How Trapped Palestinians Fell in Love With Bird-Watching

Draconian Israeli regulations make it difficult to access the binoculars and long camera lenses they need, but bird-watchers are flourishing

The skies of Gaza fill with shifting shapes on an early spring morning. At first they are barely visible, only specks soaring above central Gaza’s wetlands. Mandy Sirdah quickly raises her binoculars. “Storks!” she shouts excitedly. Close by, Lara Sirdah, her identical twin sister wearing matching clothes, grabs her long-focus camera and points it to the sky. “So many! So beautiful!” she cries out with joy as she snaps photos of hundreds of white storks flying in circles above her. Every spring, millions of birds set out from their wintering grounds in Africa and make their way north to Europe and Asia. At the intersection of three continents, the Middle East is an important stopover and one of the world’s busiest corridors for bird migration. Many of these birds fly over Gaza, an overcrowded coastal enclave often described as an “open-air prison.” The birds soar above more than two million people, most of them refugees whose families were forced to leave their villages in 1948 with the establishment of the State of Israel and have been unable to return. Concentrated in refugee camps, Palestinians in Gazahave also been confined by Israeli policies of military closure over many decades and a brutal air, sea and land blockade imposed since 2007. “Our movement is very restricted,” says Lara, who feels cut off from the rest of the world. “We wish we were birds so we could move freely.” Over the past years, birdwatching trips to the Strip’s wetlands, groves and fields have offered the twins a rare opportunity to escape the feeling of confinement. With their heads raised to the sky, they search for birds and dream of flight

literal children don't get lawyers for us immigration hearings anymore.

Thousands of immigrant children risk losing lawyers after Trump aid cuts

More than 20,000 unaccompanied children risk going to US immigration court alone after federal funding cuts

UN experts alarmed by child rights violations in USA immigration procedures

GENEVA – UN experts* today expressed concern at the impact of terminating federal funding for legal services for unaccompanied children in i

Please don't forget the children suffering right now. If you've got the ability, donate to the Safe Passage Project, an organization that provides children in nyc and long island going through the deportation process with free immigration lawyers. and they win 90% of their cases!!

[fadell-aldany]

I don't know whether I should say this or not. These may be my last words or the last time I write a post, so I will forgive anyone who sees this post and supports me and doesn't ignore me.

[fadell-aldany]

I write these words in great pain, my eyes brimming with tears due to the severe infections in my wounds. The delay in my treatment and my inability to travel have left me unable to bear this situation any longer. I am exhausted by the pain of my injury, the severe anemia, and the exorbitant cost of the medications I need.

[fadell-aldany]

All I care about is stopping these frequent fainting spells and the constant pain I suffer. Please help me to buy my medication so I can recover quickly and return to my normal life, and to save myself and my entire family.

[fadell-aldany]

If you can, please help me buy my medication so I can travel and receive treatment as soon as possible Your donation

will enable me to purchase my medication and will save me and my entire family. Our lives are threatened by hunger, illness, and anemia, and this donation will put an end to this ongoing suffering.

[closet-keys]

Please help my dear friend Fadel. He is dealing with constant pain from malnutrition and the shrapnel he needs to get surgically removed and now the infection. Please donate enough for him to afford some pain medicine and treatment as soon as possible!

[fadel-dani]

My Friends, I implore you to help me and donate. You don't know how we will survive if this support stops. My condition is critical, and my pain and fainting spells are constant. I depend on your help to buy my painkillers and medications to stay alive. Please, please don't hesitate to donate. Please donate now. Please don't leave me alone. Please stand by me.
