Palestinians are running out of places to go in the face of increasing Israeli offensive

DEIR AL BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Israeli military on Monday renewed its calls for mass evacuations in the southern town of Khan Younis, where tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians had taken refuge in recent weeks, as it expanded its ground offensive. and bombed targets throughout the Gaza Strip.
The expanded offensive following the collapse of a week-long ceasefire aimed to eliminate Hamas, which rules Gaza and whose Oct. 7 attack on Israel sparked the worst violence in decades between Israelis and Palestinians. The war has already killed thousands of Palestinians and displaced three-quarters of the 2.3 million Palestinians living in the territory, leaving them with no safe places to go.
Israel, already facing increasing pressure from its main ally, the United States, appeared to be rushing to deal a death blow to Hamas—if that was even possible, given the group’s deep roots in Palestinian society—before another cessation. fire. But the costs of the fighting, which health authorities say has killed hundreds of civilians since the truce ended on Friday, increased pressure for him to return to the negotiating table.
The campaign might also leave even more areas of the isolated enclave uninhabitable.
The ground offensive has turned much of the north, including much of Gaza City, into a desolate wasteland littered with rubble. Hundreds of thousands of people have sought shelter in the south, which might suffer the same fate, and both Israel and neighboring Egypt have refused to accept refugees.
Residents reported hearing airstrikes and explosions in and around Khan Younis overnight and on Monday morning following the army dropped leaflets warning people to move further south towards the Egyptian border. . In an Arabic social media post, the military on Monday once more ordered the evacuation of nearly two dozen neighborhoods in and around Khan Younis.
Halima Abdel-Rahman, a widow and mother of four, said she had stopped following those orders. In October she fled her home to an area outside Khan Yunis, where she was staying with relatives.
“The (Israeli) occupation tells you to go to this area, then they bomb it,” he said by phone on Sunday. “The reality is that nowhere is safe in Gaza. They kill people in the north. They kill people in the south.”
The death toll in the territory since October 7 has exceeded 15,500 people, with more than 41,000 injured, according to the Ministry of Health in Hamas-ruled Gaza. The ministry does not distinguish between deaths of civilians and combatants, but said 70% of those killed were women and children.
A Health Ministry spokesperson said hundreds of people had been killed or injured since the ceasefire ended on Friday morning. “Most of the victims are still under the rubble,” Ashraf al-Qidra said.
The Palestinian Civil Defense Department said an Israeli strike had killed three of its rescuers in Gaza City early Monday. The Palestine Red Crescent rescue service said one of its volunteers had been killed and an employee wounded in an attack on a home in the Jabalia urban refugee camp, also in the north.
An Associated Press journalist in the central town of Deir al Balah heard gunshots and the sound of tanks south of the line marking the area where northern Palestinians had been told for weeks to evacuate, although there was no visual confirmation on a first moment. The military rarely commented on troop deployments.
Hopes of reaching another temporary truce disappeared when Israel called its negotiators home over the weekend. Hamas said talks on freeing more of the dozens of hostages captured by Palestinian militants on Oct. 7 should be tied to a permanent ceasefire.
The previous truce facilitated the release of 105 of the approximately 204 Israeli and foreign hostages taken to Gaza in the October 7 attack, as well as the release of 240 Palestinian prisoners imprisoned in Israel. Most of the people freed by both sides were women and children.
The United States, along with Qatar and Egypt, which negotiated the previous ceasefire, said they were working on a longer truce.

