Alaa and her daughters have lived to see a ceasefire, but they are still in dire need of assistance. They have only managed to navigate displacement, genocidal violence, and her daughter's deteriorating health with the help of donations. Let's help them continue to endure.

Your help are an investment in rebuild a woman and an architect

This is so evil.

⭕️ BREAKING: CNN reports that Israel will not release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya as part of the ceasefire deal.

“The occupation refused to release Dr Hussam Abu Safiya,” a Hamas official told CNN on Friday.

💔💔💔💔
So you call it a “peace plan”?

Help Sakher rebuild his home, if you can. Follow his new account and interact.

It's Sakher 🍉 @sakher23.bsky.social · 1d

My name is Sakher, and this is my new account — after my old one was suddenly taken down.
For the past 4 days, I’ve been silent… not because I wanted to, but because I lost my only voice — the place where I used to speak to the world.
More talk in the comments….

Imagine returning home to this after everything they have already been through.

Imagine doing this to other human beings essentially for sport.

Overnight, Israeli troops carried out a large-scale campaign of setting fire to huge amount of civilian homes and infrastructure before families returned to it in northern Gaza.

It appears to have been the most extensive mass arson operation since the genocide began

Hudu Abu Naja, 12- before and after starvation. Like thousands of children in Gaza, she suffered from severe malnutrition. In the last two months, organizations and doctors tried to evacuate her without success. This morning, Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra reported she has died reports

Erst verbreitet Tagesspiegel verkürzt irreführende Zitate zur IfP-Beteiligung an der Anti-Genozid-Demo, jetzt legt die taz mit falschen Tatsachenbehauptungen nach. Fast könnte man meinen, israelische Stimmen gelten in deutscher Publizistik nur dann als relevant, wenn sie ins eigene Vorurteil passen

Yossi Bartal @yossibartal.bsky.social · 1d

In ihrem heutigen Beitrag in der taz stellen Klaus Lederer und Alexander Karschnia die falsche Behauptung auf, der Gruppe „Israelis für Frieden“ habe man eine Rede auf der Gaza-Demo am 27. September nicht erlaubt. Diese Aussage entspricht nicht den Tatsachen, was sich problemlos überprüfen lässt.

"Thousands are still buried beneath the rubble. We don’t even know all their names. These aren’t just numbers. These are entire families erased, students who will never return to school, newborns who never made it past their first cry." www.thenation.com/article/worl...

We Are Genocide Survivors. But Our War Is Far From Over.

We in Gaza will remember the martyrs—those who died teaching, reporting, healing, mothering, surviving. We will carry their memory like fire in our hearts. And we will begin again.

Both of the accounts I saw with a different fundraising account have been deleted but I think this is the only fundraising account for Nour Faraj- who is a little girl in Gaza who lost both her legs (this account has been shared by journalists and confirmed by a friend of hers).

Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.

Among other things, according to the decision:

- 250 security prisoners will be released.
- 1,700 residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre will be released.
- 22 minors under the age of 18, residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre, will be released.
- 360 bodies of terrorists will be returned.

Von was denn ablenken? So ein Propagandastückchen gegen Palästinasolidarität und Anti-Genozid-Demos erscheint doch ca. 1x pro Monat. Das hier ist nicht mal besonders originell. Habe die nächsten 2 Wochen schon was vor, sonst würde ich das natürlich super gerne hier mit dir ausdiskutieren…

Just as much as Link was a part of this community- so has Sakher been. Bluesky mods are awful.

It's Reem 🇵🇸🍉 @reeeeeeem.bsky.social · 3d

Sakher’s account was shut down — the only place where he spoke to the world about his pain and his suffering.

That account was his only voice, his way to survive and keep going.

Today, Sakher lost his last connection to the world.💔
