No one deserves such cruelty, to suffer and starve. I can’t imagine what the families of the hostages are feeling.

Palestinian families also don’t deserve to starve and be tortured and killed.

I hope aid will be allowed in to Gaza as soon as possible and a permanent ceasefire will be prioritized.

The activists on the #Handala have been illegally kidnapped by IOF. Devastating to see the aid and baby formula not making it in when so many in Gaza are starving.

At 70, Vigdis Bjorvand from Norway is sailing to Gaza on 'Handala' to help end Israel's illegal siege. A Palestine activist since 1978, she hopes to deliver aid and solidarity to Palestinians.
Vigdis stands with Palestinians as governments remain silent.

Let's be clear: Reproductive and gender-affirming care is life-saving and necessary. And everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves, not the government.

Trump has shown he doesn’t care about our needs & civil liberties. We are only as safe & free as our most vulnerable people.

In the face of overwhelm, some community care options:
- join local collective action
- check on a friend
- help a loved one mend or repair something
- volunteer time

Israel kills, lies, and the Western media believe it
The execution of 15 Gaza medics and rescuers demonstrates just how normalised the dehumanisation of Palestinians is.
