Human Being above anything else...

Italian artist Eduardo Castaldo has unveiled an artwork titled ‘Holy Mothers of Gaza’ inside Naples’ Pappacoda Chapel. By peeling back the painting’s outer layer, the work reveals an actual photograph from Gaza, captured by Palestinian photojournalist Omar El Qattaa.

I got a visa to India and was supposed to leave this morning to attend the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad. I had been invited as a panelist and speaker on the future of media and press freedom.

But «orders from above» in the Ministry of Home Affairs have cancelled my visa.

Here is my message for @AmitShah

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

My previous tweet is approaching 1 million views, and I want to use this reach to make an urgent appeal to the world.

Allow caravans and mobile housing units into Gaza. Open the way for construction materials and reconstruction equipment to enter. Repair the water and sewage networks and rainwater drainage systems.

Enough of the humiliation of human dignity in Gaza. Enough of leaving families and children to live in these degrading conditions. People here are not asking for the impossible. They are asking for shelter that protects them and a life in which their dignity is respected.

Act now, before the rain washes away what little remains of these people's lives.

[Dr. Annie Andrews @AnnieAndrewsMD]

Horrifying, heart-breaking, and morally unconscionable.

@Ed_Miliband Let's get real Ed, the Israeli government isn't going to act on any of your words. Israel is a rogue state and needs sanctioning NOW. End all sales of arms and expel their ambassadors from the UK, until they COMPLY.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse. Heavy rain. Flooded tents. The reality on the ground is heartbreaking.

The UK government will not stand by. We will not rest until we bring an end to the intolerable suffering.

Antilia, one of the world’s most expensive private residences, stands on land once owned by a trust for orphaned children. Think about the irony: land meant to shelter the underprivileged now houses one of the richest families on Earth. Legal or not, is this morally right?

इनकी बेजुबान आँखें बहुत कुछ कहती हैं, पर हम अपनी आतिशबाजी के शोर में इनकी चीखें नहीं सुन पाते। जरा सोचिए, हमारे कुछ पलों का जश्न कैसे इनकी पूरी रात का डर बन जाता है?

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The images of kids submerged in freezing floodwater, in flimsy tents that won't survive another winter, make me SICK.

I think of Primo Levi’s words that every European learns by heart at school - only to forget when entering politics or diplomacy.

The shame of our time.

Gaza is drowning: freezing cold, wind, storms & floodwaters soaking everything, & no leader anywhere is doing anything @Persianserene1

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Heavy rains and strong winds have flooded and damaged displacement tents across Gaza.

The storm is worsening the already dire conditions for Palestinians bracing for a fourth winter amid Israel’s continuing genocide.

[Dr. Jill Stein🌻 @DrJillStein]

The water is almost certainly full of sewage as well.
This is torture on a mass scale.

When someone says: "I don't know how to help"?

But all I'm asking is for people share and leave a dot.

Anyone who has camped in serious rain knows how miserable it can be, especially when your attempts to keep the rain out fail. All you want is to feel dry again. When it’s cold it’s exponentially worse. When you’re with your kids, you feel awful for them as they shiver. Now imagine the tent is your forced home, the water keeps rising, and there’s nowhere to go to get dry or warm.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.

Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.

I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.

We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.

I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.

What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?

I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Apple putting all the destroyed buildings back in Gaza on Maps isn’t just wrong to do because it’s an inaccurate depiction, it’s terrifying. If a company with as much notoriety and influence as Apple wants to whitewash a genocide, what’s next? Shame on you, Apple.
