The Other Face of Gaza… How the Occupation Changed Lives and Faces
“My children and people are afraid of how I look… I face painful and difficult situations every day.”
With these words, Najwa Abu Atiwi, a mother of five, describes the tragedy she has been living through since she suffered severe injuries in an Israeli airstrike that completely changed her face.
Najwa sustained devastating injuries, including extensive fractures to her facial bones, upper jaw, nose, and cheek. She also lost her right eye entirely. Despite undergoing several surgeries, she continues to suffer from severe facial disfigurement and extreme difficulty opening her mouth, eating, and speaking, turning even the simplest daily tasks into a painful struggle.
The suffering is not only physical. The psychological pain runs even deeper. Najwa lost one of her daughters, and with that loss came another devastating reality—she also lost her facial features. Today, even her own children are frightened by her appearance.
Doctors warn that her condition could worsen due to the severe lack of medical resources and the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system. They stress that she urgently needs to travel abroad for treatment, including reconstructive surgery for her facial bones and skull, a prosthetic eye, and complex surgeries to rebuild her nose and eyelids.
Najwa does not only need medical treatment—she needs a second chance at life.
A chance to reclaim her face, her smile, and her ability to embrace her children without fear.
Save Najwa before it is too late.
Encore une enfant tuée par Israël à Gaza aujourd’hui.
Elle s’appelait Julia et n’avait que 8 ans.
Et pendant sa courte vie, elle aura échappé à la mort pendant 32 mois de génocide. Ça n’aura pas suffi.
Ce terroriste a été REMIS EN LIBERTÉ.
La garde à vue est passée, il fait désormais l’objet d’une convocation, ce qui signifie qu’il est toujours dehors malgré les témoignages + les vidéos… quelle folie ! C’est inadmissible !
Le pape vient de lancer la BIBLE à Trump, qualifiant la guerre en Iran d’INJUSTE. Il demande aux Américains de convoquer le Congrès et d’exiger la destitution de Trump.

⚡️An Israeli female soldier humiliated a Palestinian woman by covering her eyes, throwing her to the ground, and stepping on her in a degrading manner.
This is one of many daily Israeli attacks, abuses, and acts of cruelty against Palestinians.
Meanwhile, the international community remains silent, and human rights and women’s organizations have not responded to these crimes.
