[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

Today was my shift at the hospital.
Since our return to the Indonesian Hospital, I’ve been working side by side with two doctors. One of them was Dr. Mahmoud Abu Amsha.

This morning, he was late.
We called. No answer.
We waited. Still, no sign.

Then the news came, cruel and sudden: Mahmoud had been killed in an airstrike. His body was brought to the very hospital where we stood waiting for him in silence that no words could fill.

I’ve known Mahmoud not just as a colleague, but as a brother in the trenches.
When the Israeli army stormed northern Gaza and most doctors fled for their lives, Mahmoud stayed. He and Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya were the last to hold the line at Kamal Adwan Hospital. Mahmoud - the only remaining surgeon - worked tirelessly in a place that had become more graveyard than hospital.

From inside, he sent me voice notes. Fragments of despair and courage. I posted them here, hoping someone, somewhere, would listen.

When the hospital finally fell, Mahmoud was taken. Beaten. Then released.
He made it to Gaza City with nothing not even his shoes. We went together to buy him some clothes. I teased him that he wouldn’t get to wear them all before another evacuation forced him to leave them behind.
I didn’t know then that his next departure would be eternal, not displacement this time, but disappearance into the silence of death.

When I opened our free clinic, I messaged him.
He was still trapped in Kamal Adwan.
“Just stay alive,” I told him. “Come when you can.”
He survived. He showed up. He volunteered two days a week, treating the wounded without asking for anything in return. With his hands, he healed. With his presence, he gave us hope.

And now, he’s gone.
Another light extinguished in a city of endless mourning.

Mahmoud’s death is not just mine to grieve. It is a wound in the heart of Gaza’s medical soul. It is a loss to the patients who will never know his care, to the children who will never feel his steady hands in the ER, to the future we are watching collapse one healer at a time.

We did not lose just a doctor.
We lost resistance in its noblest form.
We lost mercy.

Rest well, my friend.
You gave everything.

Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, the director of the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, said that he's not exaggerating when he says that Gaza is taking its last breaths.

In all 17 months of the 'Israeli' genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, things have never been this bad.

🚨HORRIBLE: Israel killed four siblings in southern Gaza :Abdul Rahman (4 years), Imad (8 years), Islam (14 years), and Yazan Maqdad (14 years) ‼️

Their parents Maysa and Mohamed survived, but with wounds that will never heal, left to mourn the loss of all their children‼️
EVİL‼️‼️

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

Zionists are animals, the very lowest types of people, fascists who enjoy and get off and abusing women and children. This is who the United States has decided to empower and protect: the scummiest, most cowardly people on earth.

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Meral used to sit outside this UN shelter, awaiting her dad, Ahmad who’d hold her tightly each time, play with her & buy her some sweets

Israel murdered him 4 months ago, but Meral still sits & waits for him everyday since, hoping he’d show up again

Israel orphaned over 38,000

We found the beheaded babies again and again. They were Palestinian. The West said nothing and only sent more bombs

Breaking: The Israeli army slaughtered journalist Mohammad Saleh Al-Bardawil along with his wife and children.

Head of the Bakery Owners Association in the Gaza Strip, Abdel Nasser Al-Ajrami:

All bakeries in the Gaza Strip closed today due to a shortage of flour and diesel.

The World Food Program informed us today that flour had run out in its warehouses.

The number of bakeries supported by the World Food Program is 18, and their closure will lead to widespread famine in the Strip.

The bakeries will no longer operate until the occupation opens the crossings and allows the necessary supplies to enter.

We call on the world to pressure the occupation to open the crossings to prevent the famine from worsening in the Strip.

[Steve Sosebee @Stevesosebee]

We haven’t been able to get aid into Gaza for nearly a month. No food, nothing. Children are starving. Everyone knows.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

[Nahed hajjaj @nahed_hajjaj99]

Everyone by now has seen this video of a Palestinian father running after the ambulance which carries his killed family.

He was shot at while chasing them.

If this isn’t a genocide, I don’t know what is.

رحم الله الحبيب ابو يزن 🤲

Just a personal note.
My membership of the National Union of Journalists was refused renewal because I was deemed "not fit and proper"
based on social media posts allegedly by me which the union refused to show me so I have no idea what they said,
following an objection raised by NUJ members working for the BBC.
BBC journalists are not in Lebanon, but reporting the zionist line from Israel.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

A Palestinian doctor who seems to have been raped and killed in Israeli custody.

Don’t look away.

[LisaMarie @RedactedRosalia]

Has it come to this? Have we become so disassociated that we see a truck full of Palestinians, bleeding and in pain, and simply move on to the next segment? Is this what our society has become? Have we fallen so low that we believe either party will rise above the system? Have we surrendered to the New World Order, or will we rise up and reclaim our humanity?

Destroying dialysis machines doesn't fight Hamas or release Israeli captives. It does kill people with kidney disease though.

[Habib Battah @habib_b]

Look at the AC units and the little plants on balconies where breakfast happens and clothes dry. To consider these family homes as “targets” is to adopt the mindset of a sociopathic serial killer.
