North Gaza has been under famine conditions for almost a year now- if you’re celebrating Thanksgiving today consider helping another family get something to eat.
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Saeed. Saeed is in North Gaza where he rarely has good internet or a chance to ask for help, so he has raised very little. He was an accountant before the war but lost his home and business because of it and has an injury.

Finished watching #SayNothing? How did you to react to the #StephenRea track? I am stunned by the coincidence that he played an IRA operative in #TheCryingGame.

Riveting series. Finished it this morning and still I am haunted by the characters.
Finished SAY NOTHING. Incredible series, beautifully made, consistently powerful through all nine episodes, a rarity.
