This message is from folks in Gaza City on Tuesday. What will it take for the world to intervene in the intentional murder of people just trying to live their lives.?
Picture of a text with the words: things are getting worse. Every minute a rocket falls on a house and quad copter planes prevent everyone from moving until they bring good water to drink, we bring it from the heart of death.

The Israeli government is systematically killing everyone in Gaza. This is a genocide. We must all work to stop it. For Gaza, and also for our own humanity. #LetGazaLive
Screenshot that says: I’m talking to you, maybe tomorrow we can’t communicate because of the Internet outage and violent bombing.

#LetGazaLive
Screenshot with the text: There is no transportation or a place to go. Quadcopter planes fire heavily, the bombing is violent, and the smell of death is everywhere, and the neighborhood is like a ghost city today.

Pray for Gaza. Advocate for Gaza. Scream for Gaza. Give to Gaza.
Screenshot of a text that reads: The neighborhood where I live has been evacuated. A few people remained among them. We stayed because we don’t have the money to go south.

Please don’t forget Gaza!! Civilian families are being starved and bombed by the IDF. Our friends have struggled so long just to survive. Here is what they tell me:
Screenshot of a text that reads: Hello (blank) and his family, how are you? I’m sorry for the late reply, but the situation is catastrophic, in the sense of the word. The occupation army is 500 meters away from us and maybe less, and we can’t get out of the house.

Your daily reminder that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza was planned and deliberately brought about by Israel with the US govt’s full participation. Here is a note from our friends, just trying to survive. #FeedGaza
Picture of a text that reads, “The occupation army enters two trucks every half hour for people to fight over them in Gaza. People are killing each other in exchange for bringing food.

Your daily reminder that to be a human in Gaza is to have an impossible choice. You seek food, which is incredibly dangerous. Or you don’t seek food and hasten you and your family’s death from starvation. All of this could be changed immediately if the US and Israeli governments chose to. #FeedGaza
Photo of a text from our friends in Gaza, “(Crossed out name) went out since the morning and has not returned until now. He had his cousin with him. We have just received the news of his martyrdom (his cousin’s). I can’t reach my husband. I am very worried and very scared. I hope he returns safely.

Your daily reminder that Gaza is starving to death from a manufactured famine that the governments of Israel and the US refuse to put a stop to. This is willful murder of an entire people. #FeedGaza
Picture of a text from our friends in Gaza that says: “Today my husband will go to death aid. I pray for him to come back in good health. I told him not to go, but he insists on going for the children. He is tired and exhausted, but not alone. All of Gaza is tired to look for food.”

Your daily reminder that Gaza is starving. This is a note from our friends from a few days ago. The messages have been bleak for sometime, but the level of desperation now reflects the successful starvation campaign on civilians by Israel. Tell everyone you know, do whatever you can. #FeedGazaNow
Picture of a bucket with some flour and a text that says: this is our share for nine people, better than nothing, thank God. Really, things are very difficult and harsh in Gaza. People fall into the streets from hunger. For three days I have been living on water and salt. Thank God, today I brought 5 kg of flour, and children live on a few boiled potatoes. The little girl (not shared) is my cousin’s name is Ghani. They are displaced here and they are with us in the same apartment because of the bombing in their area. She loves food very much.

Your daily reminder that Gaza is starving. Our friends in Gaza call the US run food program “death aid” because it is so dangerous, but it is also the only source of food. Do whatever you can. Send money. Call your legislators. Talk to your neighbors. #FeedGaza
Photo of a text from our friends in Gaza: Yesterday, my cousins and I went to death aid, and thank God, for the first time I succeeded in getting some water. My cousins and I brought a whole bag of flour, and my father and I divided it. We got 5 kg, three days…

Taking some time recently to soak up beauty. This is from the Cascades in Washington.
Forested Mountainy area in the lower portion of the photo with a few trees damaged by fire in 2015. The forest is reestablishing itself. The top half of the photo includes a snowcapped mountain top, with an active glacier.
