[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨Heart wrenching: Youssef, a nine year old boy, sits by a small fire made from scraps of paper. With quiet sorrow, he says, “My uncle and his son were killed.”

In a heartbreaking moment, he expresses a simple wish not for safety, toys, or comfort, but: “I want to eat fruits and chicken.”

His words reflect the unbearable reality of Gaza’s children enduring both hunger and loss under ongoing Israeli bombardment.

@yaycork Fantastic, well done & thank you Paddy & Tadgh 🇵🇸🇮🇪 #Cork #Cobh

Cork's Paddy O'Donovan and Tadhg Hickey are aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, which is now less than 90km from Gaza, carrying urgent humanitarian aid. Watch their progress live here👇 #flotillaglobalsumud https://t.co/Tu4glgqV4x

David Drainman & his band Disturbed are set to play the @3ArenaDublin on Oct 22nd.
Here he is signing IOF bombs to maim & murder innocent Palestinian men, women, & children.

We do not want this vile, repulsive shithead anywhere near our capital.

Shame on you @mcd_productions

This is Zionism

You cannot negotiate with this type of evil

Like Nazism, it has to be defeated

[Translating Falasteen (Palestine) @translatingpal]

On May 7, 2025, 14-year-old Musab Ali Musa Al-Dibs sustained a critical injury from an Israeli occupation bombing that resulted in a portion of his skull being removed and severe brain hemorrhaging, leaving him completely paralyzed. Since then, his condition has only worsened due to the ongoing US-Israeli engineered famine and total blockade on Gaza

Musab now suffers from acute malnutrition, and his immobility has led to extreme pressure ulcers, made worse by the lack of nutrition and basic medical supplies. His mother, speaking from Al-Shifa Hospital, issued a heartfelt plea: “I appeal to the World Health Organization. I appeal to Save the Children. Please, get him out of Gaza. He deserves to be treated. I want to hear him say ‘Mom’ again. I’m losing him every day.” To contact the family: 00972566944220

❗️Mohammad Zakaria Al-Mutawwaq, just one and a half years old, is suffering from severe toxic malnutrition, one of the worst medical conditions brought on by the Israeli occupation’s total blockade and the US-Israeli engineered famine.

Before the genocide began, Mohammad was a healthy, smiling child with normal weight. Now, his body has withered to just 6 kilograms. His mother, Hidaya Al-Mutawwaq, says getting him milk is nearly impossible. Diapers, clothes, even a mattress or pillow are unavailable. They are living in a borrowed tent with nothing of their own. All she wishes for is a small mattress and a pillow so her child can raise his head and rest like any baby should.

[UN Human Rights Palestine @OHCHR_Palestine]

The desperation caused by a lack of food and other necessities of life is forcing Palestinians to approach GHF sites and humanitarian convoys, even though between 27 May and 21 July, 1,054 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military in Gaza while trying to access food. Of these, 766 were killed in the vicinity of GHF sites and 288 around UN and other aid convoys. #Gaza

Thank you @irishcongress for calling out the shocking claims of the business lobby regarding the Occupied Territories Bill. This is a modest measure, the bare minimum under int law. We should not be trading and profiting from war crimes!

Urgent Humanitarian Appeal
Omar Al-Hasri, a 12-year-old boy, is the sole survivor of his family after their home in Gaza was bombed. He lost his mother and entire family and is now suffering from severe burns.
Omar is currently at Al-Shifa Hospital and urgently needs medical care that is unavailable in Gaza due to the ongoing blockade and lack of resources.
We appeal to humanitarian organizations to help evacuate Omar and provide the treatment he desperately needs.

مناشدة إنسانية عاجلة
الطفل عمر الحصري (12 عامًا) هو الناجي الوحيد من عائلته بعد قصف منزلهم في غزة. فقد والدته وكل أسرته، ويُعاني الآن من حروق خطيرة.
عمر يرقد في مستشفى الشفاء ويحتاج علاجًا عاجلًا لا يتوفر في غزة بسبب
نقص الإمكانيات.
نناشد الجهات الإنسانية لنقل عمر وتوفير الرعاية اللازمة

🚨BREAKING | The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation @GHFUpdates proposes a plan for building concentration camps within Gaza. The concentration camps will serve as precursor locations before Palestinians are ethnically cleansed and shipped off to different locations. This evil organization of terror needs to be dismantled and ended now.

[Translating Falasteen (Palestine) @translatingpal]

❗️Just watched "Doctors Under Attack", the documentary that BBC tried to gag and Channel 4 and Zeteo later published. Over half of the documentary is clips stolen from Palestinians in Gaza without their permission. What publishing rights to these parties have over the genocide of our people? It's disgusting that they choose to delay its release and then finally put it behind a paywall.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

"Iran doesn't have nukes. Israel does.
Iran is a signatory to the NPT. Israel isn't.
Iran has allowed IAEA inspectors into its country.
Israel doesn't."

But Israel's the victim?
My video for Zeteo on how the media's coverage of this crisis is abysmally biased.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

I don't know, Ursula, I think it might, in fact, be the state committing genocide and bombing Occupied Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

In Gaza, months of inadequate food and nourishment have left Osama, 5, severely malnourished.

Even as he receives initial treatment, his full recovery depends on sufficient nutrition and follow-up care.

Aid at scale must be allowed into Gaza for children's health and survival.
