Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.
Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.
Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.
Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.
At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.
This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.
What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.
URGENT: Thiago Ávila has NOT been released. HE REMAINS DETAINED IN ASHKELON PRISON.
The embassy has had zero contact with him whatsoever.
All previous reports are UNVERIFIED.
Please treat any updates with caution.
We cannot stop now.
Continue to pressure the authorities!
BREAKING: The Israeli naval vessel that abducted the 180 Sumud Flotilla crews off the coast of Crete (an act of piracy and a gross violation of the Law of the Sea) is intend on victimising two of them: Saif Abukeshek, a Spanish citizen of Palestinian origin, and Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian citizen who has distinguished himself with repeated attempts to break the illegal, genocidal, Israeli blockage of Gaza.
Unlike the remaining abducted members of the Sumud Flotilla crew, which the Israeli navy disembarked in Crete, Saif and Thiago are detained and bound for an Israeli prison. This is a double violation of International Law: First, Israel abducted them illegally at sea. Second, Israel is now transporting them, violently, illegally, to one of its notorious prisons.
Meanwhile, the Greek government is cooperating fully in Israel’s criminal behaviour, effectively surrendering its search and rescue obligations and conniving with Israel to victimise the brave crews of the Sumud Flotilla who are steadfastly, through their activism, defending International Law as well as the verdict of the International Court of Justice which has clearly and unequivocally declared Israel’s continued naval blockade of Gaza and its occupation of the Palestinian territories illegal.
Through their complicity and their silence, the Greek government, the European Union, the mainstream media, the West more generally, are flouting, indeed they are trashing, their supposed, much publicised, ‘Western values’. Let us all demand:
· The immediate release of Saif and Thiago
· An end to Israel’s criminal behaviour in international waters
· The termination of Israel’s illegal Gaza blockade
· That the Greek government and the European Union cease and desist from lending logistical and moral support to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its ethnic cleansing campaigns in E. Jerusalem and the West Bank
Onze taak is de regering te wijzen op hun verantwoordelijkheid tav de Gazanen. Hun taak is Israël keihard te veroordelen voor de genocide en diefstal van land! @MinPres Jij doet veel te weinig!
Deel dit bericht, retweet het met @MinPres in het adres. Wij moeten óók meer doen!
World leaders marched in Paris after the killing of Charlie Hebdo journalists
The irony: among them was Benjamin Netanyahu the killer of journalists in Gaza. An even greater irony: the world watches in silence as more than 270 journalists killed in Palestime
I cannot accept what has happened to us, nor what has befallen my city, nor the people I loved and lost. I cannot accept the loss of my memories, my education, and the dreams I used to draw day by day and try to achieve.
I cannot accept what has happened to the olive trees, the green nature, and the beautiful flowers in Beit Hanoun, nor to Gaza’s clear sky, which has now become heavy with the smoke of war.
All of this is beyond my ability to endure.
I cannot hold back my tears, I cannot stop the pain, and I cannot stop the anger… yes, the anger that lives inside me and weighs on my heart every single moment.
‼️Away from the eye, away from the heart: the genocide continues. Compounding the killing/barring of journalists and the expulsion/paralysis of humanitarian orgs, Israel's NGO ban is part of the intentional creation of conditions of life designed to destroy the Palestinian people
The event that has MOST caused the complete collapse of the post WW2 laws & norms designed to make the world safer, is the GENOCIDE in Gaza
For over 2 years, the whole world has seen pitiless mass murder day after day and politicians & media shrugged, ignored or cheered it on
