Gaza Humanitarian Foundations (GHF) sites became death traps for Palestinians seeking aid as they navigated impossible routes set by Israeli forces. This is the story of one man who left home in the early hours to get bread but never returned home. 'Soaked in Blood: The killing

It's shameful to see this pathetic U-turn on something so simple and necessary. Who does the Swift Bricks proposal inconvenience - even mildly? Whoever it is, it's plain they're the ones with the government's ear.
Didn’t sleep night. People say keep cool but I’ve never been cool & this campaign - for a fundemental lifeline that is painfree - is such an eye opener in the worst way. All the political cliches are true plus more shit people don’t think about on top.

Zaher & his mother were hit by a drone while selling lentils. He lost both his legs. His mother begged God to take her life instead. As of 2024, over 10,000 Sudanese children had their limbs amputated. We don’t even know the number now.
After two years of civil war, the children of Sudan have paid the highest price. Their childhoods have been shattered, broken and forgotten 12-year-old Zaher told the BBC that his love for football has not changed despite the gruesomeness of the war. https://t.co/9pk42lAlI9

I have begged and pleaded with folks on here to care about the genocides in Tigray. Even among my moots on here, less than a handful have even reshared a single tweet about it. It’s low key genocide denial.
The Commission of Inquiry on Tigray Genocide(CITG) just released a very devastating report...

It has become so difficult to find the right words to describe what's going on in Elfasher, harder still to find oned that will convince the world they should care But the unvarnished facts remain: The RSF is starving Elfasher. This is preventable. The world is complicit. #Sudan
Thousands trapped in El Fasher siege on ‘edge of survival’, the city is "uninhabitable."

The Abu Shouk Camp Emergency Room mourned volunteer Abdallah Zakaria Mohamed, who was martyred Thursday from injuries sustained while carrying out his humanitarian duty in ElFashir. They described him as a symbol of courage and devotion, serving his people selflessly.

We all watched the people of Gaza lift Journalist Saleh onto their shoulders, rejoicing at the ceasefire news. The next day he was slaughtered by an Israeli-backed gang. Meta quickly erased his social media. Rest in power brother, we will keep you in our hearts forever.
