For Palestinians in Gaza, water and safety matters more than Trump’s blueprint
Palestinians in Gaza are not paying a lot of attention at this point to President Trump’s plan for Gaza.
Instead, they are worried about their daily needs and struggles. There are people who wake up and search for water. They walk for miles for clean water, or they wait for hours for a water truck to pull up to their area.
It’s unclear how Trump’s plan for Gaza will move things on the ground. But there will be no immediate change for civilians here. Creating another international body does not translate to a shift in living conditions. Committees or bodies like these … take months or years to materialise.
What people here want is free, efficient access to food and water, protection from bombardment, functional border crossings and, most importantly, a clear reconstruction plan.
Polish company accused of supplying explosives for Israel’s war on Gaza
A Poland state-owned company has been accused of playing a crucial role in aiding Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, providing a key explosive used in bombs and artillery that have been widely deployed in the Strip.
A report released on Tuesday by a group of pro-Palestine organisations found the explosives maker Nitro-Chem to have supplied US arms companies with trinitrotoluene (TNT) for use in military shells, bombs and grenades that are exported to Israel, a top US ally.
Poland, the only major TNT producer in the EU and NATO.
Israel is known to have used unguided bombs of the Mk 80 series in the bombing of Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp in November 2023, which could amount to a war crime
