In case you're not aware (you're not), Israel is currently launching a violent wave of airstrikes on different towns in the South of Lebanon, mostly on Nabatieh El Faouqa and Arabsalim.
I’m writing these words to you from inside Gaza City, and I say this with complete honesty: the reality here has become far worse than you can truly imagine.
Poverty has affected more than 90% of people here. Tents are packed tightly together in overcrowded camps; they have worn out, torn apart, and filled with holes, and they no longer protect us from the heat, cold, or rain. The area of the city where we can actually live is no more than 30%, and every day, homes that survived the war are being targeted.
Skin diseases are spreading frighteningly among children. Hospitals are out of service, and dental clinics have also started shutting down. There is an extreme shortage of water, foreign organizations have almost completely stopped operating, and cars are beginning to break down because of the lack of engine oil and spare parts. Education has completely collapsed, and the very limited supplies entering Gaza are nowhere near enough.
Life here is almost completely nonexistent. We live on promises, but nothing changes except that the suffering grows, needs multiply, and every day life becomes harsher and more complicated.
Gaza is not coming back to life… we are simply trying not to die.
Israeli soldiers implicated in the execution of 15 paramedics (who were only caught after a recording of the murders was recovered from the buried bodies) have been invited to run in the Sydney marathon.
But don't complain..that would be anti-semitic..
She was shot in the back by Zionists while she was eating in her tent yesterday. She was 10 years old.
The collective West is united in its support for genocide.
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
A young man and his mother were directly targeted by a missile while fleeing, in a scene that documents one of Israel's most heinous crimes.
A video that the world must never forget.
Beloved Palestinian academic, teacher & poet Refaat Alareer's (@GazaWritesBack) last poem before he was murdered by Israel was about the kids in Gaza playing with Kites.
Today Israel killed a 4 y.o kid for doing just that!
Brian Cox reads below Refaat's poem," If I Must Die"
This #art captures how I feel...
Missile hit meters away from me yesterday, but yeah, that's life here. Can't really dwell on it, got studies & dental training to worry about. One wish? Just survive this and finish my school soon. Can u help?

incase you haven't heard, israel has officially stated that they'll kill the kids who fly kites in gaza and that they take it as a form of "war". do with that information what you will 🙃
I can’t wrap my head around how much bombing happened yesterday, all over "kite" as an excuse. we're living through one of the darkest times in human history. I genuinely don't know what we're supposed to do just to have some peace and live.
Cara needs your help. We have been scraped a third time. This is now a targeted attack meant to cause artists pain.
Scrapers know we're a volunteer project with no financial means to respond. So they say it's legal, believing themselves untouchable.
We're taking action. 1/
@amberluvsbugs (who is my roommate) asked me to post this, her account was hacked and we dont know the severity yet so DO NOT accept any links from her!!!
Please spread this and inform any friendo's of her.
I will update once she has been able to resolve it.
This is so insane. A evil genocidal country went and illegally kidnapped peaceful protesters on international waters and now they are parading them around like cattle and NOT A SINGLE major news network is covering it.
Israel is on high alert arresting hundreds of civilians on ships bound for Gaza carrying weapons such as bread, milk and medicine.
The people of Gaza have the right to aid even under occupation and siege, but international law clearly doesn’t apply to Israel.
Maximum alert on the Flotilla!
Israel has been given license to threaten, kidnap and shoot at civilians ALSO in int'l waters!
Welcome to Apartheid without Borders - soon to be Apartheid Mediterranean Consortium.
Shame on the EU, its main enabler in this part of the world.
╱ hey friendly reminder
- the people of gaza are still being actively targeted and killed
- Lebanon is still actively getting bomb
- there is still an ongoing crisis happening in sudan and the congo.
- I*E is still terrorizing citizens in the US
- the US is censoring the
Our fleet is currently being intercepted by IOF forces.
Every step of the way, people have asked us why we keep sailing, knowing that we will be stopped. The question is not why we continue. The question is why israel is not stopped.
We reject the normalization of genocide.
We reject the normalization of siege and starvation.
We reject the normalization of piracy against peaceful civilians.
