Amazing how many people were fired over Kirk for 1/10th of what all these people are saying

#Israel has revoked the registration of @msf.ca and other aid organizations from #Gaza. What’s at stake is people.

This is winter in #Gaza. People are facing a third winter of cold temperatures, torrential rain and heavy winds after being repeatedly forcibly displaced. Conditions have destroyed and flooded the makeshift shelters people are living in.
