a national park in southern sumatra is suspected to be deliberately set on fire, possibly to do with investors wanting to turn the land to palm plantation
the park is one of the last few places where endagered sumatran elephants, tigers, and rhinoes still roam. this is fucked up
Even as a Malaysian, I care about forests, animals & people anywhere.
So, I just created a resource document if you’re looking to support Indonesian or international NGOs working to protect communities & wildlife from the forest fires in Kalimantan.

“I did a leg amputation on a 5-year-old girl, and the only anesthesia that we had was the anesthesia doctor singing to her… We were praying for her to faint. She stayed awake the whole amputation.”
Absolutely devastating testimony from doctors in Gaza.
Everyday I reflect on how this could’ve been me undergoing genocide and starvation and intense unimaginable suffering.
Just pure geographical luck.
And because I’m not, it’s my duty to try to do whatever is in my capacity to help those who are. This is the mindset everyone should have.
Try to help, *even* if it’s the bare minimum. Still better than zero. Even if it’s just one RT of a survival campaign a day. It costs nothing.
Before we were forced to pause operations, we were constantly looking for creative ways to stretch every donation - finding less expensive initiatives that could still make a meaningful impact. https://t.co/6l9JFjWInX
On July 23, that was 200 cold, fresh fruit cups for 200 children at Al-Ekhwa Camp in Al-Zawayda.
Mango, watermelon, melon and grapes were cut fresh, packed into individual cups, chilled with ice and delivered directly to the children.
It was simple. It was nutritious. And in the summer heat, it was a small moment of refreshment and care for children living through conditions where even fresh, cold fruit can feel like something really special.
The cost of the entire distribution was only $398. This is what your donations allowed us to do: respond creatively and to improve daily life in Gaza.
