New ECMWF data shows the *strongest subtropical jet stream* in its forecast history blowing across the Pacific and U.S. this winter into next spring, with record-strength winds predicted from California to Florida. There's even a connection to Europe. El Niño fuels more thunderstorms near the equator, which release heat high into the atmosphere. That extra warmth strengthens the Hadley circulation and steepens the temperature gradient between the tropics and the mid-latitudes, which strengthens the subtropical jet. And that's why such a stormy winter is anticipated across the western, southern and eastern United States.

If Gaza were a stone, its back would break under the weight of exhaustion and its foundations would crumble under the weight of abandonment. So how much more so the hearts of its people, ground down by pain and slaughtered by neglect and oblivion, without guilt or mercy. Pray for us.

"This unprecedented surge in birth defects is the direct result of the use of internationally banned weapons and toxic chemical materials that choked the air and settled into the soil and water, causing bodies to inherit the horrors of war before emerging into life..."
كارثة مدوية.. قفزة بتشوهات المواليد في قطاع غزة: 260 حالة بـ 9 أشهر ودعوات لتحقيق دولي طبي لمعرفة السبب ! هذه القفزة غير مسبوقة، وهي النتيجة المباشرة لاستخدام أسلحة محرمة دولياً ومواد كيميائية سامة اختنقت بها الأجواء واستقرت في التربة والمياه، لتتوارث الأجساد كارثة الحرب قبل أن تخرج إلى الحياة.. الأخطر أن الأطباء يشيرون إلى عوامل محتملة تستدعي التحقيق، منها سوء تغذية الأمهات، والتعرض للملوثات، وانقطاع الرعاية الطبية أثناء الحمل.. وقد طالبت وزارة الصحة بتحقيق علمي دولي مستقل لكشف أسباب هذه الزيادة. العدوان لم يكتفي بقتل الأحياء، بل يلاحق أطفال غزة وهم في بطون أمهاتهم ليشوّه خِلقتهم ويحرمهم حقهم في حياة سوية. ولإدراك حجم الارتفاع: • سُجلت 184 حالة طوال عام 2022. • ارتفع العدد إلى 322 حالة خلال عام 2025، بزيادة 75% مقارنة بعام 2022. • وخلال تسعة أشهر فقط من عام 2026، تجاوز عدد الحالات المسجلة حصيلة عام 2022 بأكمله ما يحدث ليس حرباً تقليدية، بل إبادة متوحشة تزرع العاهات وتسرق مستقبل الجيل القادم. - المصدر: تقارير طبية وحقوقية رسمية- وزارة الصحة في غزة.

I know the community of Masafer Yatta well. My father has many friends there and I used to go with him quite often. Sadly nowadays it is not easy even for us to go to this area. This is one of the poorest communities in Palestine and the one who suffers the most. Easy to prey on the weak. Easy to prey on the poor. Easy to prey on the non violent. 💔💔💔

O world... Our children are drowning in rainwater, their bodies trembling from the freezing cold inside their tents, as they face death right now. O world, can you hear us?! Can you hear the cries of our children?! How much longer will the world remain silent as our children die?!

The entire Sultan Camp was flooded in the northwest of Beit Lahia. Tents housing displaced people in the Gaza port were flooded due to heavy rainfall, as people attempted to salvage their mattresses and belongings from the water. 💔

Super El Niño 🔥is raging across the Equatorial Pacific -- likely the strongest in 1,000 years, and you're alive to witness its magnitude and power. Shields up! However, this stunning map shows "cooler blue🟦" over 2/3rds of the Lower 48 this winter for temperatures --> due to Pacific storm systems like "ice storms" and "atmospheric rivers" from a firehose / pineapple express🍍which will lead to Nor'easters (blockbuster blizzards). Meteorologists now have the "answer key" for the upcoming winter, and there is no going back. This is "baked in the cake" and will unfold exactly as we feared: planetary warmth is higher in the background, and put a turbocharged and super-moist atmosphere on top. Prepare for perhaps the craziest winter in your lifetime, until the next one in the early 2030s.

4th year of this extreme genocide, 100 2 into occupation of apartheid Israel Not a single country with power has shown an ounce of humanity Despicable
With the first storm, displaced people in Gaza don't sleep; instead, they spend the night standing, trying to salvage what remains of their belongings from the rainwater, while their tattered tents fail to protect them from the winter's cold and harshness.

The Israeli occupation has left no house or tower without disfiguring its appearance. Today, i captured this scene of one of Gaza’s towers. From a distance, it looks as though it has escaped damage. But as you get closer, you realize that the building is no longer fit for habitation. They destroyed it, but the stones refused to fall, and so it continues to stand.

للأسف، غَرِقت الخيام، واستيقظ الأطفال والرجال في هذا الوقت المتأخر من الليل وقد بللهم الماء.. وها هم كل من حولي من أهل الخيام يحاولون تشبيث خيامهم وعمل مجرى للمياه.. لا سامح الله كل من رأى تحذيراتنا وصمت دون أن يغير ساكن، لا بارك الله في كل من رآنا نستغيث ولم يتحرك من أجلنا.

Families in Gaza are drowning right now. This is exactly what I repeatedly warned about over the past few days. I published dozens of posts, raising the alarm about this day and the rain that would flood tents and make people's suffering even worse. Now, everything we feared is happening. Tents are flooded, families are drowning in rainwater, and damaged buildings are at risk of collapsing on top of those living inside. I cannot describe the extent of this abandonment. No words are enough to capture this scene. We warned, we cried out, and we pleaded, but families were left alone to face this disaster. It is heartbreaking and deeply disappointing.

"They need everything that was taken away to be restored - schools, universities, housing, jobs. Instead the international community looks on."
Aid workers in Gaza are trying to help the population survive but warn a generation - if they survive - will battle the effects of malnutrition for the rest of their lives. Slow starvation continues, with limits placed even on warm clothes entering Gaza. They need food, water, clothing, medicines, wheelchairs, prosthetic limbs. They need the killing to stop. They need everything that was taken away to be restored - schools, universities, housing, jobs. Instead the international community looks on.

Rain is now falling heavily, and strong winds are blowing everywhere, creating extremely harsh and difficult conditions. Rainwater is seeping through the worn-out and shattered windows, damaged by the bombardment. We are facing incredibly difficult circumstances. Please keep us in your prayers. Pray that God protects us, shows us mercy, and gives us the strength to endure these harsh conditions.

If journalists like Courtney weren’t reporting from Lebanon we wouldn’t know that Israel is still killing people and demolishing homes. Because legacy media doesn’t care.

I built my life over 35 years, a family, and now, at 38, I live in a tattered, torn tent that offers no protection from the winter cold or the rain. It's hard to accept, but I am patient and trust in God's reward. 💔🤲🇵🇸

Israeli forces have begun demolishing the town of Qantara, Lebanon. 48 villages have been razed to the ground by the Israeli army, who are still occupying more than 60 towns and villages in Lebanon. This destruction is funded by the US and EU. This is Zionism.
