This heartbreaking image, taken by photographer Mahmoud Hams in Gaza City on October 4, 2019, shows young Palestinian girls in deep collective mourning after losing loved ones to IOF bullets
It powerfully captures the grief of children in Gaza long before the current genocide, highlighting the ongoing cycle of loss under the blockade and occupation.
Their small hands cover faces twisted in sorrow no child should ever know — a silent scream against the violence that has stolen their innocence for generations.
In Gaza, children do not just lose parents.
They lose entire worlds.
They mourn in the rubble, comfort each other in the darkness, and somehow still find the strength to hold on.
This is the cost of the occupation — generations of broken hearts and unhealed trauma.
May their tears water the seeds of justice.
May their pain fuel the cry for freedom.
We see you, little ones.
The world must not look away.
أجواء حارقة في غزة الآن والحياة في الخيام لا تطاق، اللهم لا تجمع على أهل الخيام حرارة الشمس فوق حرارة الحـرب، اللهم اجعل حرارة هذا الصيف برداً وسلاماً على قلوبهم وقلوب أطفالهم !!
A teenager holding a white flag shot down from a quadcopter in his own home. A newborn baby shot in the head while breastfeeding inside a tent. These are some of the horrific accounts of Israel’s targeting of Palestinian children from the UN’s latest report. @mehdirhasan shares:
There is no rise in anti-Semitism. There is a rise in the number of people who are very angry at what Israel is doing. Your inability to separate the two is equally problematic.
En #Líbano, como en #Gaza, la impunidad marca el destino de millones de personas inocentes.
Por eso desde UNRWA trabajamos cada día para ofrecer servicios esenciales a la población refugiada de Palestina.

“La espalda marcada por las cicatrices de Gordon expuso la brutalidad de la esclavitud hace más de 160 años.
Hoy, la espalda torturada del palestino Mohammad Abu Tawileh cuenta una historia similar. Otro tiempo, otro lugar, pero la misma lógica: deshumanización, dominación y violencia justificadas en nombre del poder colonial.”
Today, 4,000 liters of fresh water were provided to displaced people in northern Gaza. I was with the children as they filled their containers, including children who have lost their parents and are now struggling to survive alone. It's a heartbreaking reality beyond words, and every bit of support that reaches them makes a real difference.
It took me a couple of days to read the latest @UN Commission of Inquiry's report on how Israel is deliberately targeting Palestinian children. I had to stop, again and again, just to breathe. The level of devastation, the detail, the evidence, it is overwhelming.
The findings are devastating and unequivocal: Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in #Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank.
At @Amnesty, we documented the genocide in Gaza in our report published in December 2024, and more recently detailed evidence of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. We know the patterns. We have exposed the atrocities. Yet reading this report still shakes you to the core. It goes deeper into the intent, into the systematic nature of the violence, into the unbearable reality that children themselves are being targeted.
This is not collateral damage. This is not incidental. This is deliberate. Children, killed, maimed, traumatized, deprived not only of safety, but of any possibility of a future. Entire generations being erased in plain sight.
How much more evidence does the world need? How many more reports must confirm what is already undeniable?
Governments cannot continue to look away. Silence and inaction, in this moment, are complicity.
This must end. Israel must be held fully accountable.

One of the dirtiest and most horrific crimes committed by the occupation army against us;
At the beginning of the genocide, it launched a wide campaign of arrests targeting many families, with the majority being women. It then used the detainees as human shields, and after that, executed most of them. Those who remained alive still have no known whereabouts to this day.
What Gaza and its families have been subjected to is beyond description — something that can never be forgotten and can never be forgiven.
هذه هي إسرائيل التي تكالبت السلطة اللبنانية على الاعتراف بها.
يقيم إسرائيليون شاشات عرض في الهواء الطلق لبثّ مشاهد تدمير بلدات لبنانية بأكملها وتحويلها إلى أنقاض على يد الجيش الإسرائيلي، ويهتفون ويصفقون أثناء ذلك.
هؤلاء مدنيون عاديون، وليسوا جنودًا أو مسؤولين، يجتمعون للتصفيق للدمار والموت.
“NO DIGAS "¿QUÉ SERÁ DE MÍ?"...
Me dirijo a todos los administradores de páginas que vieron este video y no han publicado nada sobre Palestina hasta hoy:
Pueden saltarse este video, pero cuando se acuesten esta noche, no podrán escapar de los gritos de esos niños. Ahora compartan una historia y rompan el silencio.”
