While starving Gaza and its 80% refugee population, Israel is expanding its war on Palestinian refugees—and on their very ‘refugee-ness’—in the West Bank. Our updated analysis shows that the Israeli military is continuing to carve up the refugee camps of Tulkarm, Jenin and Nur Shams to establish new military routes, displace Palestinians, and dismantle historic centres of resistance. By demolishing homes and repeatedly uprooting Palestinians, Israel is not only forcing them from place to place—itself a form of physical and psychological warfare—but attempting to erase the fact that these locations were ever refugee camps at all and weaken Palestinian demand for return. Each wave of displacement seeks to dissolve the Palestinian refugee identity and undermine the population’s political, historical and legal claims.

In Gaza, the most basic human need has become a nightmare. Share our latest 👇, which shows the toll of Israel's weaponization of hunger on Palestinian children, with your community. Take it with you to protests, use it to shed light on Israel's impunity. #ArmsEmbargoNow

As the Israeli "aid" scheme, staffed by US mercenaries, begins in Gaza, there is already a report of a Palestinian being kidnapped when he went to get one of the small boxes of food. His family says he went to Muraj Crossing aid distribution center. "To our shock, he called us under threat from Israeli intelligence officers, demanding information about one of our relatives with whom we’ve had no contact since the beginning of the war. "When we were unable to provide the information the army requested, communication was cut off, and we were later informed that he was transferred to a detention center. He is now considered missing." Here is a statement from Eyad Amawi from the Gaza Relief Committees describing the overall situation with the "aid" distribution:

This is what’s left of #Gaza for 2.1million people; and it’s shrinking daily. Water wells, health facilities, shelters, agricultural land, essential supplies and homes are unreachable. Airstrikes regularly happen in the areas into which people have been displaced. Nowhere is safe

1/6 First responders should never be a target. Yet today @UNOCHA supported @PalestineRCS and Civil Defense to retrieve colleagues from a mass grave in #Rafah #Gaza that was marked with the emergency light from one of their crushed ambulances.

Skriver i AP om hvordan vi bør innrette vår utenrikspolitikk i en kaotisk og farlig verden. I motsetning til hva H og FrP mener må Norge fortsette å prioritere et konsekvent forsvar av folkeretten, og investere i int konfliktløsning og globalt samarbeid aftenposten.no/meninger/debat…

An Israeli government decision threatens to further disrupt the work of INGOs in the OPT and could have disastrous consequences for Palestinians living under occupation. Read the full statement by civil society organizations in Israel condemning the decision👇

Bra at Norge @Utenriksdept har stått i bresjen for en FN-resolusjon om humanitær tilgang til palestinerne. UNRWA og livreddende nødhjelp må beskyttes!

1/10 There seems to be no limit to the cruelty inflicted on Palestinians in #Gaza. For over 40 days, people in North Gaza have been under siege: surrounded, bombed, denied the basic means of survival and ordered to flee under threat. A🧵
