Israel has suggested that the long-term aim of its military campaign in Gaza is to sever all links with the territory.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that once Hamas had been defeated, Israel would end its “responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip”.
Before the conflict, Israel supplied Gaza with most of its energy needs and monitored imports into the territory.
…
Birth rate in Gaza strip was 27.67/1,000 in 2022. Death rate 2.91/1,000. As a comparison, same figures in EU area are 8.7 and 11.5.
I also don’t understand why the death rate is so much lower in the gaza strip. Perhaps my source sucks, but if it’s true, it sure explains the age thing.
edit Oh wait, of course it makes sense when the population is so young, but doesn’t say much about the conditions there really, either good or bad.
Something like 80% of the water they get from Isreal is contaminated.
The Israeli government counts the calories of the food they receive so they get the minimum amount to sustain their life.
The health care isn’t great (obviously)
And if you don’t know what “mowing the lawn” is, look it up.
Would’ve been nice if all the foreign aid that was supposed to go to improving the water situation there would have gone to improving the water situation there.
Perhaps IDF is doing that this time as well, but it also sounds like they’re ripping it off by the roots this time. Dunno if that’s something they actually can do.
The IOF literally seal water wells with cement.
On top of that, you can’t get cement to build with in Gaza in order to build desalination facilities, even if they wanted to.
