Trash is piling up on the streets of Havana as garbage collection slows sharply because most city trucks are out of fuel after U.S. efforts to block oil shipments to Cuba, Reuters reports. Only about 44 of 106 trucks are operating, leaving heaps of waste, swarms of flies and rising health concerns. Cuba’s oil supply has collapsed following cutoffs from Venezuela and Mexico under U.S. pressure, worsening chronic shortages of food, fuel, and medicine.
رفقاء في الدنيا والآخرة
Hossam was killed alongside his best friend, Mohammed Nidal. Mohammed and Hossam had been childhood best friends, though they were separated during this genocide. For the past 400 days, Mohammed was forced to flee to the south. He had only recently returned to the north, just one month ago — and they spent that entire month together.
They shared the same tent, traveled side by side, and in the end, Mohammed was right next to Hossam when he was targeted.
Mohammed and Hossam were together in life, and they remained together in death. May they both rest in peace.
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.
