Don’t stop your support
The war has ended, but I’m still living in its ashes.
Without work, without food, I fight to survive with my tears.
Please… don’t let me fade away after surviving it all
Will you bail us out for $250 for food and blankets?

can we show some broader support for all these lovely young people? living conditions in sudan are already horrific right now, and the persecution these folks face on /top/ of the worst displacement crisis in modern history isn't something those of us in the global north can look away from

No one should starve for simply being who they are 🌈

Hunger and sickness should never be the price of being LGBTQ+💔

Your kindness can be the difference between despair and hope ✨

Rejected by many, but not forgotten by us🕊️

Feed a soul, heal a heart, save a life💖

We once had a beautiful, warm home a refuge from danger, cold, and rain. I’d return from work tired, and Lina would open the door; her hug and the scent of our home erased all fatigue. Now it’s all gone, Lina. They left us nothing to hold onto. Can I ever get my home back?

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. Mahmoud was a computer engineer doing web development before this. He’s lost his job and home (and many coworkers) and is in a tent with his family including his children Zeina, 6 and Zane, 2. His wife Malak is 7 months pregnant.

Notes from Poland @notesfrompoland.bsky.social · 4d

Polish members of the Gaza aid flotilla have returned home after being deported by Israel.

One of them, a member of parliament, has accused Israel of "torturing" them during captivity. He criticised the Polish government for "turning a blind eye" to "genocide" in Gaza.
