All the info i saw was from the live tv broadcasts. I'll have a look for written articles on their site, you can have a look at their site too, in the meantime, if you want to.

Copying my reply from higher up in the thread:

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

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.

Nice reference

Here you go good sir: \

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.

Wtf you're just stating facts and giving a different opinion, and you're being downvoted for that. Truly i don't understand

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?

Well if you're all for white minority rule in SouthAfrica, then i don't think you'resomeone i would want to interact with. So not sure if you're trolling or not. But in case you're not:

It's a move in the right direction to break the stagnation of the ruling party at the moment. If it takes coalitions to do that then so be it.

Like i said in my reply to someone else, the ANC were literally the saving grace of the majority of the country after Apartheid. Their constitution and the country's constitution is so ideal. We would have sung the ANCs praises from then until now if only they jad kept their promises that they made post Apartheid. And there was a will and the money to do so, but unfortunately corruption got in the way. Of course it was also the IMF that imposed their usual ridiculous conditions on the country. But there's no doubt that corruption was the final nail in the coffin, so to speak.

Ok, i understand now, i didn't understand your reference before.

That is a very real worry, but i believe it's still a step in the right direction.

It's by no means perfect in any way, but we have to move away from the stagnancy of the ruling party at the moment. It's a hell of a pity to see what they've become, they started off as literally the saving grace of the majority of the country. Their party constitution is actually the most idealistic. But corruption has completely destroyed all the good intentions of the founders of the ANC constitution and the country's constitution.

Yep, this is a step in the right direction for South African politics. I think coalitions will start becoming a norm in the near future of the country.

It's a bit of a misconception that the general population has strong ties to the west. It's mostly the minority upper middle to rich class( that happens to still be mostly white) that are west-aligned.

The vast majority of the population are unaligned.

It's been quite a common incorrect perception to equate the minority moneyed classes' opinions and ideoligies to the that of the majority population, when it's simply false.

I sometimes feel like the DA would damn us all for the sake of a little publicity

As someone from the global south, thank you. You perfectly put into words exactly how a very many people around me are feeling.

This us vs you mentality is really rubbing a lot of people the wrong way, and telling us that our neutrality means that we're supporting the global west/ north's enemy is frankly insulting, considering what the global west/ north has done in the past and is still doing now.
