UN housing expert slams Israel as babies freeze to death in Gaza

Balakrishnan Rajagopal, the UN special rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, says he has warned for months that “more than a million Palestinians lack shelter” for winter conditions.

“Now babies are freezing to death,” Rajagopal added, noting that this is another “achievement” of Israel’s so-called “most moral army in the world”.

Several Palestinian babies have frozen to death in the past few nights in Gaza, including three who died of hypothermia in the so-called “humanitarian zone” in al-Mawasi.


How Israel uses Gaza as testing ground to export weapons globally

Antony Loewenstein, the author of the Palestine Laboratory, says Israel is using Palestinians as “guinea pigs to export oppressive weapons and technology globally”.

She also says Israel’s ties with its allies are not just about “a defence relationship”, but that it has become “an ideological model and ethnonationalist model” for these countries.

Western support fuelling Israel’s genocide in Gaza, UK legislator says

Zarah Sultana has decried the UK’s arms sales to Israel, noting that the Israeli military has destroyed the last semi-functional hospital in Gaza, and launched attacks on Yemen from which the WHO director-general “narrowly survived”.

“Remember the outrage when Israel first targeted hospitals in Gaza?” the Labour politician wrote on Twitter.

“Now, the last hospital in northern Gaza is destroyed, babies are freezing to death & the WHO Director-General narrowly survived an attack in Yemen. This genocide is fuelled by UK arms sales and Western support,” she said.
