This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
Can you imagine that there are days when we cannot sleep? Sometimes the reason is not bombing and destruction. Sometimes the reason is hunger. There are days when we eat only a small piece of food so that the food we have will last as long as possible...
People are afraid of accidentally stepping on any grave in the cemetery. But in life, they trample each other without mercy. There are people whose hypocrisy you cannot describe...
My friends and loved ones. I am grateful to everyone who asked about me and checked on me... Two days ago, there were several violent raids not far from me... They committed indescribable massacres two days ago...
Can you imagine that we live a life that you cannot bear to see on your phone screens?..
I wonder do we not deserve life? Will our lives continue like this forever?
But I am sure that one day I will exaggerate my joy in retaliation for the days that let me down...
My friends and loved ones.. I want to inform you that I am concerned that the food supply for cats will run out at the end of December. Unfortunately, there is no food for the animals...
I bought enough to last them 4 months...and I mix the food with bread to make it last as long as possible..
But the food will run out soon.. then I will be in trouble..
The only solution is to buy canned meat, as shown in the picture below. These cans are sold on the black market at very ridiculous prices..
Frankly, I'm confused . Should I buy these cans now or should I wait, hoping for a ceasefire? There is a risk... If a ceasefire occurs, prices will become reasonable. But if there is no ceasefire, its price will rise more and more..
Please, I need your advice..
I'm afraid I'll make a decision I'll regret. I want to consult you about this dilemma, my friends..
thank you so much 💓
Don't acknowledge the fire inside you. Smile and say it's a barbecue.
Marcus Aurelius says... When you are burning from within, remember that calmness is the key to strength, so do not hesitate to face your fires... Rather, use those fires to light your way towards the light...
Oscar Wald says: Life is nothing but a play, and when you suffer, choose to be the star in your own show, even if you are burning from the inside.
Friedrich Nietzsche says: He says that pain is a part of existence, and if you are burning, make your flame a torch that lights up the darkness around you.
My friends and loved ones.. This is not a new update.. I'm not sure I can always update. The army dropped leaflets to evacuate the D5 area. We are several hundred meters away from me. My house is located on E3, and everyone knows that they want to empty northern Gaza and expel us from the north.
Tonight was like hell on Gaza. They dropped thousands of incendiary bombs on Gaza. Hundreds of incendiary bombs fell on my house. You can't imagine the scene. We hear the voices of our neighbors, their homes burning, and they are screaming that no one can do anything. It was possible that a firebomb would fall on my house. Any ambulance or fire truck is targeted by drones. Here in the north we see death and nothing but death..
Unfortunately, they no longer allow aid to enter Gaza. Famine returned again to the north. The situation in the north is more difficult than ever...
I need your support, prayers and wishes with us..
I need your financial support, my friends, to face any circumstance. We may be forced to leave at any time...
https://t.co/4HGeWVpT8V
Your support helps me face any emergency situation. I wish to leave my home for Egypt.. I'm terrified I'll end up in the South..
All solutions on earth have ended. A solution remains to come from heaven. Please don't forget to talk about us, friends. Please share this tweet and comment with a point so that this tweet will be visible to everyone

.@GovParsonMO, please do not let Missouri execute
@innocence@the_MIP client #MarcellusWilliams, an innocent person — where there is overwhelming evidence that his trial was constitutionally unfair — on 9/24. https://t.co/NdeWLIMEf4
#MarcellusWilliams is only THREE days away from being executed for a crime he didn’t commit. We need you to use your platform to stop this cruel, irreversible mistake before it’s too late.
Though the governor's office is closed today, you can tweet and e-mail Gov. Parson now (https://t.co/sAwrXjul6a) and urge him to stop the execution. You can also use this social media toolkit to create your own post or video about Marcellus: https://t.co/MVst5funYF

U.S. Marines killed 24 civilians in Haditha, Iraq, and documented the aftermath. For years, the military has tried to keep the photos from the public. The New Yorker is now publishing newly obtained images. https://t.co/MsiUmGEflE
Gaza is experiencing a catastrophic spread of skin diseases due to harsh living conditions. Overcrowding in tents, high temperatures, water shortages, and the lack of essential nutritious food contribute to the worsening situation.
