- I love you Mama
- Why do you love me?
- Because you bought me [new] clothes. *Hugs

Tell them, we did not live silent.
We lit up the sky.
We laughed.
We took care of each other.
Tell them, we were broken.
But we did not live silent.
We reached the impossible.
And it was impossible.
If I die, tell them, we did not live silent.
We sang. We taught. We learned. We grew.
We messed with each other. We danced. And we danced.
We made it work. We prayed for each other.
We cried. We held each other.
But tell them, we did not live silent.
We resisted. And resisted. And resisted. And resisted.
We bled. And we stitched each other up.
We leaned on each other. We fed each other.
Tell them, we did not live silent.
We told stories at night. We rode at dawn.
We ran for our lives. We swam for our lives.
We risked it all. We never gave up. Till the last breath.
Tell them, we did not live silent.
And we died. Free!
Child Faiz Abu Ataya passed away this morning at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, Gaza. His death was caused by malnutrition and the unavailability of treatment due to Israel's closure of the Rafah crossing.
"God, I'm so scared, God help us !
I can't take it anymore !
I want to go home !”
🚨Heartbreaking: A frightened child trembles and cries among the forcibly displaced inside Al-Shifa Medical Complex in #Gaza City, under heavy and intense Israeli army bombardment.

"What should we do? drown? commit mass suicide, is that what Israel wants?"
The haunting words of Dr. Refaat al-Areer, who has now been killed by Israel in Gaza.
“If this is your land, tell us your stories.”This was the first thing I learned from him, and it was the first time I learned about how to tell our stories for the world to know. He was amazingly amazing, as he used to say. I cant believe he was killed.
Dr Refaat Alareer @itranslate123 has been assassinated now by Israel. Refaat is one of the founders of @WeAreNotNumbers and a very good friend. He authored many books and wrote tens of stories about Gaza.
Refaat’s assassination is tragic, painful and outrageous. It is a huge loss.
"Mohammed’s life was taken before realizing his dreams, before he could publish his book or venture to London”. Committed to sharing the stories of individuals in occupied Palestine, Mohammed Zaher Hammo, one of our valued team volunteers, wrote dozens of stories and carefully recorded them while working collaboratively with his colleagues.
Today, we write for Mohammed, as we will always remember his radiant smile, his calm tone, his spirit of collaboration and teamwork, and his passion for life, comedy and football, as well as many more memories that will live eternally in our minds.
May your soul rest in eternal peace..

People in Gaza are starving and have nothing to eat, and when they do find some, prices have skyrocketed. The price of a bag of flour costs around 500 shekels ($150).
People have testified going up to 3 days without food. This footage shows hundreds in line for food in the south of Gaza, while no supplies reach the northern part of Gaza and its remaining 700.000 Palestinians inhabitants.
The Israeli army is deliberately intensifying its bombing on and around UN displacement centers to instill trauma, fear and horror in the hearts of the elderly and children. What it aims to do, is break any resilience of the Palestinians. Israel believes that where overwhelming force has failed, even more force will succeed, which will push Palestinians to turn against their resistance movements. What they miss is that resisting a military occupation that murders you, is a basic human mechanism. Footage this afternoon for Khalifa school in Beit Lahia town. #Gaza
@WeAreNotNumbers Mohammed! One of the main reasons for why Mohammad was accepted in We Are Not Numbers was his smile and how much optimistic he was. May he and his family rest in peace😣
With heavy hearts, we share the devastating news of the killing of WANN writer, Mohammed Hammo. Mahmoud, along with his entire family, fell victim to the harrowing consequences of an Israeli airstrike on their home. May Mahmoud Hammo and his family rest in peace, and may their memories be a source of strength during these dark times.
