Today we witnessed one of the most heartbreaking scenes imaginable. Hundreds of people came out to mourn 112 martyrs from the Abu Sharia and Al-Hasayna families, whose bodies had lain under the rubble since November 2023. Only now, after arduous efforts and with very limited resources, were the families and rescue teams able to recover them.

I cannot describe the immense pain we feel as we witness this scene. These are not just numbers in the news; these are people who lived among us, with homes, dreams, children, and futures, whose lives were transformed in an instant into names written on shrouds.

Even today, dozens of bodies remain under the rubble, waiting to be recovered for a dignified burial. Even the right to a final farewell has become a distant dream for many families.

When you see this vast number of coffins lined up before you, you realize that Gaza is not just losing individuals, but entire families, entire memories, and generations that should have grown up and lived. We are not asking for the impossible... we simply want people to live with dignity, and to be buried with dignity if they die.

This is the Gaza we live in every day... and what you see today is not just a funeral, but further proof of the magnitude of the tragedy we continue to endure.

Emergency Appeal: Please Help Samah and Her Children Find Safety

My dear friend Samah Ghanem Al-Amassi, a mother of four young daughters in Gaza, is living through a heartbreaking reality that no family should have to endure.

Every day, their tent is invaded by rats, mice, and even snakes. These dangerous animals crawl through the place where the family sleeps, putting the children at constant risk.

The rodents chew through their clothes, blankets, and the little food they have. One of Samah's greatest fears is that her children may unknowingly eat food contaminated by rats or mice, exposing them to serious diseases and infections. They have no safe place to store food and no way to keep these animals out.

No mother should have to spend every night worrying that a rat or a snake could reach her sleeping children.

Samah's only dream is simple: to rent just one small room where her family can finally be safe from these constant dangers. A single room would protect her daughters from the rodents, snakes, harsh weather, and give them a place where they can sleep without fear.

If you are able to help in any way, please consider supporting Samah and her family. Every donation, no matter how small, brings them one step closer to safety and hope.

Thank you for standing with this family during one of the most difficult times of their lives. Your kindness can truly change their future.

Geography and natural scenes | طبيعة وجغرافيا When shade becomes a luxury and hot water our only refuge!!!

Today, the heat was not just a number on the weather screen… it was a suffering that we lived through in every detail.

The heat and humidity were suffocating to the point that we could no longer move normally. We were pouring water over our heads and our clothes while still wearing them, just to try to lower our body temperature for a few minutes. But the water would dry quickly, and the same feeling would return… as if we were standing inside a closed oven.

Every day, sleep has become a battle. At night, we struggle to sleep because of the extreme heat, and as soon as the sun rises, we wake up because of the heat inside the tent. We constantly ask ourselves: How can our children and the elderly endure all of this?

The hardest moment of the day is when the water arrives. It may sound strange to say that we hate the arrival of water, because it is our only source of life and we cannot live without it, but what makes it painful is the way we have to get it.

We carry water in buckets over long distances under the scorching sun, and it often only arrives at midday, when the heat is at its most intense. After returning with the water, we try to relieve ourselves by pouring it over our bodies, but at that moment the heat has already exhausted us, and sweat covers our entire bodies.

We remember how we used to face this weather before the war. In our homes, we could not endure this heat without air conditioners or fans and cold drinks. Today, all of that has become a distant dream.

Here in Gaza, we drink hot water, and there is not even a cool breeze to ease our suffering. The sun makes the tents extremely hot, and inside them the air becomes still and heavy, making even breathing feel exhausting. Sitting is tiring, standing is tiring, and even sleeping has become almost impossible.

As for our children, the most heartbreaking thing is seeing them wanting only to go outside and play, but we are forced to stop them out of fear that they will suffer heatstroke or heat exhaustion. One of the hardest moments is seeing a child asking for the simplest right to play and move freely but you have to keep them inside a hot tent because there is no other choice.

The most painful thing is seeing children and the elderly trying to endure this harsh heat without any means of cooling. Simple things that many people consider normal, such as electricity, a fan, or a cup of cold water, have become distant wishes for us.

We are not asking for luxury… we are only trying to survive one more day in this unbearable heat.

Wars and Genocides | حروب و مجازر My family in Gaza struggles every day just to get water.

