El Estado Islámico multiplica su actividad en Siria y un atentado contra cristianos pone en entredicho la transición


Mientras el Estado Islámico aumentó más del doble sus ataques en mayo respecto al mes anterior, otro grupo radical suní ha reivindicado este mes el último y mayor atentado suicida contra cristianos desde el fin del régimen de Al Asad ¿Qué esperar de los islamistas de Hayat Tahrir al Sham en la nueva Siria?

Después del colapso del régimen de Bashar Al Asad en diciembre de 2024, se vaticinó que el Estado Islámico (EI) podría renacer de sus cenizas en medio del vacío de poder en Siria –donde el grupo controló amplios territorios durante varios años–. Aunque las nuevas autoridades han querido mandar un mensaje de tranquilidad al mundo —y en concreto a Occidente— sobre la presencia y actividad de grupos radicales en suelo sirio, el EI ha incrementado notablemente sus ataques y otros grupos terroristas están muy activos en el país.

El pasado mes de mayo, cuando el presidente Donald Trump se reunió por sorpresa con su homólogo sirio, Ahmad al Sharaa, en Arabia Saudí, le pidió precisamente expulsar a todos los “terroristas extranjeros” de Siria y ayudar a Estados Unidos a evitar que el Estado Islámico resurja en el país árabe, según informó la Casa Blanca en ese momento. Esta semana, el presidente de EEUU ha firmado una orden ejecutiva levantando las sanciones al país.

No sólo el llamado Daesh representa una preocupación, sino otros combatientes radicales que durante años lucharon en Siria contra el régimen, incluso en las filas del grupo islamista que lideraba Al Sharaa, Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS). Muchos de los milicianos de HTS han sido integrados en las nuevas fuerzas de seguridad sirias después de que la agrupación armada liderara la toma de Damasco el pasado diciembre, pero varios meses después sigue siendo un reto para el nuevo Gobierno la presencia de miles de combatientes extranjeros radicales que fueron a Siria para luchar contra Al Asad –en los pasados más de diez años, esos hombres se han casado, han tenido hijos y se han afincado en el país–.

Aumento de los ataques terroristas


El 22 de junio se produjo el mayor atentado suicida desde la caída del régimen hasta la fecha. Un atacante accedió a la iglesia de Mar Elías en Damasco y abrió fuego contra los feligreses; posteriormente hizo detonar su chaleco explosivo, matando a 25 personas e hiriendo a otras 63, de acuerdo con el recuento oficial. Las autoridades sirias responsabilizaron al grupo yihadista Estado Islámico (EI), aunque otra agrupación radical de reciente creación fue la que asumió la autoría del atentado: Saraya Ansar al Suna.

El Ministerio del Interior sirio anunció pocos días después que todos los miembros de la célula que planificó el ataque fueron arrestados y que también se incautaron armas y explosivos. Según la versión del Ministerio de Interior, la célula estaba liderada por un ciudadano sirio, quien facilitó la llegada del atacante suicida (de nacionalidad no siria) a Damasco desde el infame campamento de Al Hol, que alberga a miles de familiares de miembros del Estado Islámico en el noreste del país.

La organización ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data), que recoge y analiza datos de los conflictos en todo el mundo, ha contabilizado al menos 13 ataques contra ciudadanos cristianos y sus propiedades. Los ataques han sido perpetrados por varios actores, incluidas las nuevas autoridades sirias.

Por otra parte, ACLED ha registrado unos 50 ataques del Estado Islámico entre el 1 de mayo y el 23 de junio de 2025. En el mes de mayo, aumentaron más del doble respecto a abril, llegando casi a 40, la cifra mensual más alta desde la caída del régimen de Al Asad cinco meses antes. Además, el EI asumió en mayo sus primeros ataques contra las nuevas autoridades.

El investigador jefe para Oriente Medio de ACLED, Muaz Al Abdullah, destaca que hay “un riesgo continuado de violencia sectaria en la transición siria, que se extiende más allá de la comunidad cristiana”. La comunidad alauí (una rama del islam a la que pertenecía Al Asad) ha sido la más golpeada con diferencia desde la caída del régimen.

