Al Jazeera has just reported that water is trickling through to a few areas. No other details that I've seen yet.
Edit: it's only to one area of Khan Yunis in Gaza. And the infrastructure is destroyed there, so people are unable to get to the water as of yet. Palestinians are also reiterating that without electricity for the water pumps they're unable to get water from the tanks
It's crazy and scary at the same time how many countries are shifting towards right wing or outright fascist governments.
I'm not sure at this point in time, but I'll be looking out for that information too
Possibly. But Palestinians have also said that pipelines are damaged or destroyed by Israel's bombing in all areas if Gaza.
So if water is going through then it's sitting in huge tanks and not able to go through the pipelines to whichever houses/ buildings which are not yet rubble because of destroyed/ damaged pipes and no electricity to pump the water through any undamaged pipes.
So they probaby need to collect the water via water trucks. But there's no petrol either.
They could make the dangerous walk to the water tanks, but Israel has been bombing south Gaza as well, where everyone from northern Gaza was told to go.
According to an Al Jazeera journalist that's in southern gaza, the water still hasn't been turned on, despite what Israel said.
He also said it's pointless to say that Israel will turn the water back on without restoring the electricity, because electricity is needed to pump the water to Gaza.
So this just looks like a pr piece by Israel to look like they're doing something when they're not.
Perfectly put. Also, the amount of money needed to fix the current problems is huge. And getting that amount of money from the taxpaying base( even without corruption siphoning off money) is placing an incredibly heavy burden on ordinary taxpayers. It's a tragic situation.
Was the ambassador not repeatedly told by Niger's authorities to leave before this?
That was horrifying and so sad to watch. It also made me realise that most of us probably don't know enough about identifying nuclear contaminants.
I feel like even if we think we know of nuclear contaminants, identifying it and procedures on what to do in these situations should really be compulsory education for everyone.
Despite all the negativity of commenters relating to everything BRICS whenever there is a post on the subject, I'm very hopeful of BRICS. It's a good starting point.
I find that really strange. Nowhere in my comments did i say i want white minority rule in South Africa. In fact, you were the only one to mention it first. So how can you say the opposite of something i did not say?
