Our heart is deeply broken, and we send our heartfelt condolences to her loved ones and colleagues on the ground.
Rest in peace Ayat.

Ayat Khadoura was one of Zimam’s star agents of change in Gaza. She was tragically killed together with her 3 siblings and her grandparents during an attack over Beit Lahia.

A powerful message and picture from our grantee organization Standing Together @omdimbeyachad : " It's hard to convey in a single image the amount of people, energy and enthusiasm that were at last night's Jewish-Arab solidarity conference in עומדים ביחד نقف معًا in Haifa.

THE MORNING OF SATURDAY SHOCKED US ALL AS WE AWOKE TO THE HORRIFYING SCENES OF ATTACKS ON CIVILIANS IN ISRAEL. WE, B8 OF HOPE, UNEQUIVOCALLY CONDEMN ANY FORM OF VIOLENCE

[B8 of Hope @B8ofHope]

We call upon the international community to urgently intervene for #deescalation of this horrific violence and bloodshed. May the voices of Israeli and Palestinian mothers, yearning for peace, be heard louder than the sounds of rockets and machine guns.
