Honestly, I don’t know how to describe what I lived through today. Even though I have been living in Gaza and documenting what is happening since the beginning of the war, what I witnessed today was one of the most shocking and painful scenes of my entire life.

A group of families living in a very remote camp, almost directly beside the Israeli sand berms, contacted us. They told us they had not received water for a long time. At first, we hesitated because reaching the area with a water truck meant entering an extremely dangerous zone. In the end, we decided to try.

Throughout the journey, I saw destruction and rubble everywhere, but the scene that awaited us near the camp was unlike anything else. Directly in front of us were the sand berms and Israeli cranes, surrounded by a landscape of devastation where little remained except tents and ruins.

When the water truck was still about a kilometer away, people began shouting and running toward it. Women, children, and elderly people carried empty water containers and ran with all the strength they had, terrified that the water would run out before their turn came.

The moment the truck stopped, large numbers of people emerged from among the rubble and damaged tents. They were not looking for food, shelter, or anything else. They were looking for water. Just water.

This time we distributed 6,000 liters of clean water, more than we had distributed before, but even that was not enough. Many people remained waiting, and some left without receiving enough water for their families.

As we distributed the water and documented what was happening, fear never left us for a single moment. Yet what I felt in the face of such immense suffering was greater than fear itself.

Today I witnessed a level of thirst I never imagined I would see. I saw mothers running after a water truck, and children clutching empty containers as if they were holding on to their last hope.

I thought I had already seen everything during this war, but what I witnessed today made me realize that the humanitarian catastrophe is far greater than what the world sees on television screens. This is not simply a shortage of services or difficult living conditions. It is a daily struggle for the most basic necessities of survival.

We are facing a real humanitarian disaster that grows worse with each passing day, while thousands of families wake up every morning searching for one thing only: water.

Vietnam again. Brick is not a primitive material, it’s a climate solution.

The Bat Trang House wraps a 740m² family home in a porous ceramic facade inspired by the pottery village it sits in. Trees grow through the center. The courtyard pulls air through every floor. Heat and light filtered naturally through jali screens.

Working with your climate instead of fighting it. The material existed. The knowledge existed. The decision was all that was missing.

Bombing the center of a capital should be unthinkable. Apparently it depends on the city — and who’s dropping the bombs.

In London, Paris or Washington this would be a global crisis. Here it barely registers.

‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ star Motaz Malhees says he cannot enter the U.S. for the #Oscars this Sunday because of his Palestinian citizenship:

“It hurts. But here is the truth. You can block a passport. You cannot block a voice.”

the coolest thing about ethnobotany as an ethnobotanist myself is learning how often animals teach us what’s edible and safe to consume and what isn’t. animals do so much for us!

saw a post earlier that used the phrase “preemptively killing children just in case they grow up” and i’ve never seen a more accurate description of israel’s project. israel and the united states are incompatible with humanity

Destabilizing our economy and removing social safety nets means people are stuck in survival mode to the point where they're too busy trying to afford groceries, medications, and find jobs to pay attention to anything outside their personal lives. Apathy bred by desperation.

Linda was minutes away from the school where she taught a special education class when ICE agents rammed their vehicles into her car while chasing a US citizen.
They struck her car, and left her to bleed out without offering any type of first aid until the paramedics arrived.

Today we mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a giant of the civil rights movement who never stopped demanding that America live up to its promise.

He marched, he ran, he organized and he preached justice without apology.

May we honor him not just in words, but in struggle.
