We have restored the tent a little, and there are still a few repairs to be done, and to provide food supplies in light of the slight increase in prices. Don't forget me, my brothers.🖤🩷

Motaz is always having to make new accounts despite the fact he’s been here for a long time.
He’s also trying his best to look after his young daughter and wife through displacement and forced starvation.

I feel like I am losing my mind from the constant sound of explosions and rockets…

The bombing never stops every minute, Israeli warplanes launch a new series of strikes.

The situation here in Gaza is catastrophic and extremely dangerous.

Let me tell you, the liberation of Palestine has EVERYTHING to do with all of us.

Breaking | The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, including Thousand Madleens to Gaza and Conscience, is being intercepted.

Around 8 Israeli naval vessels are surrounding the ships, with occupation forces destroying CCTV cameras and abducting activists.

Another war crime. Piracy. Kidnap.

Last night, I woke up to the sound of explosions that took place in Gaza City, while I was in the central area, about 12 km away.

Its ruaa @itsmeio.bsky.social · 20h

They have already dropped 200,000 tons of explosives on the people of Gaza.
Do you realize what that means?
It is the equivalent of 13 nuclear bombs like the one that destroyed Hiroshima.

And yet, the world remains silent while an entire population is being wiped out.
