Israel blocking transfer of incubators in Gaza
Israel has repeatedly denied permission to transfer incubators from an evacuated hospital in northern Gaza, worsening conditions in overcrowded hospitals farther south where newborns are now sharing oxygen masks, UNICEF says.
“In one of the paediatric rooms, there were three babies and three mums on a single bed, one source of oxygen, and the mothers would rotate the oxygen 20 minutes to each child.”

Gaza City residents forced to flee, then hunted down by air strikes
The military is sharply ordering people to leave their homes, but at the same time targeting them with sky-predator drones and quadcopters.
Those who manage to get to al-Rasheed Road and move towards central and southern Gaza face aerial surveillance and bombardment. Last night an army helicopter flew low and fired at the road causing mayhem and panic among displaced families.

According to the live tracking system, the fleet's lead ship, the "Mikeno," entered Gaza's territorial waters.
However, it is not yet clear whether the ship was stopped by Israeli forces.
The ship is currently about 21 kilometers (11 nautical miles) from Gaza.

How should we use the Thumbs Down reaction emoji? To express our feelings about the content of the post (eg. oh god what has Trump done now) or to condemm the post itself as spam or inappropriate?
I've been afraid to use this thumbs down, but there are a lot of valuable posts I don't want to give a thumbs up to.
Are there any consequences to posts getting thumbs down i.e. are they flagged for moderator attention?

Just in the past few minutes, we had confirmation of a family evacuating on a road inside a vehicle when it was struck by a drone missile. Four people were reported killed on the spot.
Other people on the road rushed to the vehicle while it was still engulfed in flames, helping those who survived the attacks and transferring them to the hospital.

“We just want the bare minimum to survive and here in al-Mawasi we don’t even have that,”
“Even for water, we wait for hours just to get a single bucket.”
“We are piled on top of each other in a single tent – me, my husband, our six children, and my husband’s elderly parents – 10 people in a small tent. There’s no room to sleep in that cramped space … There’s no privacy.”

Then, they wonder why we act so outrageous

Cuz every time you let the animal out cages
It's dangerous, to people who look like strangers'
