Nearly 1.7 million Palestinians are now spending a second or third year in unsafe, makeshift shelters because Israel and the United States continue to block mobile homes, or caravans, from entering Gaza, leaving units that have been lined up on the Egyptian side of the border outside the Strip for more than a year unable to enter.

Children in Gaza are dying from falling into flooded wells. People are being battered in tattered tents by hail force winds and rain. But Israel continues to block thousands of mobile homes from entering Gaza.

Ferns have a freaky sex life, alternating between two completely separate plants each generation. The one you recognize as a fern - the leafy thing with fronds - is called the 'sporophyte'. But there's another stage in its life cycle you may not have noticed: the 'gametophyte'! (1/n)

The sporophyte's cells are 'diploid': they carry two copies of every chromosome, one from each parent, just like your own cells. On the undersides of its fronds, it produces spores - but using a special kind of cell division that halves the chromosome count, so the spores are 'haploid'. (2/n)
Life cycle of a fern, with the haploid generation on top, culmimating in a small gametophyte, with a single heart-shapted leaf, and the diploid generation on bottom, culminating in the sporophyte we recognize as a fern.

This image is from 
https://botanicalgarden.berkeley.edu/learn/garden-stories/fern-reproduction/

They write:

Ferns come from an ancient lineage of non-flowering plants that reproduce by spores. The fern reproduction cycle begins with the asexual spores, which are contained in sporangia (spore cases) usually located on the underside of the fronds. Sporangia may appear as green, brown or black dots or even stripes and are often arranged in distinctive patterns. More unusual is the pattern of tiny, stalked growths along the edge of Tectaria moorei, pictured below.

If you want a sense of how dire the situation is in Cuba now, here is a list of the measures the Cuban president says the nation has started taking to try to keep people in nursing homes and hospitals alive while Trump & Rubio choke the island of essentials, which the Cuban gov't is now referring...
the Cuban government is now referring to a "genocidal blockade" -- which is absolutely will be if it is allowed to persist. 

Cuba is not at war with anybody yet we are starving them...because why? Because Marco Rubio wants to? 

From the office of the Cuban presidency:

This Friday, measures adopted by the country’s leadership were announced in response to the nation’s current situation, amid the intensification of the #GenocidalBlockade.

⚡| Energy Sector
•Prioritize available fuel for essential services: public health, water supply, food production, defense, and hard-currency-generating activities.
•Continue and accelerate the installation programs for solar photovoltaic parks and solar modules for households.
•Speed up the delivery and installation of solar modules sold to Health and Education workers.
•Install 5,000 solar modules in isolated homes and plan an additional 5,000 for social centers (nursing homes, children’s homes).
•Expand incentives for the installation of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in companies and households.
•Concentrate core administrative activities from Monday to Thursday.
•Adjust fuel sales to the public until the situation normalizes.
•Continue developing domestic oil production.

🚚| Transport Sector
•Ensure fuel for port and airport operations, imports/exports, and the transport of vital cargo (food, fuel, medical supplies).
•Reduce the Nueva Gerona–Batabanó ferry frequency to two trips per week (Tuesdays and Saturdays).
•Extend the frequency of national passenger trains to once every 8 days (starting February 8). Temporarily suspend other rail services.
•Reduce national bus departures, maintaining a basic daily service from Havana. Suspend the waiting list service.
•Offer full refunds within 30 days for tickets for canceled services (rail or maritime).
•Maintain guaranteed Medibus services (for patients) and transportation for students and teaching staff.
•Reorganize local public transportation according to fuel availability in each territory.
•In Havana, establish a new transportation service specifically for Health personnel.
•Strengthen the electric mobility strategy: install solar charging stations and distribute electric vehicles.

👩‍🏫| Education Sector (General Education)
•Prioritize early childhood: maintain the operation of daycare •Prioritize early childhood: maintain the operation of daycare centers (possibly with reduced hours).
•Maintain in-person classes in Primary Education with flexible schedules, allowing early dismissal due to transportation needs.
•For Lower Secondary, Pre-University, and Technical Education:
•Implement blended-learning or condensed schedules (by days or subject blocks), decided locally.
•Give special attention to grades marking the start and end of cycles (e.g., 7th and 9th grade, 12th grade).
•Temporarily redistribute enrollment from some IPVCE schools to urban pre-university schools.
•For students in the final years of technical/pedagogical programs, shift to a training model in schools near their homes, with periodic in-person sessions.
•Resume and adapt the “essential content” experience used during COVID-19.
•Accelerate the delivery of solar panels to teachers.

👨🏾‍🏫| Higher Education Sector
•General transition to blended learning, adapted by degree program and university.
•Transport students back to their provinces of origin.
•Support teaching activities through institutions in the student’s territory (CUM, branch campuses, workplaces).
•Strengthen faculty in municipalities by relocating professors from central campuses.•Use telework as the main modality, with limited ICT support due to the energy situation.
•Prioritize strategic research and development projects remotely.
•Ensure completion of studies (final exams, thesis defenses) for students close to graduation.
•Reorganize the admissions process for Higher Education.
•Postpone the “University 2026” event.

👩🏿‍💻| Labor and Social Security Sector
•Issue no new labor regulations, applying existing contingency rules.
•Promote telework and remote work modalities.
•Adjust work schedules according to the needs of each workforce.
•Reassign workers to key economic activities or areas of social interest.
•If necessary, apply temporary work interruption with guaranteed pay equivalent to the basic salary during the first month.

🚜| Food and Water Sector
•Increase food production at the territorial level, prioritizing productive hubs with the greatest potential.
•Promote alliances among all forms of productive management (state and non-state) to address commercialization and prices.
•Use Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in food production.
•Allocate fuel to guarantee essential water pumping.
•Concentrate industry on producing and supplying chemical products for water treatment.

🔴 In the past 24 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 2 killed and 25 injured arriving at hospitals.

▪️Since the ceasefire on October 11, 2025:
- Total killed: 576
- Total injured: 1,543
- Bodies recovered from the rubble: 717

This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 72,027 and 171,651 injuries (likely 3-5x higher including indirect deaths)

Israel closed the Rafah crossing on Friday. 5 days since reopening, only 36 Palestinian patients have been allowed to leave. Israel was reportedly promising at least 50/day in the days leading up to the reopening. Some 22,000 Palestinians in Gaza urgently need life saving care abroad.

The Ministry of Health announces that since the reopening of the Rafah crossing, only 36 patients have been evacuated, while 196 people have left the Gaza Strip.
It emphasizes that delays in allowing patients to travel for treatment outside the Strip lead to the daily loss of lives among the wounded and sick.
