How Israel's war on Palestinians became systematised cruelty

The intense heat inside the tents in Gaza is only part of the crisis, as swarms of flies and mosquitoes infest these tents as a result of the complete absence of sewage services and the decomposition of accumulated waste, making daily life unbearable.

My condolences to the US where their sitting president has publicly lost his mind and they have no mechanisms for removing an unfit president. Just as Bad is that if they did, they’d have JD Vance for president. What a kak time to be the US.
