🇵🇸Free Palestine🇵🇸

I am Suheila Alwan, a mother of four daughters and one son. I am 34 years old, but the weight of life and suffering has made me feel much older. We once lived with dignity in a modest home, and my husband’s boat provided for all our needs. But the war has left us with nothing. Our house has been reduced to rubble, and my husband’s boat, our sole source of income, was completely destroyed.

Today, my family and I live in a tent that barely shields us from the cold and rain. My youngest child asks me every day, "Where is our home? When will we go back?" And I find myself standing helpless, unable to answer. My little girls sleep on the hard ground without enough blankets to keep them warm, and my eldest son tries to be strong for his siblings, but he’s just a child—he needs safety and care, things I can no longer provide😭😭😭😭😭

We have no electricity, no clean water, and no consistent access to food. Every day is a struggle to secure even the basics that once felt so ordinary😭😭😭😭😭

I am not asking for much—only for the sake of my children. I wish I could protect them from the biting cold and the hunger that weakens their small bodies. I dream of seeing them smile again, to hear their laughter free from fear and sorrow😭😭😭

I know there are many others suffering like us, but as a mother, I cannot give up on my family. I appeal to you with all the love and desperation in my heart: help us rebuild our lives. Even the smallest gesture of kindness could mean everything to us—a chance to live again with dignity and hope😭😭😭

June 23, 2025 - Maersk, the second-largest shipping company in the world, says it will stop working with companies in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank after intense pressure from anti-occupation activists. It's a good start, but they still transport weapons parts to Israel, so the fight against Maersk continues! [video]

20 June 2025.

The US-backed terrorist state of Israel killed both this father's young daughters.

Israel carried out a targeted attack on the location where they were staying in Al-Shati refugee camp, after they had gone with their grandmother to buy food from the market. They returned as martyrs to Al-Shifa Hospital.

Former Biden official Matthew Miller Israel has 'without doubt' committed war crimes in Gaza

In a wide-ranging interview for Sky News' Trump 100 podcast, Matthew Miller also said if he was "outside of government" he would have prefer

Between one year and another

The Palestinian people will never forget these moments

They will never forget that the world is celebrating its new year for the second time, and the Palestinian people are welcoming the new year with a hemorrhage of death. They are welcoming the new year with new forms of death. They are dying of hunger - cold - bombing - displacement - siege

They will never forget that they were left to face the most difficult and harshest conditions with zero cubic meters of tools

They will never forget that the sound of their children's frost and freezing did not reach beyond the roof of their tents

Let this silence be forever and let us swallow our regret

Let the world see how we welcome our new year Doctors who stood firm in the face of war for more than 440 days and finally protested while working at Kamal Adwan Hospital

Let the world witness that we are welcoming our new year with the death of more than 7 newborn babies from the severe cold inside the tents.

Children are freezing to death in Gaza

On December 26, Gaza’s health ministry confirmed the fourth case of an infant freezing to death in 72 hours. A day later, a 28-year-old doct

Let the world witness that we welcome our new year by dying of hunger.

Israel-Gaza war: 'High risk' of famine persists, UN-backed assessment says

But experts say evidence does not indicate a famine is occurring in the north after an aid increase.

Let the world bear witness that my family is still asking you to donate so that we do not die of cold, hunger and homelessness.

Ireland is Israel's second biggest trading partner — we need to look at why

Despite strong public support for sanctions, Ireland’s trade with Israel is booming — and multinationals are driving the growth

Turns out Ireland is fueling Israel's economy more than ANYONE after the US! Mostly by buying microchips which are hard to boycott. All that protest means nothing without an economic blockade, Irish people please pressure your government for sanctions!

Please don’t ignore this. I’m just a kid trying to help my family survive.

We lost our home.

We don’t have a safe place to sleep.

There’s barely any food or clean water.

Every night, we sleep in fear — the bombings never stop.

My whole family suffers every day, crying from hunger and terrified by the constant bombings.

We need help.

Please donate, reblog, or leave a comment. Anything helps.

Please don’t let us be forgotten.

[sar-soor]

Ahmad has been fundraising for over a year now. He's been advocating for himself and taking care of his father for over a year, and yet he is still struggling to reach his goal. Currently, he's at $9.4k/20k, nearly halfway there! Ahmad's goal is well within reach, but his campaign is moving very slowly.

If you're able, please donate to Ahmad's campaign. If you don't have the means to donate yourself, then send his GFM link to people in your life who do. Your parents, siblings, friends, mentors, whoever. Anyone who is able and willing to give. Let's reblogging Ahmad's posts, keep spreading his campaign, and help him reach his fundraising goal as quickly as possible!
