Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
I still cannot process what I heard today… it felt like stepping into something unreal. What is happening here must be told exactly as it is, because staying silent is no longer an option.
I went with my friend to a nearby camp to document the spread of rats, but what we found was far beyond a simple report. People there do not sleep at night. They stay awake for hours, watching over their children, afraid that the rats might reach them. Fear has become part of their daily lives, and exhaustion is written on every face.
Rats enter the tents through small openings, attacking the little food people have, tearing their clothes, and sometimes reaching their bodies while they sleep. I saw injuries and signs of infection, and I heard stories that are impossible to bear. One of them was about a bride preparing for her wedding, only for a rat to destroy her clothes… small details that reveal the scale of this tragedy.
There are no means to fight this, no poison, no solutions. The situation is getting worse day by day, and we are heading toward a real catastrophe. We need urgent intervention, we need caravans and safe shelter to protect people… because what is happening here is no longer bearable.
I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.
23 years ago today, American activist Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer as she tried to stop the demolition of a Palestinian home in Gaza.
⚠️ Final call for those who care.
❄️💔 Dr. Hossam’s lawyer warns: his heart is exhausted, his body shattered from continuous torture, and the freezing temperatures in his cell are worsening his suffering.
Between cold walls, the doctor who saved hundreds of children and the wounded is left with no adequate food, no heating, and his health is deteriorating day by day.
🔴 Every moment of silence is a contribution to his suffering.
Any delay in saving him could be the moment that costs him his life.
✊🏻 Speak about him… spread his name… do not let the voice of the doctor who saved lives fade away.
