A Palestinian child in Gaza, Ayoub, shows his broken glasses to a relative, the lens shattered and a piece slipped out after he fell, asking if they can be fixed and being told they cannot. "How am I supposed to see? With what?" he asks, in a small exchange that captures something far bigger than a pair of glasses.
Under the Israeli occupation's ongoing blockade and genocide, even the most basic medical and optical supplies are blocked from entering Gaza, with the Israeli occupation army systematically restricting aid through the closure of crossings and the obstruction of humanitarian deliveries. Replacing a child's glasses, an item taken for granted anywhere else in the world, has become impossible for families inside Gaza, where optometrists' clinics have been destroyed, lens-making equipment is unavailable, and the Israeli occupation continues to deny entry to medical supplies, eyewear, and essential equipment as part of a deliberate policy of collective punishment imposed on more than two million people.

Is this the UMG deal that Kendrick Lamar agreed on! That he wouldn't drop any more bombs, and Drake would go on a public humiliation tour. Bbl drizzy, Wah dwan Deliah and now this!
Immortal jellyfish make me mad because it's wasted potential. Fucking idiots solve immortality just to mindlessly float around forever and nothing else. All the time in the world and still can't walk on land, can't learn to speak, can't even evolve anymore. Embarrassing
