A very emotional update after one week at COP26.
We're so tired. Marginalised people are tired. We're being excluded and ignored and forced to watch them not care.
And we still have to get through one more week of this.
#COP26
While we are staring at our imperialist wonder wars, this is happening without getting the attention it is owed. Ghana is drowning. More than 470 people rescued by the Ghana National Fire Service. Floodwaters submerged roads, neighborhoods, businesses&vehicles across Accra&Tema.
This is so dehumanizing and terrorizing.
An israeli terr*rist battalion named “Netzah Yehuda Battalion” has just posted this photo of a Palestinian they took hostage recently in Gaza.
I like you to know while everyone soaks in this heatwave that israel is trapping all the Palestinian survivors of the genocide in a confined hell hole that gets smaller every day where they’re forced to whistand insurmountable weather extremes on top of being killed everyday.
The Other Face of Gaza… How the Occupation Changed Lives and Faces
“My children and people are afraid of how I look… I face painful and difficult situations every day.”
With these words, Najwa Abu Atiwi, a mother of five, describes the tragedy she has been living through since she suffered severe injuries in an Israeli airstrike that completely changed her face.
Najwa sustained devastating injuries, including extensive fractures to her facial bones, upper jaw, nose, and cheek. She also lost her right eye entirely. Despite undergoing several surgeries, she continues to suffer from severe facial disfigurement and extreme difficulty opening her mouth, eating, and speaking, turning even the simplest daily tasks into a painful struggle.
The suffering is not only physical. The psychological pain runs even deeper. Najwa lost one of her daughters, and with that loss came another devastating reality—she also lost her facial features. Today, even her own children are frightened by her appearance.
Doctors warn that her condition could worsen due to the severe lack of medical resources and the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system. They stress that she urgently needs to travel abroad for treatment, including reconstructive surgery for her facial bones and skull, a prosthetic eye, and complex surgeries to rebuild her nose and eyelids.
Najwa does not only need medical treatment—she needs a second chance at life.
A chance to reclaim her face, her smile, and her ability to embrace her children without fear.
Save Najwa before it is too late.
If you are being affected by the heatwave, think about us in Gaza who have no electricity, no fans, no way to cool ourselves. The bombs only make it feel hotter.
