Several of my friends here asked me if I’m in a safe place, but I struggle to explain the geography of Gaza and people from overseas struggle to understand it.

They last issued this map about a week ago.
🔴 The red zones are dangerous combat zones and must be evacuated. It’s a bit ridiculous how much of Gaza is in a red zone.
🟢 The green zone is mostly Al-Mawasi neighbourhood of Khan Yunis, they call it a humanitarian zone. It's overcrowded, it's impossible to find space there, and the main humanitarian organisation is the American GHF (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation), which I'd rather keep away from as much as I can. You may have heard of it.

🔵 The blue zone isn't called a humanitarian zone, so the army says they can get there anytime, but it's not an active combat zone, it shouldn't be too dangerous.
My family and I were stuck in Gaza City but we found land to pitch our tent in the blue zone, in Deir al-Balah, and we can evacuate to it (even though setting a tent and living in it is very difficult).
The red zone must be evacuated if we want to live. But most of Gaza is still very dangerous.

The Israeli army communicates with the people of Gaza through flyers thrown from aircraft but also through social media. They’ve got WhatsApp and Telegram channels and Facebook pages.

There are 2 main roads that allow to reach the south from the north: Al-Rashid Coastal Road, and Salah al-Din Road. With frequent surprise Israeli attacks, Salah al-Din Road has become the road of death. People use almost exclusively Al-Rashid Coastal Road.

The Mediterranean Sea is to the west of the Gaza Strip, the Gaza-Israel barrier circles everything, except in the south, where there is the Egypt-Gaza border. That border with Egypt is also under Israeli control. It’s a bit like if Canada controlled the US-Mexico border. Or if England controlled the Republic of Ireland-Northern Ireland border.
But the Egyptian government seems mostly ok with it anyway.

I hope this helps you to better understand where your friends from Gaza are, where I am, and how difficult the situation is.
Please feel free to ask me if you’ve got any questions.

@valhalla @ballalloi una delle cose che apprezzo di piú di debian é che non mi riempie xfce di software preinstallato

commovente oggi il funerale di Pasquale Pistorio, un grande europeo come mi ha scritto Hauser.
molto commoventi le dichiarazioni alla fine delle celebrazioni.
mi ha toccato in particolare quella del rappresentare del governo (di Singapore...)
spiccava l'assenza delle istituzioni nostrane

@ALFA magari! Solo qualche giorno di vacanza 😁

@ro Già.🤬

@snow ora delle prossime elezioni fa in tempo a devastare il mondo.

@phab vorrei fosse così...

@ro Dico solo che quando penso a lui e al suo alter ego israeliano, spero che esista davvero un dio e che un giorno ci facciano i conti.
