Education on slavery is so bad that we have people thinking that chattel slavery only happened in the U.S. So much of this shit downwind of how people try to pretend that antiblackness only exists in the US too

Down to the cruel working conditions 😭

When my brother was released from prison, he was no longer the same it was not just a release, but as if he carried with him the pain of everyone who remained there.

He told us about the spread of severe skin diseases among the prisoners, caused by long months without bathing, without changing clothes, in the absence of water and any means of hygiene or sterilization. He said the suffocating smells filled the cells, and their bodies ached from constant neglect.

He told us about the extreme overcrowding in the cells, where dozens were crammed into a space too small for them, with no room to sit or sleep, taking turns lying down, spending long hours standing. No air, no sunlight, only closed walls and a suffocating confinement that crushed the spirit before the body.

He spoke about interrogations… about the harsh, repeated torture, the beatings, humiliation, and psychological pressure, just because he was from Gaza. He told us about starvation, about meals that were not enough even for a child, and a constant feeling of dizziness and exhaustion.

He told us about the biting cold, about long nights without blankets, shivering until morning, and wet clothes that never dried. About sickness… about unbearable pain, untreated wounds, and medicine denied to them, as if they were left to suffer in silence.

But what was worse than all of this… was the psychological destruction. He told us they were deprived of sleep for days, the lights kept on day and night, and shouting in their faces continuously. Sometimes they were forced to sleep while their hands were bound, in painful positions, unable to move or rest.

He said they were subjected to humiliating searches repeatedly, stripped of privacy and dignity. He told us about isolation, total disconnection from the world, no letters, no visits, no knowledge of their fate or their families… only emptiness, fear, and waiting.

He told us about moments when some completely broke under the pressure, silent crying in the dark, losing hope, people who changed completely and were no longer the same. Some became mentally ill, some lost the ability to speak, and some lived in total silence.

He told us things things the mind cannot comprehend, and the heart cannot bear. We listened, caught between shock and helplessness, as if hearing about another world but it was real.

The condition of prisoners in the jails is tragically beyond description. All of this happens, is reported, and yet nothing changes.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING: A new UN report finds that Israel’s assault on Gaza - with the destruction of health care, education, infrastructure, even the banking system - has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded.
This is not war: it is genocide.

I want u to hear these 2 doctors from Australia sending their last words, fully aware they could be killed any second.

What they’re describing is horror that defies belief.
70% of their patients are kids…

We are not exaggerating when we say that your support for our campaigns and activities saves lives. Every donation reduces the need for people to go there and become the next victims of those monsters. https://t.co/R0LvkKZUQu

“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”

Aqsa Durrani is a pediatric doctor and board member of Doctors Without Borders USA, with nearly twenty years of experience in humanitarian projects. During our interview Aqsa repeatedly expressed a desire to center the voices of her Palestinian colleagues. To this end I’ve spent the past week collecting stories from the Palestinian staff of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days. I’m so grateful for the time that these people gave me; they were sleepless, hungry, traumatized, and often working 24-hour shifts. Because of the unreliable internet connection their images are sometimes grainy. Their words, however, will be crystal clear.

Regeringens uttalanden mot Israel verkar mest ha varit en charad. Man fortsätter vägra hjälp till palestinska skadade, trots att svensk vård uttrycker villighet att ta emot - man vill inte heller förbjuda vapenexport och stoppet till UNRWA fortsätter https://t.co/M5jr7we1m1

We’re at Stage 5 of Malnutrition in Gaza. This is irreversible. I can’t believe I’m writing these words.

BREAKING:

Thousands of volunteers from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt are heading to Gaza by land to deliver aid and break the siege.

France is finally starting to wake up after Israel kidnapped French MEP Rima Hassan.

They're shouting: "Gaza, Gaza, Paris est avec toi" ("Gaza, Paris is with you")

Hey @PopCulture2000s here is the whole thing with subtitles.

What happens after the bombs stop? These 20 voices from Gaza will show you the cost of war—and the strength of those who survive it.
