‘What kind of life is this?’ Dire conditions in increasingly cramped southern Gaza
Palestinians displaced inside Gaza as Israel pushes on with its ground offensive describe cramped living conditions, sky-high prices for food, children going hungry and poor sanitation, amid severe limits on food and supplies entering the coastal strip.

What's especially sad is every day they're in this condition, that's another day where they fall behind because they can't educate their children.
This is what genocide looks like. Zionists are the new Nazis.
I think about this all the time. I think about how unhappy it makes me to see a day wasted. If my kid spends a day in front of the TV I worry that he's missing out on something. And that assumes we have TV. I think about a few hours in an airport, and how erratic and miserable it makes my kid and the adults, and being stuck in this state while also constantly running from hellfire raining down, never getting clean, never getting a good meal, never getting a good night's rest... Hell does not seem sufficient to describe it.
Btw, I think the comparison between Zionism and Nazism is unhelpful. It's not unjustified, but the comparison obscures more than it reveals, imo. I think saying that Israel and the US are committing naked genocide captures the situation pretty effectively, and produces much more effective discussions online. As soon as the Nazi comparison comes up, I think it gives people who are uncertain what to believe an excuse to dismiss the criticisms against the Israeli government, and defenders of the genocide an easy way to divert the conversation away from Israel's recent and not so recent war crimes.
