some end of year reflections on the substack today [about borders, visiting home, favourite essays, & national identity] in 2024, I submitted & published less than ever - but my accomplishments were many even if they looked different than in the past 🤍 https://t.co/kkClgJHxhr

Please take a minute to read about the incredible work done in the North today! This is what your donations make possible ⬇️⬇️
In a time when most children in Gaza are being robbed of their right to education, with only a few fortunate enough to attend school or educational tents, we wanted to bring a little light into their lives and draw a smile on their faces. Today, we visited Bader School in Gaza

Heartbreaking as always. This time my uncle Said Abu Toha, 83 years old and husband of my aunt, was found killed in the street in Gaza. Said went missing on Nov 5. I’m heartbroken. This list is growing. Shame on the world.
