‘Everything is gone’: Israel destroys entire villages in Lebanon

Rights groups fear tactic of ‘domicide’ trialled in Gaza, where entire areas are made uninhabitable, is being used again

[remindertoclick]

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has helped me in supporting Aahed and his family 💕

It disgusts me every day to know we live in an age where the most powerful governments and the richest businessmen remain tactfully neutral and conviniently blind to on an ongoing humanitarian crisis that they could likely put a swift end to...

Yet at the same time, it warms my heart to know that when the government has failed us over and over and over again, that we the average internet users from all over the globe are coming together over social media, hearts full of anger and sympathy, to try and lend a hand however we can.

We may not hold as much power as our politicians, but we are many. And if every one of us does just a little and gives just a little, we can save lives.

Aahed reported gaining about $350 in donations since my last post, which is amazing! But they still need over a thousand dollars for him to get himself and his family somewhere safer.

Help me make this possible for them.

Thank you all for helping me. When we stand together, we can do anything!

Rainy weather, a new pain. My friends, after the brutal war that destroyed everything, we are trying to adapt to our new situation. My family lives in a dilapidated tent and is unable to bear the winter cold, after our house was destroyed and we lost everything in it under the rubble.

After we got used to living in a warm house and a clean environment, we were forced to leave our area and were forced to live in a cold tent where water drips on us. That's why, friends, we need to rent a house to spend the winter in.Please help me. My family is suffering from the bitter cold, and every winter we are flooded. Don't leave us alone.

Share or donate please!! 🥺

Curse Be Upon Everyone

The United States has divided Gaza into two colors: Green represents the areas controlled by Israel, and Red represents the areas where the people of Gaza live.

The areas currently occupied by the Israeli army include my city, Beit Hanoun, where I live.

Because of this, neither I nor anyone from my city has been able to return to it — not until this very moment, not completely.

The policy of forced displacement and land theft is the most cruel and painful thing in this life.

Curse be upon everyone who conspired in killing us, torturing us, and uprooting us from our land and our cities.

"The Flower and I" by Ralph Kuznitzki

Record Group 48: Records of the Office of the Secretary of the InteriorSeries: Central Classified FilesFile Unit: 1-5 Refugees (Pt. 1)

This is an English composition written by Ralph Kuznitzki, a 15 year old refugee living in the Fort Ontario refugee camp in Oswego, New York.

The flower and I

The fresh and rather cold morning breeze blew directly in my face, making my ears and the and the tip of my nose, red. I had passed the houses which protected me against it, and now I was crossing a wet lawn. I hurried to pass it. But when I arrived at the next block of houses, I noticed that a small part of it had come along with me. It was stuck in my shoes, that small flower. After having picked it up, I was about to throw it away, when I suddenly came to think of a strange fact. How greatly likely was the flower's life with mine! It may be a stupid idea, but there is something true with it.

Born far away, it stayed in it calm life only for a short time. Where was it born? I don't know. It didn't answer me when I asked it. In its youngest years the wind of nature brought it and the tornado of Nazis brought me away from our mother place. Many things we saw; we passed many strange spots on this earth, I imagine. Then comes the difference between our lives. After a long time it found its place, where to settle down, where to stay for all its life, till the cruel feet of a boy came to take it away. I found a place too; but will this place be my fatherland, my place where I can settle down, develop and finally -- die? I hope so, because I like it and feel the liberty which is here, as the medicine for my illness. The illness of terror and supressed [sic] nights of a man And then when the foot was bones will strike me, I'll be satisfied with my life and my work.

The shrill blast of the sirens awoke me from my dreams. I didn't throw the flower away. I kept it and now it hangs on the wall of my room, as a symbol of hope for a home for myself and a fatherland for me and my descendants.

[HELP] in genuine need of help to get home

I’m 24 years old, and for the past year and a half I’ve been working in the creative industry for campaigns and events abroad. I came here mostly for family reasons and an internship that was promising. The work itself has been substantial, but the payment situation has been a disaster. I’ve been waiting on delayed payment with no clear timeline for when it’s coming through. I keep pushing but I’m running out of time and it’s not a sustainable life to live.

Earlier this year, I used most of my savings to cover a cheaper rent deposit, medical bills for endometriosis pain management, and general living costs. I made these decisions thinking the work payment would come through and cover me. It didn’t. Whatever I do I need help to be back by August. This is really about accessing the social support systems I’m entitled to and getting back to stable ground where I can restart.

The immediate crisis of rent is handled. I managed to scrape that together through help from someone I’d worked with before and selling what I could. But that took everything I had left. I’m still recovering from being sick with a flu, and the stress of the past few months has made it hard to eat enough or sleep properly, which has made my endometriosis symptoms worse than usual. Had to give up my dog I was fostering as well so it’s been harder than I expected it to be. Just the cooking recently has had me crying because Id always give him some of the scraps to snack on. Nervous system is completely shot to say the least

I need $2500 total. This covers the cost of getting back, moving costs, and enough to bridge the gap until I can access support systems once I’m physically there.

Please help share, I’m grateful for anything you’re able to contribute. I’ve dealt with so many predatory requests the past week and no real help at all so please spare me from that at least. I can only take so much. My DMs are open if anyone wants more verification of me and I’m more than willing to jump on a call and explain my situation in more detail.

So far: $450/$2500
