It's worth noting that the reason the beaver wants the water to be deeper in the first place is that the Beaver is using the deep water as a pantry:
All summer and fall, beavers gather up branches with the leaves they actually eat, and store it in the deep end of the Pond, where the cold water and limited oxygen keep the leaves fresh all winter, so when it's negative 20 outside, a beaver can take a dip out of it's lodge, grab some refrigerated leaves in the (relatively) warmer water and go back to it's cozy little nap hole while everything else is out there suffering and eating bark or the like.
So it's less "there's a leak in my house" and more "OH SHIT THE FRIDGE!!"
Bank of Palestine is leading an initiative along with Taawon Association to distribute hot meals to displaced Palestinians in Gaza. Taawon are facilitating the donation collection which you can do through their website here.
You might be able to catch Mahmoud Abuzaiter's coverage on his Instagram of the distribution of those meals yesterday on his stories. Otherwise, Taawon's donation page has more details of the work they have done so far in Gaza.
Recently learned that the color of the vest and tie Arthur wears during the Saint Denis ferry gambling mission changes depending on if you have high or low honor (blue for high and red for low) so now i am obsessed with the idea that the prominence of the colors red and blue on certain gang memberās outfit also reflects their honor level.
Whittemore variants versus Arthurās default outfit, which doesnāt have a scrap of red on it, however no matter what his blue shirt is always fucking dirty and stained. And remember the gang criticizes you if you have blood all over you.
Hosea wears the blue vest (sometimes brown) but he generally has his red neckerchief on, but he also owns a red and black scarf. Mostly good but a little bit of bad.
Red is prominently featured on Micah. His entire shirt is red and heās usually wearing his jacket like heās disguising his nature. Even the the grips on his guns have red. And when you rescue him from Strawberry he does not have his coat.
Dutch is the most interesting to me. He has the checkered red scarf which he rarely wears and the red pocket square over his heart. Only the back of his vest is red, like heās in denial about it, or that itās only possible to see who he is when he isnāt facing you and putting on a show. Meanwhile on guarma his vest is suddenly reversed!
EDIT: addition
When Hosea is killed he is wearing a completely different outfit with a blue vest and absolutely no red, and both Milton and Dutch are covered in red!
We should talk about cancer in Gaza which its levels are horrifically high (due to bombardment and white phosphorus and the contaminated water and... Literally everything)
This blog intends to specifically describe the persisting challenges in accessing care, that mounted during the COVID-19 pandemic, which are
Many cancer diagnosis and treatment tools are unavailable in Gaza, including PET CT and radiotherapy, largely as a result of Israelās years long blockade on Gaza, which prevents the import of items listed as ādual use itemsā. Cancer patients must therefore travel elsewhere for medical care, mainly to Palestinian hospitals in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. To leave Gaza, they must undergo a lengthy labyrinthian process that includes securing a medical exit permit from the Israeli military. Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) ā the human rights organization where the authors work ā assists Palestinian patients from Gaza in accessing medical care, which includes appeals to Israeli authorities. In 2020, PHRI assisted 113 cancer patients in accessing tertiary care, succeeding to reverse 81 denials of timely medical exit permits by the army.
In recent years, the Israeli medical exit permit system has been increasingly restrictive, with the WHO documenting that only 61% of patients applying for a permit received one in time for their appointment in 2018, compared with 92% in 2012. Since 2020, these ongoing challenges facing patients were compounded after the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic to the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt).
The fragmented Palestinian health system (suffering from de-development after 13 years of blockade, over 50 years of occupation and dealing with chronic shortages in healthcare equipment and medications), was forced to put in place many restrictions once COVID-19 cases were detected in the densely-populated Gaza strip.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Palestinian women, comprising 29% of all cancer diagnoses in the West Bank and 20% in Gaza. Yet Israelās restrictions on Gaza negatively impact the availability of oncology services locally while also preventing many breast cancer patients from reaching the treatment they need outside. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) highlights how the situation has worsened amid the COVID-19 pandemic and Israelās 11-day military offensive in May.
