Women’s Day feels hollow when somewhere in the world a girl is helplessly crying for safety, dignity and the simple right to live while enduring war, genocide, displacement and unspeakable violence.

He had just learned that the Israeli occupation had killed all his children Baraa, 8 years old; Iman, 5; and his 2-year-old daughter. “My loved ones are dead… my children are dead,” he cried, collapsing under the weight of loss.

This grieving man, Hitham Salem — Israel killed all his children and his wife weeks before his release.
He made a gift for his daughter, whose birthday is in a few days. Look at the anguish consuming him.
Every video I see of Saleh I can tell he was a kind soul. Whether it was a baby or an animal, he was gentle with them. He survived 2 years of genocide with a smile on his face the entire time.
