There is no safe zone in Gaza

Israel’s military dropped 75,000 tonnes of explosives by April 2024. Since the invasion of Rafah in May, Palestinians have said the bombings have gotten considerably worse, most recently the strike against Al Tabin school where over 100 were killed during morning prayers

Israeli strike on Gaza school kills more than 100 people

Authorities in Gaza said Israeli bombs hit the school-turned-shelter as people were praying and triggered a fire.

34,000 deaths is clearly an appalling undercount when watchdog groups learn about mass graves like this every week.

It feels like masses of people are ghosts living in theory and abstract and don't know what death is, what murder is, what a baby is, what human flesh is

What a tragedy we are seeing unfold infront of our eyes.

Digging for his baby for 25 days to give her a dignified burial.

He will never forget. We will never forget. And we will never let the world ever forget what Israel has made Palestinians do these last 75 years and 107 days.

There is no such thing as childhood in Gaza

Israeli attacks expose Palestinian children to daily horrors.

Children in Gaza can tell an F-16 from an F-35 from a drone. They know a whole litany of things that are beyond their years. Things that they shouldn’t have to know. Over 10,000 children have been killed in Gaza. The children who have survived have seen their families, friends and neighbors killed by the Israeli army. They have seen near-death by starvation and death by suffocation, under the rubble and by explosion. Children in Gaza do not have the luxury of death being a mystery. It is a daily presence. If a child in Gaza is hungry, they know not to throw a tantrum. They have become used to feeling hunger. The same is true of the cold. Every child in Gaza now knows what it is to be unhoused, to sleep in a tent or on the streets in winter.

Brief image description: a small Palestinian child is sleeping atop a hospital bed -where they have what appears to be a breathing tube up their nose -the long tube is connected to a machine that provides oxygen beside them. The caption in front of this image states: The Palestinian Prisoners' Club: "Israeli occupation forces has arrested a Palestinian girl from Gaza residing in the occupied West Bank for cancer treatment."

A little girl undergoing CANCER treatment was arrested... no matter how many times I re-read this statement, it gets even more vile. This is beyond heinous.
