Five years ago, my son Isaac died in the #Beirutblast

For the past 5yrs, for 1,826 nights, I have been learning how to cope with the grief, while also learning how to live again.

I miss Isaac desperately &wrote some words about what it is like 5 years on

Up_Handicup NGO is providing wheelchairs for those who were evacuated without their own tools.

Now, they say they will fight “no matter the consequences”

Meanwhile, Israel’s most right-wing govt ever sees an opportunity
