THREAD: Israel has already violated the ceasefire in Gaza. The international community must ensure Israel abides by the ceasefire going forward.
The day after the Gaza ceasefire went into effect, an Israeli sniper shot and killed a Palestinian child named Zakaria as he was returning to his home in Rafah. The Israeli soldier then shot at a man who tried to reach Zakaria’s body.
Israel has a history of violating ceasefire agreements in Gaza. These violations often receive little coverage in mainstream US media, allowing Israel to keep killing Palestinians with impunity.

THREAD: The Human Toll of Israel’s Genocide in Gaza Cannot be Overstated

With the backing of the US, Israel has unleashed horror after horror on the people of Gaza, where nearly half of the population are children, for over 15 months.

Here's what you need to know ⬇️
In 15 months of committing genocide in Gaza, Israeli soldiers have killed over 70,000 Palestinians through traumatic injury alone, according to estimates from medical journal @TheLancet.

Nearly 60% of the Palestinians Israel has killed were children, women, and the elderly.
Israel has also killed thousands of Palestinians through deliberate starvation, destroying medical facilities & blocking necessities—including food, medicine, and water—from entering Gaza.

THREAD: @Columbia University pushed law professor Katherine Franke to resign after 25 years of teaching at the university because she showed solidarity with students who opposed Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

She’s not alone.
In an appalling violation of the principles of academic freedom, faculty and students across the country have been targeted, harassed, and even assaulted for standing against genocide.
Universities should be promoting academic freedom by allowing students and professors the freedom to express their ideas without retaliation.

THREAD: Over 12,000 Palestinians need an urgent medical evacuation from Gaza to save their lives, but between May and December 2024, Israel approved just 400 evacuations.

Source: @WHO
Israel’s genocide and mass starvation of Palestinians has left countless people with life-altering injuries, illnesses, amputations, and medical complications in need of urgent attention.
But Israel has systematically destroyed Gaza’s healthcare system, bombing hospitals and killing and abducting medical professionals.

THREAD: Israel has destroyed 69% of buildings in Gaza, leaving countless Palestinian families without a home.

It will take decades to rebuild.
With the exception of 4 days in November 2023, Israel has bombed Gaza every day for over 15 months.

Satellite imagery shows that Israel has destroyed at least 69% of all buildings in Gaza.
Israel has destroyed 60,368+ structures in Gaza, wiping out more than 245,123 homes and apartments.

It has damaged at least 170,812 more buildings.

This ceasefire will save lives – but it won’t end the devastation Israel has wrought on the people of Gaza.
