‘14 members of his family were killed in an airstrike on his home in Gaza City. When he & his parents & siblings moved to Rafah, they were bombed & buried beneath the rubble, & his mother was killed.’
“I’m now in Deir al-Balah, in al-Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital. And it’s super crowded here, because several bombings have happened in the last two hours. The hospital is super crowded, and many injured people are here.”
“We got our sister awake, but not aware. She was vomiting blood. We went to a near house, and we hid there. And unfortunately, my mother suffered from internal bleeding, and she didn’t make it.”
“We now live in a tent, which is super hard for me and my family. Because al-Mawasi and Rafah city has kind of a desert climate, because we are near to Sinai Desert, it is super hot. And living in a tent is exactly like living in an oven.”
“Before the war, you and your twin brother were students. Could you talk to us about what you were studying and what your hopes were for your own future before the war?”

‘Israel has killed at least 75 Palestinians in Gaza over the past 24 hours as Israeli forces attack the Bureij and al-Maghazi refugee camps in central Gaza’
The evidence doesn't support that #Israel could continue their attacks on #Gaza without US support, but even if they could... that is their decision, not ours.

“And, Janti, when you spoke at the United Nations in April, you said that more children have been killed in this conflict than have been killed in all armed conflicts globally over the past four years.”
“we estimate that over 80% of schools are either damaged or completely destroyed. What’s left of some of these schools are actually populated by people who are displaced. So there is no way schools can function at this point in Gaza”
‘Israel continues to pummel the Gaza Strip, where the official death toll has topped 36,500, with over 82,000 injured. Israel has killed at least 15,000 Palestinian children since October 7’
“We are the red line. The people are going to have to end this. People power has always been the change. Our government is not listening, and they are enabling this genocide. And so we have to be the disruptors and make it stop.”
