❗Research from Save the Children: Palestinian children are being physically, emotionally and sexually abused, humiliated and starved in Israeli military detention.
The torture, and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of children, is getting worse.
🔴 More than half of the formerly-detained children we surveyed reported witnessing or experiencing sexual violence
🔴 99% reported physical assault
🔴 82% reported being forcibly stripped naked
🔴 94% reported being denied medical care
🔴 100% reported being denied contact with their families

@YvetteCooperMP, @HFalconerMP: the UK Government should publicly call for the release of all Palestinian children arbitrarily detained and call for an end to Israeli military authorities arresting, detaining and prosecuting children.
i feel so guilty for being able to live normally while being aware of the fact that there's people dying to exist. there's literal people who are being killed for nothing.
2025 has ended. The genocide in Gaza has not.

Send some love to our team who are doing the back breaking work of cleaning up Gaza with nothing more than shovels and brooms. https://t.co/jw67AhauWA. Every day they are going to destroyed buildings and clearing dust and rubble with their bare hands so that families can move back in before the winter months.
The occupation has only allowed in a total of 115 “fuel and energy trucks” (meaning diesel, cooking gas, and gasoline), a fraction of the 1,100 trucks that were promised to be allowed in during this period of time post “ceasefire.” These items are an integral part of the clean up as they allow the operation of trucks and tractors that can be used to remove the rubble. By only allowing in 10% of the agreed upon amount they are deliberately obstructing the cleaning out and cleaning up process.
Join our “Yalla, Na’merha” initiative under our Return Home Campaign to help the Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project teams help make buildings habitable and allow families to move back home. We need donations to cover labor, fuel for tractors, tarps to repair the walls of buildings, transportation fees to relocate people North, and more. The link for the Return Home Campaign.

🚨 Tomorrow, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya faces a hearing to rubberstamp the extension of his arbitrary detention — without charges or trial – for another six months. Dr. Hussam should have never been detained in the first place, let alone subjected to this ordeal of torture and abuse. Israel must immediately and unconditionally release Dr. Hussam and all arbitrarily detained Palestinians.

The pediatric department at Nasser Hospital requested our help!! Support: https://t.co/mykxffL3Rr
There is a huge influx of patients at the hospital in Khan Younis due to displacements from the North and the number of malnourished and sick babies being born daily. In a 24 hour period, the pediatric ward had 1,000 patients visit with is 10x the usual number. Mothers, babies, children are sprawled out on the hospital floor because of the overcrowding.
The Sameer Project responded by delivering 30 mattresses so that the huge number of cases have somewhere to rest and recover. Each mattress cost $75, with the total coming to $2,239 after 11% commission.
We are always glad to be able to support the hospitals that are working so hard to take care of patients. Please donate to our Medical Campaign to help us do so: https://t.co/mykxffL3Rr

The bombings are continuing, the famine is ongoing, and Gaza is reaching an absolute breaking point. HELP: https://t.co/6l9JFjXgdv. The situation is dire in every respect. Hospitals cannot treat the injured, there is no fuel, people are searching for water in the heat, babies are dying from malnutrition, Gaza is screaming from the suffering, and the world is ignoring its wails.
We are nearing catastrophic levels of famine in which all 2 million people will not have food to eat. Our teams cannot find enough basic ingredients to make our big batch pots, so we have been providing rice meals to the camps that rely on us and do not receive aid from anyone else. On July 13 Translating Falasteen (@translatingpal) x The Sameer Project distributed 120 hot meals of rice to families in individual tents in al-Samer neighborhood in Gaza City. Each meal is approximately $11.50 after commission, or $1,492 for the rice alone after bank transfer, but not including transportation or labor.
The food we can find is expensive. We have to be able to help those who rely on us for sustenance. Donate to the North Campaign.

If aid does not enter within 48 hours—especially baby formula and flour—then you will witness the largest mass death crime in history!
We have been living in a true famine for many weeks and are all suffering from severe malnutrition.
All Gaza is starving!
Do not be surprised when we journalists stop covering news here. I swear by God that today I could not get up from the hunger. There is no food. Even if someone has money, there is nothing in the market to even purchase.
We are all starving. We are all dying.
I don’t know if anyone saw this horrific story of Rose, a young carer forced to repay £2000? She’s been looking after her mum since she was EIGHT, and has set up a crowdfund to help clear the debt but has ZERO donations. Can we help Rose??

They genuinely don't realise what seeing kids being blown into pieces every day for 2 years—and their government arming and supporting it all—has done to people
