My friend Mustafa called me from northern Gaza a few minutes ago.
The first thing he said was:
“ My phone battery is at 2%, and when I thought about who to call, I thought of you. I'm sure I'm going to die, my friend. This might be our last call. Since morning, I've been searching for a sip of water, but I can't find any. My friend, here everything leads to death. They've killed more than 50 people right in front of me. I escaped from them by a miracle, surviving a massacre where more than 27 people, 27 souls, were martyred. People here die and are left on the streets. You look at them and keep walking, as if they were just stones. I sleep on the streets; I have no one. I live alone, without my family. My phone is about to die. I want you to know that I love you and forgive me if I've ever wronged you. ”
The call suddenly ended. It seems the battery ran out.
Between every word, I was shedding tears, holding back the sound of my sobs. Every day, our hearts are burned. Why all of this? Why? Why, world? Why??? I wish I didn’t exist; I wish for death every moment.
he was studying software engineering from a tent, still living for the next day. it would be a disservice to their life to only remember them engulfed in flames. learn their names and stories.

How is anyone with empathy supposed to function on a daily basis when there is nothing but rolling footage of burnt and bloodied children piling up into mounds.
We are not okay. What is happening now is beyond imagination! A mosque sheltering dozens of displaced civilians was directly targeted by Israeli warplanes while they were sleeping. What is happening now is even more difficult than the early days of this genocide.
If you thought climate protesters blocking roads or throwing soup at art behind bullet proof glass was ‘too disruptive’ you’re gonna hate this next part
do y'all realize how fucking SCARY & HORRIFIC it is that the martyrs are EVAPORATED? isnotreal is having the green light to casually do that???? Do you realize the level of fcked upness and chaos this is? how theyree allowed to KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE? country leaders remain silent
Dear God I am so tired of watching these kids cry and suffer. Shame on all of us for allowing the horrors to continue as long as they have. Every single Palestinian child feels like my own child. They deserve so much more than this.
Fatima was killed in the pager attack. She was 9 years old. Then during her funeral, Israel set off another explosion killing mourners. Textbook terrorism.
