Starvation. The unacceptable face of Israel’s war on Gaza.

A doctor from an international aid agency took these pictures 10th April at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

The desperate parents gave permission to publish these.

I’m heartbroken. My mum has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and we are trying to raise money for a life changing treatment. Any donation, no matter the size will contribute to her treatment and go a long way ❤️

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

The #BDS movement just updated the list of boycott, pressure, divestment and exclusion campaigns!

Ending all state, corporate and institutional complicity with Israel is more urgent than ever. Act now! Escalate all #BDS campaigns to end #GazaGenocide!

"And when the gas of Nevermind threatened to come back, there was always the dirt. The solid dirt in the Cave that the Pynk Hotel shared with me, to heal."

This month we're reading/watching from the @JanelleMonae Dirty Computer universe.