Respecto al ataque contra la iglesia de Mar Elías, reivindicado por Saraya Ansar al Sunna, Al Abdullah cree que “si bien iba dirigido contra un grupo específico de la sociedad siria y una religión en particular, tuvo como blanco al mismo tiempo el nuevo Gobierno sirio. El experto explica a elDiario.es que el objetivo es el de ”socavar los esfuerzos para construir un nuevo Estado tras la caída del régimen de Al Asad y presentar al nuevo Gobierno como una entidad frágil y débil, incapaz de lograr la estabilidad civil y social. Por lo tanto, su objetivo principal es el Estado sirio emergente“.

Al Abdullah destaca que, además, el ataque pone el foco en “un tema de especial importancia en Occidente: la cuestión de las minorías”. Precisamente, Saraya Ansar al Sunna ha declarado que sus principales objetivos en Siria son las minorías. El experto agrega que esa agrupación suní radical no ha declarado abiertamente su lealtad al Estado Islámico, pero no se puede descartar una conexión entre ambos grupos. “Hemos visto escenarios similares con organizaciones que operaban principalmente bajo el Estado Islámico sin [haber declarado] una lealtad explícita” a este grupo.

Los últimos movimientos del EI, con el aumento de sus acciones en Siria desde mayo, “reflejan una respuesta adaptativa frente a una vigilancia más estricta y a la mayor presión de las fuerzas sirias e internacionales”, dice Al Abdullah en referencia tanto a las autoridades sirias como a los kurdosirios, que luchan contra el EI con el apoyo de EEUU. El analista afirma que el grupo sigue siendo mucho más débil que durante su auge entre 2014 y 2017, cuando estableció su califato en Siria y en Irak, pero no hay que olvidar “su constante ambición de recuperar su relevancia y perturbar la frágil transición política [ante] los riesgos que enfrenta el orden político emergente de Siria”.

Combatientes yihadistas extranjeros


Ese orden político también está amenazado por la presencia de otros actores armados. Un reciente informe del centro de análisis e investigación Soufan (con sede en EEUU) sobre los combatientes extranjeros en Siria advierte de que los desarrollos de la transición en el país árabe tendrán implicaciones a largo plazo, no sólo a nivel local, sino para “el panorama de la amenaza terrorista en general”.

Los combatientes extranjeros (entre los que hay uigures, albaneses, uzbekos, tayikos, rusos, turcos, etc.) adquirieron una gran experiencia en la guerra civil Siria y enseñaron a sus compañeros locales a luchar frente a las fuerzas del régimen, explica el informe. Ahora pueden ser fundamentales en la formación del nuevo Ejército sirio, pero también “deben ser vigilados” porque podrían tener “objetivos futuros fuera de Siria”, alerta el centro Soufan.

Esos grupos de combate –de los que el informe excluye el Estado Islámico y Al Qaeda– “no sólo están altamente entrenados, sino que también están fuertemente motivados ideológica y religiosamente”. Además de cooperar entre sí, también han colaborado estrechamente con HTS y otros grupos sirios, y participaron directamente en la ofensiva que los rebeldes lanzaron en noviembre del año pasado en el noroeste de Siria y que acabó derrocando al régimen en Damasco.

“Muchos de los combatientes extranjeros en las filas de HTS llevan muchos años en Siria; algunos se han casado con mujeres sirias y han tenido hijos durante su estancia en el país. Si estas personas no se incorporan a las fuerzas armadas sirias, podrían unirse a Al Qaeda o al Estado Islámico”, señala el informe. “También existe la posibilidad muy real de que, si son abandonados, esos combatientes extranjeros podrían volverse contra el propio Gobierno interino sirio, desestabilizando al país en un momento crucial”.

“Para los grupos yihadistas y sus aliados extranjeros, el teatro de operaciones sirio ha sido un escenario donde entrenarse y adquirir experiencia, un paso crucial para expandir la lucha yihadista a otros teatros de operaciones”, destaca el centro Soufan. Ahora que la guerra en Siria ha terminado –aunque el informe recoge que los grupos siguen publicando fotos y vídeos de su entrenamiento militar en el país–, el objetivo que tienen es el de “regresar a sus países de origen y luchar para liberar sus tierras de aquellos a quienes consideran opresores”, al igual que antes lucharon contra Al Asad.

