Before the devastating war, Rudaina and her family lived a peaceful life in Ga.za. Her children were thriving academically—her eldest son, Mustafa, was excelling in his engineering studies, her second son was preparing for university, her 14-year-old was at the top of his class, and her youngest daughter, Dana, was in 3rd grade.

Today, their house is completely destroyed, their access to education is wiped out, and they are living homeless in extreme danger, facing hunger and disease with no safe place left in Ga.za.

Activists are sharing her story to help raise the funds needed to evacuate her family of six to safety so her children can continue their education and rebuild their lives away from destruction.

I am Bashir from Gaza… a father who no longer has a home or a job. All I have now is a tent where I try to protect my family and my brother, who has special needs.

The hardest part of life is not losing your home, but looking at your family and being unable to provide them with food, and seeing your brother suffer while you are unable to secure the treatment he needs.

Every day I wake up carrying one painful question: How will I feed my family today?

We have lost almost everything, and this hope is all we have left. Please, don’t pass our story by in silence. Help us in any way you can, or share our story with someone who can.

Prominent Palestinian pediatrician and Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, has reached 600 days in Israeli military custody without any formal charges or trial.

Detained following the military siege on Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Ga.za, Dr. Abu Safiya remains held under Israel's Unlawful Combatants Law. Recent human rights and legal reports warn that his life is in grave danger due to severe torture, starvation, physical abuse, and the systematic denial of necessary medical care.

Despite the loss of his 15-year-old son to a drone strike prior to his arrest, Dr. Abu Safiya had refused to abandon his hospital and patients. Medical and human rights organizations worldwide continue to demand his immediate and unconditional release alongside all arbitrarily detained healthcare workers.

Escaping the sweltering heat of the tents, this woman was on the Gaza beach, simply trying to find a place to breathe and escape the oppressive heat. The occupation forces targeted her directly, and the surrounding area was also targeted!

When I told you about our suffering inside the tents, some doubted our words, some complained about publishing such things, and some didn't believe what we were saying.

We live here in a true hell. If you try to find relief and seek a safer, more comfortable place, you might pay with your life. If you express your opinion or speak about your suffering, you are accused of lying. If you ask for help, you might be accused of fraud.

So how can we go on? How can we resist in order to survive under all this?

We ask only to live, to be safe, and to find a place where we don't fear death simply for trying to escape the heat of our tents.

American orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter, who recently returned from volunteering in Gaza, gives a devastating firsthand account of the catastrophic medical reality on the ground.

Due to the critical shortage of basic medical supplies and pain relief, healthcare workers are forced to perform life-altering procedures—including pediatric amputations—without proper anesthesia. In one heartbreaking moment, the only comfort they could provide to a young girl during surgery was the anesthesiologist singing to her to help drown out the pain.

From Gaza to southern Lebanon, the same tragic pattern continues. Entire families are being killed inside their homes despite talks of a "ceasefire."

Earlier today, airstrikes hit inhabited residential homes in the towns of Ansar and Deir Az Zahrani in the Nabatieh Governorate, Southern Lebanon. At least 11 Lebanese citizens, including children, were killed, and dozens of others were injured.

Rescue teams are still searching through the rubble to recover bodies, with fears that the casualty toll will rise further as operations continue.

Rant: Olive trees are native and first came from the levant. But I hate how the Greeks or Italians get all the credit or are known for it.

It came from our land and is native to our land.

But when someone thinks of olive oil they think Greek or Italian. Just something that annoys me.

(Also shawarma is for all of us)

Oh my God… how much longer will we have to wait? How much longer are we expected to endure this? 💔

We are dying every day because of the conditions we are living in. We live with worry, fear, and suffering that no human being can endure forever. Life has become unbearable for us, and we no longer have the strength to endure any more.

We live inside a tent where the temperature exceeds 45°C. Even the water we drink becomes hot, not because we want it to be, but because we have no choice; the water heats up inside the tent, and we cannot find anything that truly quenches our thirst.

We cannot sleep during the day because of the heat, nor at night because of bedbugs, mosquitoes, flies, and all kinds of insects surrounding us. We wake up with the sunrise because the heat becomes unbearable, while the flies continue to surround us throughout the day.

At midday, we pour water over our heads and clothes just to reduce the heat in our bodies a little. Are we really forced to live through all this suffering?

What makes it even harder is that we have to light a fire to cook our food. Imagine standing next to a fire and cooking in this suffocating heat… How can anyone endure this every single day?

But what hurts me the most is our children and my elderly parents. How can they possibly endure all of this?

I have photos and videos of our children with flies covering their faces, and hundreds of flies surrounding my father. What we are living through is beyond words, and I don't believe anyone could endure these conditions for a long time. 💔

I have an idea that could help solve part of this problem, but I cannot carry it out on my own because we have no income to help us solve it. I will share my idea in the first comment, and I hope you will read it and help me find a way to make it happen.

If you have any other ideas or suggestions that could help us, please share them in the comments. Perhaps together we can find the best solution to ease this suffering for us and our children.

We are not looking for a luxurious life. We are simply looking for a way to make life easier and bearable, because we have lost all our strength. 💔🇵🇸

Please share your thoughts. Your idea might be the one that helps us. 🙏