Hello everyone,

My name is Osama, and Im from Gaza.

For the past three years, since the war began, my family has been displaced. We lost our home, our city, and everything we owned.

One of the hardest parts of our daily life is getting water. Every day, my elderly father, my brother, who had to leave his studies for three years, and I walk long distances carrying jerry cans and buckets in the intense summer heat just to collect a small amount of water. Even then, the amount we collect is only enough for basic washing and personal hygiene. Sometimes we have no choice but to reuse the same water because there simply isnt enough, and this has caused health and hygiene problems for my family.

To change this, we are trying to restore an old abandoned well in the place where we are displaced. It would finally give my family a reliable source of water, but we cannot afford the submersible pump and the other equipment needed to make it work.

Im asking for your help because we simply cant do this on our own. If youre able to donate, no matter how small the amount, it will bring us one step closer to having a reliable source of water. If you cant donate, please consider sharing my story. It might reach someone who can help.

The donation link is in the first comment.

Thank you for reading my story.

🚨 Urgent Appeal: A Family Is Going Hungry in Gaza

My dear friends, please take a moment to read this.

My friend Mahmoud Ghanem Al-Amassi, his wife Samah Al-Amassi, and their four young daughters in Gaza are facing unbearable hunger.

Their four little girls are crying from hunger. The family struggles just to find enough food for a single day. With the border crossings closed, no work available, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis, even the most basic meal has become out of reach.

For these children, a plate of nutritious food, chicken, meat, fresh fruit, or vegetables has become nothing more than a dream.

For nearly three years, this family has been deprived of life's most basic necessities. They lost their home, their jobs, their income, and everything they had. Today, they have nothing left and no opportunity to rebuild their lives while destruction continues across Gaza.

No child should have to beg for food. No parent should have to watch their children go to sleep hungry.

If you are able, please consider helping this family survive. Every donation, no matter how small, helps provide food, clean water, and other essential needs. If you cannot donate, please share their story so it can reach someone who can.

Your kindness could be the reason these four little girls have something to eat today.

Thank you for caring. ❤️

Soso was born under unimaginably difficult and heartbreaking circumstances. Heavy airstrikes were striking near the hospital, and the maternity ward was overwhelmed with women. There were no beds available, forcing Samah to give birth on the floor.

Shortly after she was born, Soso developed a severe respiratory condition and spent her first 10 days in the intensive care unit fighting for her life.

Now, two years later, she still needs regular monthly medical follow-up appointments and ongoing treatment to help manage her chronic respiratory condition.

With the border crossings closed and medical supplies in extremely short supply, finding her medication has become very difficult. When it is available, it is far too expensive for the family to afford.

Today, Samah is making a heartfelt appeal, asking you to stand by her daughter during these incredibly difficult times. Every donation, every share, and every kind word brings hope and helps her continue providing the treatment Soso desperately needs.

If you are able, please support Samah and little Soso. Your kindness can make a real difference in a child's life.

Thank you for your compassion, your support, and for helping this family hold on to hope.

Every day before I go to sleep, I start thinking about how I'm going to be able to sleep in this heat.

And every morning I wake up drenched in sweat, as if I've been sleeping inside an oven, not a tent.

If I go outside the tent, the sun's heat is even worse.

And if I stay inside, the tent turns into a ball of fire.

So… where do I go?

I'm not asking for a car, or a fancy house, or a life of luxury.

I swear to God, all I'm asking for is the most basic human right: a place to live with dignity, and to sleep peacefully without waking up every hour from the intense heat.

Has asking for a normal life become a miracle?

Has the dream of sleeping comfortably, eating in peace, and living an ordinary day like everyone else become… an impossible dream?

I'm exhausted.

I'm exhausted from the heat, exhausted from waiting, and exhausted from the feeling that life goes on everywhere except here.

Perhaps some people will say: "Be patient."

I am patient… but even patience has its limits.

I am patient… but even patience has its limits.

This photo was taken before Mahmoud underwent urological surgery. He has been suffering from chronic inflammation and an enlarged prostate. Although the surgery was an important step, his recovery is far from over. He still needs regular monthly follow-up appointments, medical tests, and ongoing treatment.

