasons for boobs not related to reproduction!! its for warmth fat storage/etc some other reason" okay? then men get boobs to if youre taking the mammalian logic to explain chests, give the male of your monmammalian speices breasts as well or have no breasts at all
i will not hear your nonsense, gooner, remove the breasts

my other post has lost traction so heres another one i apologize truly im sorry
we are still far fucked up from the rent situation we NARROWLY avoided being kicked out but now we are heavily struggling to keep the lights on and have food to eat. at this rate we’ll keep having to pay the rent late bc we’re so fucked up from this shit and if that keeps happening it is ALSO grounds for eviction.
it has been freezing and snowing with insane winds here recently and being in a rural area with very little help for the homeless- i genuinely don’t know how we’d even survive if we got thrown out.
we have nothing literally zero dollars ($0) to our names. i know shit is hard for everyone right now so pls don’t contribute if you don’t have the means but if you do and would like to help we’d be incredibly beyond grateful:

judy would've been a good character if she wasn't in a disney movie. have Zootopia 2 be directed by the Safdie Brothers.
honestly i think there are fictional depictions of good cops (or even just cops as interesting characters) that, despite being copaganda to some degree, i can cut people some slack for liking for myriad of other reasons, especially if i know they’re keeping ACAB in mind. i just think it’s particularly funny to get Zootopia people whipped up for some reason. born and bred hater. cradle to grave i will be hating. know this
