IDF Reiterates Ban on Gazans Entering the Sea AND Israel Blocks Medical Equipment From Entering Gaza Strip, Citing

[Nanjeanne]

I can’t even think of any other reason for these things happening in Gaza now but the destruction of a people. The links are archive from Haaretz.

The IDF reiterated its wartime ban on entering the Mediterranean Sea yesterday, warning that swimming could 'endanger' lives. Palestinians in Gaza say the sea was their last reprieve from Israel's destructive military campaign, as well as one of the few places to bathe or escape heat

During the last 21 months of war, access to basic services and infrastructure has steadily eroded across Gaza amid Israel's ongoing military campaign and restrictions on humanitarian aid. For many Gazans, the Mediterranean Sea served as one of the last remaining outlets for relief from the war, whether to cool off, bathe or fish for food. With temperatures routinely high, and with the territory's drinking water network largely nonfunctional, the closure of Gaza's shoreline has sparked deep frustration and despair.
"I'm literally dizzy from hunger, thirst and the heat," said Rajaa Qudeih, a 31-year-old mother of two from Deir al-Balah. "Gaza is going through the worst famine, we haven't eaten, and we can't even find a piece of bread."

AND in other story

Israel is preventing the entry of medical equipment into the Gaza Strip, claiming it is "dual-use" and could be exploited by Hamas or other terrorist groups not only for its intended medical purposes but also for weaponry or infrastructure development.

The complete list of banned equipment, which was compiled in June and obtained by Haaretz, includes essential items for Gaza's healthcare system, including operating tables, scalpels and components for ultrasound machines, as well as items that could be used to build shelters for the civilian population.
Aid organizations submitted a request to allow the items in after all equipment was banned from entering the Gaza Strip at the outbreak of the war, with the exception of a limited list approved by the security establishment.

The expanded list rejected by Israel includes, among other things, tents, tarpaulins, storage units, solar panels, fire extinguishers, batteries and more.

I have no words for this that won’t get me banned I fear. My outrage boils over.
