I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Isra. Isra is a journalist in Gaza who has worked for 14 years with a lot of international experience (she is fluent in Spanish).

I am begging folks to share links instead of just screenshotting or quoting content without referring people to the source. Readers deserve the opportunity to examine the info in context, and authors deserve to have their work viewed directly if people are interested. Don't be extractive.
