The Summer of Never Ending Heat in the Age of GenocideBeyond Europe, the same heat intensifies suffering in places already subjected to genocide and mass displacement. In Gaza, where a genocide is unfolding under bombardment, blockade and systematic destruction, nearly a million people live in tents or overcrowded shelters.

Heatstroke, especially among children and the elderly, has become routine. Food spoils without refrigeration. The sea, contaminated by sewage from collapsed infrastructure, offers only polluted relief. Extreme heat here is not a separate crisis; it is another weapon in a campaign that has already destroyed the conditions of life.This historic genocide belongs to the Israeli and USA political-military infrastructure, especially (but not limited to) the Likud and Republican political parties.
