             I tell myself every day: Don’t die. Don’t get tired. Check on the children. Look for water. Check if there are any holes in the tent so the water doesn’t leak in. Then stand up — don’t die. Don’t you dare die from some silly illness. Resist. Save your tears for a more painful

             Told @stephensackur @BBCHARDTALK there are deliberate attempts to dismantle @UNRWA that have nothing to do with neutrality. These attempts aim at striping the Palestinians of their refugee status & at undermining the aspirations of the Palestinians for self determination.

             People in #Gaza are asked repeatedly to move and bombarded repeatedly in areas that are supposed to be safe. Today's deadly airstrikes in Khan Younis demonstrate once again the urgent need for a ceasefire. No vaccine nor medicine can help if people are being killed and forced

             Thank you for sharing @danbru8! Darwish's poem feels like both an ominous warning of accelerating climate crises and a testimony of the indescribable atrocities and violence perpetrated against Palestinians. A reminder of how deeply interconnected these issues are.

             While we savor our summer, #Israel continues to displace, starve, torture, and murder Palestinians with unabated US support and EU nations turning a blind eye. This is a shameful and entirely man-made legal, political, and humanitarian catastrophe. #CeasefireNOW