Recientemente, EEUU dio luz verde a la integración de algunos combatientes extranjeros en el Ejército sirio, en una división creada específicamente para ellos, junto a soldados sirios, después de que Trump pidiera a Al Sharaa su expulsión del país. La expulsión de miles de combatientes, yihadistas en su mayoría, no es factible para el Gobierno sirio y generaría inestabilidad tanto en Oriente Medio como en sus países de origen.

EEUU y las Fuerzas de Siria Democrática


Washington ha desempeñado un papel destacado en la lucha contra el EI en Siria desde hace una década y ha contado con un aliado sobre el terreno: las milicias mayoritariamente kurdas llamadas Fuerzas Democráticas de Siria (FSD). Las FSD operan en el noreste del país, donde los kurdosirios establecieron su autogobierno durante la guerra civil. Desde la caída del régimen siguen actuando contra el EI y gestionando los centros de dentención de excombatientes y sus familiares, como el campamento de Al Hol.

Las tropas de EEUU desplegadas en el noreste de Siria han empezado a retirarse desde que Trump volvió a la Casa Blanca el pasado enero. La Administración de Trump dijo en junio que reduciría su presencia militar de ocho a una sola base en Siria (todas ellas en la región controlada por las FSD).

El comandante de las FSD, Mazloum Abdi, declaró a la agencia de noticias Reuters que “la amenaza del Estado Islámico ha aumentado significativamente recientemente” y que unos pocos centenares de soldados estadounidenses no van a ser suficientes para hacer frente a dicha amenaza. “Este es el plan del Ejército estadounidense. Lo sabemos desde hace mucho tiempo... y estamos trabajando con ellos para asegurarnos de que no haya brechas [de seguridad] y de que podemos mantener la presión sobre el Estado Islámico”, afirmó.

Abdi aseguró que células del EI se han reactivado en varias ciudades sirias, incluida Damasco, y que un grupo de yihadistas extranjeros que en su día combatieron al régimen sirio se han unido a sus filas. También señaló que en medio del caos tras la caída del régimen los extremistas se hicieron con armas y municiones de las fuerzas armadas de Al Asad.

El analista Muaz Al Abdullah asegura que hay “muchas células durmientes” del EI en Siria que pueden actuar en distintos puntos del país, pero el grupo “actualmente no puede lanzar una gran campaña de reclutamiento ni atraer nuevos combatientes a sus filas”.

In Field Tests In Mining Areas, How Effective Are Mobile Stone Crusher Technologies?



As mining operations evolve, so too does the need for more agile, efficient, and sustainable solutions for on-site aggregate processing. The introduction of mobile crushing units has been a game changer for many mining operations around the world. In particular, mobile stone crusher plant technologies have demonstrated strong potential in reducing logistical burdens, lowering operational costs, and improving adaptability in the field. But how effective are these machines in real-world mining scenarios? This article explores the performance of mobile crushers through the lens of field tests and site reports.

Advantages Of Mobile Stone Crusher Plants In Mining Areas


Field tests in various mining regions—from hard rock quarries to alluvial stone sites—consistently show that mobile stone crusher plants(planta de trituracion movil) outperform stationary units in terms of flexibility and efficiency. Their ability to relocate and operate directly at the mining site eliminates the need for hauling raw materials long distances to fixed crushers, thereby cutting fuel costs and labor time.

These mobile units are particularly effective in remote mining areas where infrastructure is limited. By reducing the dependency on external transport and batching facilities, operators can streamline workflow and improve productivity even in the most challenging conditions.

Crushing Different Materials: From Hard Rock To River Pebbles

Performance As A Gravel Crusher


One of the most common tasks in mining operations is the production of high-quality gravel for construction and road building. In field tests, mobile crushers equipped with jaw and cone modules consistently perform well as gravel crushers(trituradora de piedra para grava), processing materials such as granite, basalt, and limestone with high efficiency.

Thanks to their adjustable crushing ratios and real-time control systems, these units produce uniform grain sizes that meet strict grading requirements. This precision makes them ideal not only for large-scale road base production but also for concrete-grade aggregates.

Effectiveness As A Pebble Crusher


In some mining environments—especially in riverbed or coastal areas—the primary material is not rock but river stones or pebbles. Here, the machine’s ability to serve as a pebble crusher becomes crucial. Tests show that mobile impact or cone crushers with fine chamber designs can crush pebbles into usable aggregate sizes without generating excessive fines or dust.

