Eid was Mubarak!

Thinking of those souls who weren’t as fortunate, the ones who spent the day in hardships, without loved ones, without the abundance of food and joy that Eid should be about. A heartfelt prayer that may they be blessed with all that’s good for them. Ameen!

Spoke to Dr Feroze Sidhwa who’s at Nasser Hospital in W Gaza today. He was the resident surgeon attending victims of the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013

Israel has blocked aid into Gaza as Ramadan begins.

It’s ‘a reckless act of collective punishment, explicitly prohibited under international humanitarian law…

Humanitarian aid is not a bargaining chip for applying pressure on parties.’

Not even water!

#RamadanMubarak to you all. May this month bring peace, love, light and heal us in ways we didn’t know we needed to be healed. Spread joy!

Simply stunning.

“We are not going to buy it. We will have it.”

“We’ll have it. Hold it. Cherish it.”

Incredible that it has to be stated but the International Medical Corps has debunked WH comments.

NO U.S. government funding was used to procure or distribute condoms.

Gaza has been at the brink of famine (which most likely took place), was being given life-saving supplies.

Process this: An average of 15 children a day in Gaza were left with potentially life-long disabilities due to explosive weapons in 2024.

15 children, every day.

i don't know of many resources, but the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme is still operating in some of the camps: gcmhp.org/news.

Anyone who’s spoken to children in Gaza would attest to this.
A sibling duo 10 & 16 once told me how death is a constant thought in their head. Every day they feel could be their last.

The scenes from Sednaya prison in Damascus are simply stunning, sobering, heartbreaking.

It’s hard to imagine what the families of the detainees are going through. To finally find their lost loved ones, to confront the horrors they’ve all been through.

Much beyond geopolitics, today is about Syrians and their incomprehensible loss, their tragedy and their wait for justice. Thinking of the millions of Syrians who were forced to flee, so many dying at sea, hundreds of thousands who were imprisoned, tortured, killed. Unimaginable.

When I spoke to Chef Mahmoud back in March, he had just begun feeding North Gaza’s famine-struck families in his soup kitchen

“When you think you’re going to die, you want to start serving and helping others. It’s like a new lease of life,” he told me

Last week, he was killed @pbsnews.bsky.social
