hi gbs ukraine thread `_`

this isn't to start a derail about this topic (please refer to the appropriate threads for conversation) so please don't go into it here or respond to this w/ political stuff @all tyvm

i just wanna take a sec to mention charities for the ongoing humanitarian crisis in gaza


Medecins sans Frontières
ANERA - American Near East Refugee Aid
Palestinian Children's Relief Fund
Medical Aid for Palestinians
UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Middle East)
Palestine Red Crescent Society
Defense for Children - Palestine
Mennonite Central Committee
UN World Food Programme


quote:

45% of gaza is 14yo or younger and the median age is 18
if you are bad at math that means literally every person there is like prob. half your age and most of them are children. unemployment was like 85% before this escalation, nobody has poo poo there
they can't leave. gaza is under a complete blockade from both the israeli and egyptian borders

there's like 2.1 million people without access to water, food, electricity, or medical care in a place where the population density is usually about 65,000 people per square mile, currently being packed to a density of 130,000/mi² while they are getting bombed to death with over a thousand bombings a day for over a week straight now

calls for charity always say this but: you could save lives by helping here.
not abstract, longterm outcome predictions. not 'maybe it'll do some good' - aid you help reach gaza could be the deciding factor in children making it to next month or not. lots of kids are dying right now, starving right now, need water and medical care right now. pls help them to survive this

toxic mental said it's cool to post this itt btw im not randomly dive-bombing (it looks like it'll get a dedicated sticky for better visibility but waiting on admin decision & ppl use bookmarks n stuff)

~pls spread these links to other people u know if they aren't aware of what's going on or that they can help~
thank uou thats all :horse:

having been in bakeries i dont really understand this choice either. the conveyor belts in bakeries aren't designed to enable an assembly line, in fact its almost the opposite, you have a yarnball of conveyor belts designed to move the bread between certain processes with a designed in delay

it could be done I suppose, but you might as well set up a new plant in a warehouse

It makes some sense if the purpose is to rort a bunch of roubles from the military and not deliver too many drones

Like any good bread making machine there is a switch on the side labeled "Bread" and "Drones." You just flip the switch when you need drones and flip it back when you need bread. So simple.

Some tank nerds have already pointed out it has BMP tracks. I really wish Russia was fielding this in the war but there are too many more likely reasons for its picture to show up now.

Honestly I think it's this. If the plant/bakery gets involved in a "smoking accident" Russia can spin it as perfidious Ukrainians destroying food supply.