14 years of illegal closure and blockade have resulted in a protracted economic and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, causing de-development in the healthcare system and its essential cancer services. In August 2021, the Ministry of Health (MoH) had less than one monthās supply of 44% of essential oncology and haematology medications. There are no radiotherapy services in Gaza and certain chemotherapy treatments are unavailable locally. Israelās restrictions on Gaza include a prohibition on the import of certain ādual-useā medical items that it consi ders to have a potential security use, including radioisotopes used in breast cancer biopsy.
As a result, many patients must leave Gaza to access the care they need in hospitals in the West Bank, in particular East Jerusalem, or abroad. But accessing hospitals outside of Gaza is another major challenge. Patients must navigate an arduous application process to receive permission from the Israeli authorities to exit Gaza, which is not guaranteed to be approved.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in August 2021 Israel approved just 64% of permit requests for patients and 40% for companions seeking to accompany them to treatment. All other applications were either denied (1%) or delayed past the date of the patientās appointment (35%), interrupting vital care and threatening recovery. Almost a quarter (23%) of delayed permits were for cancer treatment.
The only cancer treatment hospital in the Gaza Strip has gone out of service after it ran out of fuel, health officials said on Wednesday.
Some 12 children with cancer or other blood disorders have been evacuated, with their companions, from the Gaza Strip in the occupied Palest

the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the health system, including its hospitals, have ātotally collapsedā - this means Israel and its allies have completely annihilated Palestinian capability to provide the basics of healthcare under constant bombardment.
Still, doctors, nurses and paramedics continue to work around the clock.
Doctors are operating in the dark without basic supplies, patients are being operated on without anaesthesia, blood banks are running out, and staff have resorted to vinegar to treat infections in the absence of antiseptics.
Israelās attacks on healthcare do not only take the form of direct aggression, but also use colonial borders to deny access to basic healthcare by obstruction, increasing disability and mortality in occupied Palestine through slow, cruel violence.

A legacy of brutality
This is not the first time Israel and its allies have employed these tactics. For decades, there has been a growing tidal wave of violence directed at Palestinian healthcare from the Israeli occupation.
In 2017, the World Health Organisation (WHO) reported that 54 Palestinians in Gaza died as a result of having their permits delayed or denied by the occupation. Medical Aid for Palestinians has highlighted that the denial of medical care constitutes cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, amounting in many cases to torture.
For example, in 2019, Layth Abu Zayad, a young human rights activist, was denied a permit to accompany his mother to her chemotherapy treatments just fifteen minutes from their home in the West Bank. This deliberate cruelty ultimately prevented him from being with her in the last days of her life.
Also in 2019, the parents and grandmother of 5-year-old Aisha A-Lulu were denied permits to travel with her for brain surgery in Jerusalem only an hour from their home in Gaza. Awakening from her surgery, she cried out for her parents. Aisha deteriorated, and was returned to Gaza unconscious, dying a week later.
In May 2021, Israel dropped hundreds of bombs on Gaza damaging healthcare facilities. During the course of that year alone, the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) recorded 169 attacks on healthcare in the occupied Territories.
19 medical centres were damaged or destroyed, including the Palestine Childrenās Relief Fund, an NGO providing cancer treatment and prosthetics to children unable to receive care due to Israeli blockades. This extreme aggression wreaks havoc on a health system already under intense strain from a brutal years-long siege.
In 2022, the WHO recorded 187 attacks on healthcare in Palestine, including attacks on ambulances, hospitals and staff. The WHOās Surveillance System for Attacks (SSA) on Healthcare has documented over 1519 violent attacks since 2017, 372 of those occurring this year.
As well as direct aggression, Palestinian patients and health workers are forced to navigate a labyrinthine system of both administrative and geographic barriers to treatment.