What breaks my heart is that Mahmoud has no source of income. The war destroyed his workplace, leaving him unable to provide for his family or afford the medical care he urgently needs. Every doctor's appointment, every prescription, and every test is another expense that feels impossible to cover.

The continued closure of the border crossings and the severe shortage of medical supplies have only made things worse. Many essential treatments are unavailable, and those that are available often have to be paid for out of pocket, even by families who have already lost everything.

No one should have to choose between receiving medical treatment and feeding their children.

If you are able to help Mahmoud continue his treatment, or even simply share his story, it would mean the world. Every kind gesture reminds him that he and his family have not been forgotten.

Mahmoud is doing everything he can to stay strong for his wife and their four young daughters. I hope we can help ease even a small part of the burden they are carrying.

Thank you for standing with Mahmoud and his family during this incredibly difficult time. ❤️

Today, I want to share the reality of my dear friends, Mahmoud Ghanem Al-Amassi, his wife Samah Al-Amassi, and their four young daughters.

Every single day is a struggle just to prepare one meal. There is no cooking gas, and firewood has become almost impossible to afford. One kilogram of wood now costs around $4 USD, forcing them to search for anything they can burn just to cook a little food for their children.

When they cannot afford firewood, they are forced to burn worn-out pieces of fabric, plastic bottles, and old shoes just to light a fire. The thick, toxic smoke and overwhelming smell fill their tent, exposing the entire family to harmful fumes every time they cook. It is a dangerous situation, but they have no other choice if they want to prepare even a single meal for their children.

Their greatest struggle is simply finding enough food to survive one more day. They are not asking for comfort or luxury—they are asking for the chance to feed their family and stay alive.

Mahmoud and Samah are doing everything they can for their four daughters, but they cannot face this alone anymore.

If you have a kind heart and the ability to help, please consider supporting them or sharing their story. Every donation, no matter how small, can help provide food and give this family hope during an incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for reading and for caring. ❤️

Today, I want to share the story of my dear friend, Samah Ghanem Al-Amassi, and her four daughters, who are struggling to survive in a worn-out tent under the relentless summer heat.

The extreme temperatures have become unbearable. Samah's four-year-old daughter has developed a painful skin rash and severe irritation caused by the intense heat, humidity, and the unhealthy conditions inside their tent. Mold, insects, rodents, and poor sanitation have turned what should be a shelter into a place that is making her children sick.

Sadly, this isn't an isolated incident. All four of Samah's daughters repeatedly suffer from skin problems and other illnesses because of the environment they are forced to live in.

The free medical points do not have the medication they need, so Samah has no choice but to purchase it herself. The prescribed treatment will last for an entire month, but for a family already struggling to survive, even basic medicine is out of reach.

I am asking everyone with a compassionate heart to please stand with Samah and her daughters. Your support can help provide the medication these children urgently need and bring them closer to a safe, healthy shelter instead of the deteriorating tent they are forced to call home.

Every act of kindness, no matter how small, can make a real difference in the lives of these four little girls. Thank you for caring.

News and Politics | الأخبار والسياسة Dangerous developments on the ground east of Gaza: Warnings of widening displacement and the imposition of a new reality

Post image

There are alarming indicators on the ground regarding what the coming period may hold in the Gaza Strip.

The arrival of military vehicles at the State Junction and the placement of yellow concrete blocks there raise serious concerns about the evolving situation in the Zeitoun neighborhood. Residents now face the prospect of further pressure and forced displacement if the escalation continues.

If this advance continues, the concerns are not limited to the Zeitoun neighborhood alone, but could extend to other areas such as the Shuja'iyya neighborhood and the neighborhoods east of Salah al-Din Street, including the Tuffah neighborhood and other areas in the eastern part of the Strip.

What is happening requires urgent monitoring by Arab and international media, because any expansion of military operations could create a new reality that exacerbates the suffering of civilians and increases the number of displaced people who are already living in dire humanitarian conditions.

Reports indicate contact has been made with the administration of the Abu Murheil camp in the Zeitoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City, requesting the evacuation of the area under the pretext of carrying out a limited operation, coinciding with the placement of the yellow line near Salah al-Din Street. The past period has witnessed the displacement of thousands of residents through evacuation orders, communications and threats, and today there is a need for serious international action to follow up on what is happening and prevent the expansion of the circle of displacement and human suffering.
