I have just watched an Lebanese man tell Al Jazeera how he was on his way home and he saw a strike and just knew his family was gone
He spoke to seeing his family body parts everywhere including his little girls head
Sorry Israel is such a disgusting nation
Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now.
Israel has launched 100 airstrikes on Lebanon in 10 minutes.
Striking South Lebanon, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley simultaneously.
This isn’t a ceasefire.
It’s mass bombardment of civilian areas.
“The Mumbai Metropolitan Region will resemble a desert in the next seven years. An irreversible loss of ecology, habitat, and the lives of local communities is on the cards.”
Can’t believe I’m posting horrific news from Manipur for the 2nd day in a row
2 MINORS KILLED in a late-night alleged explosive attack in Tronglaobi, Bishnupur district
Yesterday, 7-yr-old conflict-displaced girl was raped & murdered in a relief camp in Imphal
No words left 💔
The trans act has already started impacting our lives
My clinic has paused prescriptions, even for people who were already on HRT, for fear of inviting legal action. Despite clarifications and caveats, the reality on the ground is very different
Unpopular opinion, but the best dosas in India arent from Bangalore (no offence to Benne dosas but it is what is is 🤷🏼♀️)
Idli might still be up for debate, but Hyderabad wins this. Every single time !
That thin, crisp dosa, the ghee, that perfect caramelisation, the iconic upma topping… it just hits different.
Nothing else in India comes close !!
Do you remember him?
The hero, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya a historic legend shaped by days and defining moments.
They besieged him, injured him, chased him, and threatened him.
They killed his son a piece of his heart to force the evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital.
He buried his son in the hospital courtyard, refused to abandon his patients, and returned to continue his professional and national duty.
He even refused to leave Gaza, despite the fact that he and his family hold another nationality.
He stood firm with a resilience that even mountains cannot match.
A kind heart.
An icon of steadfastness and morality.
They arrested him and tortured him after his voice grew hoarse from pleading with a deaf world until the very last moment.
Today, his family says: “We are terrified,” fearing his physical liquidation under the prisoner execution law approved by the Israeli Knesset.
Free Hossam Abu Safiya.
He’s not just any chef. He’s one of Lebanon’s finest, known for his cooking.
But he’s put it all aside, rented a large kitchen, & is now cooking daily to support displaced families.
Please help with whatever you can. Every little bit makes a difference. Thank you 🙏