This application is particularly important in mining areas where natural pebbles are abundant and need to be repurposed for infrastructure development or concrete batching. A well-configured mobile plant can handle these tasks without the need for additional secondary crushers.

Real-World Efficiency And Energy Savings


One of the most praised features of the mobile stone crusher plant is its energy efficiency during field operations. Field studies indicate a reduction of up to 30% in fuel consumption when compared to traditional hauling and fixed crushing models. This is largely due to the elimination of intermediate material handling and the integration of multiple crushing stages within one mobile unit.

Additionally, mobile systems equipped with hybrid or electric drives contribute to lower carbon emissions, a factor increasingly important in environmentally regulated mining zones.

Operator Feedback From Field Tests


Operators and site managers across various regions report that mobile crusher technologies significantly reduce downtime and simplify maintenance. Because the systems are designed with modular components, replacing wear parts or reconfiguring the setup for different material types can be done more quickly than with stationary systems.

Another critical advantage noted in field tests is automation. Advanced mobile plants come with intelligent control systems and remote monitoring, allowing operators to make real-time adjustments to crusher settings. This ensures consistent output quality and helps detect equipment stress before breakdowns occur.

Challenges And Considerations


While mobile crushers offer significant benefits, field testing has also revealed some challenges. For example, in areas with uneven terrain or extremely hard stone types, mobility and wear rates can become issues. Proper ground preparation and regular maintenance are essential to ensure long-term performance.

Furthermore, operators must be trained to manage the more sophisticated control systems often found in modern mobile plants. However, with short learning curves and built-in user interfaces, most teams adapt quickly.

Conclusion


Field tests confirm that mobile stone crusher plant technologies offer highly effective solutions for on-site aggregate production in mining areas. Whether functioning as a gravel crusher or a pebble crusher(trituradora de piedra de río), these machines deliver consistent results in terms of output quality, energy savings, and operational flexibility.

Their performance in real-world mining environments has solidified their role as an essential part of modern quarry and aggregate workflows. As the industry continues to prioritize sustainability and efficiency, mobile crushers are set to become the preferred choice for mining operators around the globe.

Do any #Linux/#KDE users have an idea why an app, on a #KDEPlasma desktop, might start fine on the terminal, and application launcher, but not on #KRunner?

This has been happening for a long time now for me with #virt-manager - tho that wasn't the case in the past for just as long. That being said, IIRC it's happened with the application launcher too, tho that works for me atm, but KRunner almost always fails to launch it - only the app icon appears to be loading on the dock/panel, then it disappears.

When it does happen, journalctl would report this error:

We Are All Palestine Action: NY War Crimes


“If we defeat the government’s attempts to destroy our organization, victory in our fight against Elbit is near,” a spokesperson for Palestine Action told us this week. “If they do proscribe us, then let a thousand Palestine Actions bloom.”

Writers Against the War on Gaza
July 2, 2025

On Friday, June 20, two members of Palestine Action rode into the UK’s largest military base on e-scooters, carrying a Palestinian flag and fire extinguishers filled with red paint. After spray-painting two military airplanes, effectively (if temporarily) grounding them both, the actionists escaped. This bold direct action forced the media to cover what it had long ignored: the participation of the Royal Air Force in the war on Gaza. On Wednesday, July 2, a humiliated and reactionary British parliament voted to proscribe Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organization, threatening members and supporters with up to 14 years of prison.

The same moribund empire that first authorized the Zionist project in 1917 continues to abet mass death and displacement in Palestine. The UK’s F-35 jet fighter program supplies 15% of the components making up Israel’s warplanes — including ejector seats, rear fuselage, active interceptor systems, targeting lasers, and weapon release cables. Its bases in Cyprus are likely waypoints for the transfer of arms to the genocidal state, and the R.A.F. itself flies planes over Gaza to provide the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) with intelligence.

In the five years since its founding, and particularly over the past 20 months, Palestine Action has put the death-dealers on notice like no other political organization in the U.K. or the U.S. By strategically and systematically targeting Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms company, they have already brought about the closure of several Elbit factories; forced dozens of companies and contractors to cut ties with Elbit; and helped bring about a “debanking crisis” for the entire so-called defense industry.

