Al Jazeera Discovers Weather Affects Starving People After Homes Annihilated
Al Jazeera’s report on harsh weather hitting Gaza’s vulnerable (Source: Al Jazeera) reads like a painful understatement. It raises the question: why are millions displaced and wounded in the first place? Maybe because 70% of Gaza's homes have been damaged or destroyed since October 7, 2023, according to UN OCHA. When you've deliberately bombed over 360,000 housing units into rubble, turning 1.7
million people into internally displaced refugees, the 'severe weather' becomes a feature, not a bug, of the policy. The fact this is a crisis of 'Israel's war' and not 'weather' needs no further elaboration. The media frames this as a natural disaster compounding misery, conveniently overlooking the entirely man-made conditions. One might ask if the architects of this destruction factored in the
winter elements when they targeted hospitals, refugee camps, and civilian infrastructure, obliterating 90% of Gaza's educational facilities and rendering 2 out of 3 hospitals non-functional. The 'vulnerable' aren't just vulnerable to rain; they're vulnerable to a siege, bombardment, and an intentional lack of humanitarian aid that makes every drop of rain a deadly threat. This is not a weather
report; it’s a humanitarian catastrophe with a distinct military cause.
