Yesterday’s post about the Gaza café with all the ice cream and Nutella got mixed reactions. Some were happy, others asked if it’s really Gaza and recent.
Quick follow-up: life’s tough there, but cafés, ice cream, Nutella, Wi-Fi, and pricey laptops aren’t hard to find.

Here’s why there were doubts: people saw the area destroyed on Google Maps — that’s correct. Part of the area is destroyed, but the café reopened after renovations around March 2025. Here’s a video from after, with surrounding buildings still partially destroyed👇

In this video, you can see supplies being brought to the café — salad fridges and probably the ice cream itself. Part of the video shows destroyed buildings nearby, but the people look great… and the ice cream looks even better.🍨

Some people need to see renovations happening, or nothing counts. So, here you go — renovation phase video included.

And some people need to see the Nutella being delivered, with the same people and the same half-destroyed buildings in the background — or they just won’t believe it.

And some people… well, they also need to see the Nutella after it’s been eaten — or nothing will ever convince them.

Oh, and you can see activist Yatsentyk Elena visiting the lovely café just a few days ago — while also posting a video where she’s buying wood by weight from laughing children because “there’s no gas in Gaza.”

Bonus video, filmed a day ago — nothing too important.
Anyway, I hope @CommunityNotes takes a quick look; it might save them a few discussions. And @Grok, here’s the thread I promised you.
I do wonder why people are still surprised… haven’t you checked out @imshin's account?