Proscription would endanger the whole of the Palestine solidarity movement, criminalizing word and deed alike. It would punish not only members but supporters of Palestine Action: To publicly praise their brave acts would be to risk a 14-year prison sentence. We call on our British readers to take this risk. The label of “terrorist” has long been wielded by Western powers to brand their sins onto all those who challenge their impunity. In this way, it is an honor.

But the epithet is also a threat. It is through this designation that the West has justified the imprisonment and slaughter of journalists, activists, poets, musicians and cultural workers throughout the history of our movements. We must remind ourselves and the world that terrorism is the true legacy of Western imperialism and colonization, and resistance is the real counter-terrorism.

Palestine Action has offered us a template for resistance in the imperial core, for an insurgency that strikes unflinchingly at the supply chain of death. Proscription may force the organization to formally disband, but it cannot stop the action happening everywhere, every day, in the name of Palestine.

The entire movement must defy the draconian criminalization of resistance, which haunts us with the specter of incarceration. We cannot allow fear to distance us from our conscience or our will. Thousands of political prisoners — many who are Palestinian, others who have been radicalized by Palestine — have already shown us that while the cost of resistance can be high, it can never outweigh the power of a united front. The effectiveness and popularity of anticolonial resistance is why organizations like Samidoun and Palestine Action have been targeted by fascist governments and other counterinsurgent forces attempting to divide the movement with fearmongering and hysterical finger-pointing. As Samidoun wrote in their July 2, 2025 statement of solidarity with Palestine Action, “The British colonial mandate was the first to introduce ‘administrative detention’ — imprisonment without charge or trial — to occupied Palestine, a policy enthusiastically adopted by their Zionist colonial successors.”

Almost two years into this genocide, the Zionist and Western powers have sent clear signals to the world that their final solution is the extermination of the Palestinian people in Gaza and beyond. Day after day, we see images too horrific to comprehend and hear the unforgettable screams of children. But as Israel’s attacks intensify, so does our conviction. Popular support for the Palestinian cause continues to build, both despite and because of escalating fascist repression. Hundreds of people have joined Palestine Action in the past 10 days. “If we defeat the government’s attempts to destroy our organization, victory in our fight against Elbit is near,” the group’s spokesperson, Max Geller, told us this week. “If they do proscribe us, then let a thousand Palestine Actions bloom.”

There have been significant attempts to isolate Palestine Action by liberal forces within the movement. We maintain that — as with resistance in occupied Palestine — there must be a visible, aboveground movement that serves as a popular cradle for underground militancy. WAWOG will always stand with militants in the imperial core. We call on all people of conscience to do the same.

Death, death to the IOF.

Free Palestine.

This proposal from @leaverou looks really interesting 👀

Now that we have `:has()` it should be possible to create `inverted` combinators.

A new parent combinator `B < A` could be syntactic sugar for `A:has(> B)`. Similarly we could add previous sibling and ancestor combinators.

The symmetry could make it easier for students to learn, and it could improve readability.

Child selector: `A > B`
Parent selector: `B < A`

Una idea para construir un mundo un poco mejor. Cuando encontréis un contenido que os indigne profundamente evitad compartirlo. Si necesitáis responder podéis hacerlo sin difundir el contenido.

Por ejemplo con lo de que nos sobran bosques. Es algo que intentan instalar en el imaginario colectivo, no sé muy bien quién, no sé muy bien con qué interés.

Es evidente que no tenemos tantos bosques y que no sobran. Pero si desde la indignación compartimos el argumentario del que dice que sobran lo instalamos en el imaginario colectivo. El personal tiene argumentos para argumentar en ese sentido y acabamos pensando que sobran bosques.

La alternativa es explicar qué es un bosque, por qué necesitamos más y mejores bosques. A ser posible obviando el argumentario contrario que, quien más quien menos ya conoce y ha tropezado con él.

But that’s not the endpoint. Oh no.

In a move alarmingly close to outright chattel slavery, there is talk of ICE capturing immigrants and then •selling them back to their former employers•, presumably under much-worsened employment conditions.

People are still not paying nearly enough attention to what @pluralistic wrote here:

“The American right is a brittle coalition.”

The topic above is a prime example. There are two MAGA constituencies here — employers and workers — who think they’re about to get exactly opposite things. Both are going along with the ICE program because they think they’re the ones who will really get what they want in the end. At least one of them is going to get screwed over.

