🇵🇸🇮🇱 About one million people in Gaza are facing reduced water after Israel cut supplies from its grid.
At the same time, five of Israel’s six desalination plants have been forced offline by a Mediterranean microalgae bloom.
Officials blame algae drifting from the Nile Delta. Other experts say untreated sewage from Gaza’s wrecked treatment plants may be feeding the same coastal problem.
You can shut off a neighbor’s tap but you can't wall off the sea.

This is pure insanity and 100% real, children flying kites are a target for Israel.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the military to treat any kite flown from Gaza as an “act of war,” even without explosives, and to attack anyone flying them.
Flying kites has long been a popular pastime among Gaza’s children during years of blockade and severe economic hardship.
Katz also threatened to forcibly displace residents and attack areas where kites are flown if it continues.
The order came after several children’s kites drifted into Israeli settlements near Gaza.
Israeli authorities acknowledged the recovered kites contained no explosives or suspicious material and posed no danger.
Israel says kites flown from Gaza should be treated like weapons of war. Its strikes have now killed a four-year-old Palestinian boy. A senior Hamas official says children fly kites "in search of their innocent childhood amid the rubble."

Israeli raids and settler attacks are intensifying across the occupied West Bank, with Palestinians reporting demolitions, injuries and growing fears of further escalation.
🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israeli strike hit the main medical warehouse at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital and shredded the tents of displaced families next to it.
Local: “What did we do to deserve this? … Today, we have no shelter.”
They were woken at 2 or 3 a.m. and ordered to flee.
Everything gone, from tents to food...water, bedding, dialysis supplies.
It's devastation in every sense of the word.

Five years ago, Salman, Madiha, Yumnah, and Talat Afzaal were killed in a brutal act of Islamophobic terror in London, Ontario.
We stand with their loved ones and the Muslim community across Canada who still live with the loss and the trauma of this tragedy.
It is our duty to match remembrance with responsibility. Through concrete actions, including new legislation to combat Islamophobia and hate in our communities, we will build a country where all Muslim Canadians can live their lives without fear.
They’re mocking the wailing sounds of Palestinian parents they’ve murdered. Using the blankets of children they’ve murdered. They mock, and one day they will be mocked. May that day come soon. Ameen

a friend shared this Dua to me for Laylatul Qadr and i also want to share with y’all
Ya Allah... I come to You tonight with a heart that is not perfect, with a record that is not clean, with a soul that has wandered too many times. I have disappointed You more than I can count yet you still allow me to reach this night
Do not let me leave it the same. Wash me completely not just from sin, but from the love of sin.
Ya Allah... there are parts of me I don't show anyone. The doubts. The insecurities. The fears about my future. The guilt about my past. You see it all. If I am breaking inside, mend me. If I am lost, guide me. If I am weak, strengthen me. I have no refuge except You.
Ya Allah... if I have grown distant from You, pull me back gently. If my heart has hardened, soften it with Your remembrance. If I have chosen dunya over You too many times, forgive me and realign my priorities. Do not let this world become bigger in my heart than my akhirah.
Ya Allah... forgive me for every prayer I rushed, every blessing I took for granted, every sin I justified, every moment I chose disobedience over gratitude. I am ashamed of my shortcomings, but I am hopeful in Your mercy. You are greater than my worst mistakes.
Ya Allah... if You know that my heart will not survive another year in the same state, then transform me tonight.
Remove from me what is pulling me away from You even if it hurts. Replace it with what will bring me closer to Jannah.
Ya Allah... grant my parents forgiveness that reaches the heavens, health that eases their bodies, and light that fills their graves when they return to You. Make me a source of ongoing reward for them, not a source of regret.
Ya Allah... protect me from a death that comes suddenly while I am heedless. Let my final moments be filled with remembrance, with sincerity, with Your pleasure. Let my last breath carry Your name.
Ya Allah... if tonight is Laylatul Qadr, then write me among those forgiven. Among those freed from the Fire. Among those whose destinies were changed because they cried to You sincerely. Let angels witness my tears and carry my du'as to the heavens.
Ya Allah... I am asking You for Jannah. Not because I deserve it, but because You are Al-Kareem. Save me from the Hellfire, even if my deeds are small. Let Your mercy be greater than my failures.
Ya Allah… when this night ends let me wake up as someone different. Cleaner. Softer. Closer to You. Do not let this be just another Ramadan night I wasted. Let it be the night that changed my eternity.
Ya Allah… if this is the night You descend with mercy, then do not pass me by. Do not let my name be written among the heedless. I am standing at Your door with nothing but hope.
My deeds are small. My sins are many. But my trust in You is greater than all of it. If You forgive me tonight, no one can question it. If You accept me tonight, no one can reject me.
So Ya Allah... look at me with mercy. Look at me with forgiveness. Look at me as a servant who is desperate for You and do not let me leave this night empty.
