Good morning from Gaza, where the first act of rebuilding after genocide is restoring the education and future of a generation they tried to break.
These kindergarten students have just completed their school year. Over the past year, they still attended classes under Israeli bombardment, and their parents sent them to school unsure whether they would return home.. But none of this has stopped a people determined to protect its children’s future and preserve what Gaza has always been known for: one of the lowest illiteracy rates in the world.
I just saw the body of a little girl, her skin grayed and covered in ash, being wrapped in a sheet. Her torn leg was laid next to her.
The decline in reporting isn’t because the daily horrors in Gaza are over, Israel is killing Palestinians every day.
We don't dream of luxury, travel, or a life of extravagance.
Our dream has become painfully simple: clean water, enough food for our children, and a peaceful night where we can all sleep and wake up together.
I don't like the way the media portrays us Palestinians as victims. Yes, we endure immense suffering, but we are more than what has been done to us. Calling us victims strips us of our agency and our right to self-determination. We are not passive recipients of violence; we are a people with a voice, a history, political aspirations, and the determination to shape our own future.
After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government.
Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya ran one of Gaza's last hospitals. He refused to leave his patients even after Israel killed his own son in a drone strike.
Israel kidnapped him for it. 18 months in detention, tortured and beaten, for the crime of running a hospital.
He must be released.
A new disaster is unfolding in Gaza.
More than 9,300 cases of Varicella Zoster Virus have been reported in Gaza within just two weeks.
The situation is extremely dangerous, with most cases affecting children. The virus is spreading rapidly inside tents due to overcrowding, lack of clean water, and poor hygiene conditions.
Children are suffering from severe skin rashes and painful itching, causing their skin to become red and inflamed from intense scratching, while most of them have no access to treatment or proper medical care.
“Bu babamla ilgili son çağrım: Onu kurtarın!”
📣 Gazzeli kahraman Doktor Hussam Abu Safiya’nın oğlundan babası için SON çağrı!
▪️Babam artık nefes almakta zorlanıyor.
Konuşamıyor
.
▪️Yüzü, gördüğü işkence yüzünden tanınmaz halde.
▪️Ne acı ki, büyük bir yalnızlığa terk edildik.
İki milyardan fazla Müslümana, yirmi ikiden fazla Arap ve İslam ülkesine seslendik. Ama siz duymazdan geldiniz.
▪️Size bir kez daha yalvarıyor, çağrıda bulunuyor, yardım istiyoruz. Çok geç olmadan babamın hayatını kurtarın.
▪️Belki de bu, son yardım çığlığımız olacak. Belki bir daha babamdan haber alamayacağız.
🇸🇪🇵🇸 Swedish billionaire Roger Akelius announced the largest single donation in UNICEF Sweden's history, donating $76 million for Palestine.
This will fund and rebuild 400 schools, helping over 100,000 Palestinian children deprived of education due to the Israeli genocide.
Very heartbreaking news…
A short while ago, the water station we partnered with for our water project was directly struck, resulting in the deaths of several people and injuries to others working there.
As a result, we have been forced to suspend our water distribution project until further notice.
This station was one of the most important remaining sources of clean water in Gaza City and served as a lifeline for thousands of families, especially after most other water stations had stopped operating.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of life and by the suspension of a project that was providing clean drinking water to people enduring these extremely difficult conditions.
Gabor Maté has helped millions make sense of pain.
We met through one of the deepest wounds of our time, the one opened by the genocide in Palestine.
Each in our own way, we search for a path through and beyond it.
Honoured to be in conversation with him about my book, domani.
The Greatest Man to walk the continent of Africa Patrice Lumumba was born on this day 101 years ago. The first president of Congo he was murdered and dismembered by British and Belgian colonialism then dissolved in acid.
Today, I took my children, Imad and Adam, along with my sister’s children—Elaine, Maher, and Ahmed—to the sea in Gaza. 🌊❤️
For a few hours, we forgot the heat inside the tent. We forgot the sounds of war and let the children laugh the way every child deserves to laugh.
I swam with them, looked at their smiling faces, and prayed that one day they would have a normal childhood—without fear, displacement, or war.
We may not be able to change our reality today, but we are trying to create beautiful memories for our children in the midst of all this pain.
These small moments are what give us the strength to keep going. 💙🍉
