Leaflets reportedly threaten forced expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza
Leaflets have reportedly appeared in Gaza threatening Palestinians with forced expulsion and suggesting that “neither America nor Europe” cares about their fate.
Regional media reported the existence of the leaflets after a copy of the alleged document was posted to social media.
“Reconsider your position. The world map will not change if all the people of Gaza cease to exist. No one will feel for you, and no one will ask about you. You have been left alone to face your inevitable fate,” the text states.
How is that not crystal clear proof of genocidal intent.

Bathing once every 10 days: The reality of northern Gaza’s water crisis
Amid towering piles of rubble and destruction, mother of five Faten Abu Haloub, her family and in-laws have set up adjacent tents on the ruins of what used to be their extended family home.
Her husband Karam’s parents – 60-year-old Dalal and 65-year-old Nasser – have eight children: three sons and five daughters, of whom two still live at home. Home is now the little tent next to Karam and Faten’s with a fire pit in front and makeshift “zones”.
There’s the kitchen – no more than a few wooden planks to rest cooking utensils and their meagre food supplies on – near the fire.
Off to the side is the toilet, a stone-lined hole dug in the sand that serves as a latrine with more stones marking out a tiny bathing area, the whole section shielded by blankets draped over sticks stuck upright in the ground.

No mobile homes to shelter Palestinians enter Gaza: Media office
Gaza’s Government Media Office says no mobile homes have entered the Gaza Strip for displaced Palestinians. It said a “limited number” of mobile homes had entered the Strip, but they have been designated for use by international organisations.
“We need at least 60,000 mobile homes and 200,000 tents to provide shelter for thousands of families,” it said, adding that less than half the tents needed had entered the Gaza Strip.
For weeks, Israel has refused to allow mobile homes into Gaza to provide shelter to displaced Palestinians despite it having been agreed upon in the ceasefire.