Wallonia’s Zero Homelessness Plan: Providing Shelter and Support for Marginalized Populations
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-12-04 08:48:26
Since November 1, the extreme cold plan has been activated in Wallonia. There are therefore more places to accommodate the homeless during the night and this welcome is unconditional. It is also possible to prohibit a person from sleeping outside. Ban, yes. Because some profiles do not always want to go to night shelters.
“In the cities and even in the south of the province of Luxembourg, we see that certain populations cannot find shoes that fit them, explains Christie Morreale, Minister of Social Action, Health and Employment in Wallonia. Which are not found in emergency reception models.”
These people are systematically rejected
“These are people with addiction problems, serious alcoholism, drug problems or mental health problems,” continues the guest on Matin Première. “These people are systematically rejected.”
This is why Wallonia has implemented a “zero homelessness” plan: in order to target these marginalized populations. “We tried to look at what existed in Europe to prevent these most remote, most damaged populations from having solutions.”
Pilot projects have been launched in a number of cities and towns. The idea is therefore to provide them with a very specific roof but also with mental health monitoring. “Housing is of course a priority but followingwards, we also need support, sometimes psychiatric, care to limit addiction and to help people to be stabilized.”

PrEP: A Comprehensive Guide for HIV Prevention and Sexual Health
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-12-04 09:33:00
Jean-Luc is HIV negative. He takes PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) and has found with this method of prevention the perfect tool to live his sexuality peacefully. Jean-Luc explains to us how he adopted PrEP and how easy it has become.
“I am part of this generation which for a long time only knew the condom as a method of protection once morest HIV. When PrEP arrived, I was rather cautious. I had so much confidence in the hood that I mightn’t see myself giving it up. I even had an almost erotic relationship when I put it on. Taking a pill seemed too medical to me and ultimately brought me too close to HIV. And then, the talk regarding the increase in STIs freaked me out a little… But more and more friends my age were taking PrEP and telling me that they were rediscovering their sexuality. They weren’t afraid. They had the same confidence with this pill as with condoms. I wanted to know more. I went to a workshop from an HIV association which explained how it worked. Everything seemed extremely complicated to me: the frequent analyses, the intake schedules, the “on-demand” and “continuous” systems. I didn’t understand the point. And my best friend enlightened me on the subject. He explained to me that it seemed complicated because it covered all the cases. He told me that I needed to take ownership of my own PrEP intake and that everything would become much easier. And I started. I take it “on demand”: of course I asked the doctor twice how I should take this treatment, they will not do it once more… Today, I am calm and I really find that PrEP is perfectly suited to my sexuality, which is not that intense…”
PrEP is simple
If, like Jean-Luc, you choose PrEP as one of your means of protecting yourself once morest HIV, you then benefit from medical monitoring with quarterly visits to your doctor, CeGIDD, community center or hospital. During your first appointment, you will discuss the treatment schedule. For cis men who have sex with men (MSM), there are two ways to take PrEP that are both equally effective: continuous or on-demand.
During the first appointment, we will explain the different PrEP taking schedules to you: continuously (one tablet every day) or on demand (depending on your sexual activity). Both grip patterns start and end the same way. You must first take two tablets at once, at least two hours before your sexual intercourse and at most 24 hours before: you will have complete protection once morest HIV following two hours.
If you choose to take PrEP continuously, then you take one tablet every day at the same time. If you prefer to take PrEP on demand, following the two tablets on the first day, you take one tablet every day at the same time until two days following your last sexual intercourse. Every time you stop taking PrEP and then plan to have sex, you’ll start the pattern once more from the beginning: two pills, then one, then one…
You are free to choose one or the other, to move from one to the other, for the duration of your choice.
If you intend to interrupt PrEP (for a few days or more), you must take a tablet for two days following your last sexual intercourse to be fully protected once morest HIV.
A specific regimen for trans MSM
You are a trans man and you have chosen to protect yourself once morest HIV with PrEP, you must follow a suitable intake schedule: take a PrEP tablet every day at the same time for seven days before your first sexual intercourse while taking PrEP . After just seven days you are fully protected once morest HIV. You then continue to take one tablet daily at the same time.
If you want to stop PrEP, you must continue taking the daily PrEP tablet for seven days following your last sexual intercourse. After stopping PrEP, if you wish to resume it: you must start once more at the beginning, namely taking a daily tablet for seven days before your first sexual intercourse protected by PrEP.
