Water Fact – September 8, 2025
While Israel’s forces level many of the remaining buildings in Gaza City and continue to slaughter Gaza’s residents seeking food from the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the word ‘humanitarian’ has again been pressed into service in a ghoulish manner.
On Sept. 6, the army announced it was creating a new 24 square mile ‘humanitarian zone’ for Palestinians fleeing from Gaza City in the now largely destroyed southern city of Khan Yunis. The zone would, the army claims, include hospitals, water pipelines and desalination facilities – infrastructure that it has been busy destroying throughout the Gaza Strip.
Shortly before bombing high rise towers in Gaza City, army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Avichay Adraee told the water-and-food-starved city residents on social media: "Take this opportunity to move early to the humanitarian zone and join the thousands of people who have already gone there.” The estimated 200,000 residents remaining in Gaza City are being offered two options: move south or be killed.
According to The Washington Post, the next phase of the planning process that created the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation will be GREAT (Gaza Reconstruction, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust). Can you get more dystopian than this?