You think ICE is going to “bring the jobs back?” Bullshit. They’re gearing up to sell imprisoned immigrants back to employers as slave prisoners who work for free. You think your wages are going up? You’re a sucker. Your wages are going down.

You think ICE is going to sell you imprisoned immigrants as cheap labor? Bullshit. They’re too beholden to the radical white supremacist extremists. Those people will •never• let those immigrants stay in the country. ICE is going to steal your labor force and you won’t get them back.

I fear some of them may have a plan for managing that contradiction; that white labor pool only needs fooled for a few months. They’re buying a bit of consent now to bridge them into the next crunch.

Concentration camps stateside to lease convict labor, concentration camps abroad to traffic people permanently - why both? The white nationalist project. Impoverish & criminalize en masse, exile non-whites to a new worst outcome, remake a frightened, paler, part-convict labor pool.

@cwicseolfor
I mean…maybe? It takes an extraordinary amount of squinting to imagine all of that working out.

There’s an almost compulsive urge on the part of the Thoughtful Left in these situations to figure how to resolve the contradiction, how to square the circle, how to say that these people really are all the same — and that’s just doing the right’s work for them! We’ve got to stop that!

Focus on what you said on your subsequent post: the cracks are there, the window of opportunity is short, they’re feeding the base a fantasy, and we need to FUD that fantasy to death.

This is still a strategic opportunity to break the coalition because it’s showing that they absolutely will cannibalize each other the moment they see a chance. The cracks are there. But the window of opportunity feels very short; they’re still feeding a racist base the comforting fantasy that they’d only treat Other People that way, and that base has hardly ever caught on before, because even as their material conditions worsened, things were usually worse for minorities *faster.*

In a sane world, this would be the biggest, most important news story in the world.

‘Tipping points’ experts issue urgent message to world leaders.

“Every fraction of a degree above 1.5°C matters. And every year of “overshoot” matters too.”

“It’s ultimately a matter of survival.”

#Israel / The state has informed the Supreme Court that it will continue to ban foreign and Israeli journalists from entering Gaza to report freely on the situation

This ban has been in place since October 2023, with multiple legal challenges filed by the Foreign Press Association (#FPA). While some limited access with military escort has been granted, Israel maintains that free movement for journalists poses unacceptable security risks.

The FPA has stated journalists will bear responsibility for any harm they face in Gaza, but Israel disputes this, fearing potential legal challenges and risks to operational security.

A court hearing on the FPA's petition is now scheduled for October 23rd, over a year after the initial request.

[...] The FPA's petition, filed approximately ten months ago, was originally scheduled for a hearing last April. However, the hearing was postponed due to "court calendar constraints." Subsequent hearings planned for May and June were also canceled, in part due to Israel's attack on #Iran.

Surprise...

Analysis: "Tony Blair Institute linked to Gaza plan condemned as ethnic cleansing".

"Documents show TBI staff were involved in discussions on a Gaza plan condemned for promoting ethnic cleansing."

"A British charity associated with former prime minister Tony Blair displays a map on its website including the occupied Golan Heights, West Bank and Gaza Strip as part of Israel."

David Suzuki says something I believe: it's too late to save the civilization we're used to, but not too late to save some of your neighbors for a while. Some quotes:

"Q: You’ve been quoted many times over the last couple decades saying it’s not too late to tackle climate change, so when did you come to this realization that the battle is lost?

A: It’s been coming all along.

We had previously said that the choice with climate change was mitigation and adaptation, and people began saying 20 years ago that we had to talk about adaptation. Other people said we can’t talk about adaptation because that acknowledges that climate change is real and impacting people. Well, we’re way past the time when we should have been thinking about adaptation.

[....]

For me, what we’ve got to do now is hunker down. The units of survival are going to be local communities, so I’m urging local communities to get together. Finland is offering a great example because the Finnish government has sent a letter to all of their citizens warning of future emergencies, whether they’re earthquakes, floods, droughts, or storms. They’re going to come and they’re going to be more urgent and prolonged.

Governments will not be able to respond on the scale or speed that is needed for these emergencies, so Finland is telling their citizens that they’re going to be at the front line of whatever hits and better be sure you’re ready to meet it. Find out who on your block can’t walk because you’re going to have to deal with that. Who has wheelchairs? Who has fire extinguishers? Where is the available water? Do you have batteries or generators?"

Read the whole thing, it explains more.
