'A thin body and eyes searching for life. Despite all this pain, an innocent smile appears on her face as she faces the camera lens, as if to say: I am still breathing... Is there hope? Exhausted by famine and malnutrition in northern Gaza, she is only six months old.'
The Handala Freedom Flotilla is now less than 100 nautical miles from Gaza’s shore — beyond the point where Israel intercepted the Madleen boat last month. May it reach safely and break the blockade.
URGENT 🚨 PSA we received Intel from Israel foreign ministry that will attempt to KIDNAP us TONIGHT ‼️ Governments are supposed to serve the people they have failed particularly the UK and US which are the catalyst of why Israel continues its war crimes we need All Hands to flood

Read this very carefully: *One quarter* of all the people who have died of starvation in Gaza over the past 22 months have died in the past *3 days*
Medical professionals with Doctors Against Genocide; Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI); former diplomats, veterans and more. House Triangle, The US Capitol. Thursday, July 24, 10am. Hundreds of thousands in Gaza face death from forced starvation within hours or days on our watch.…
Israel announces plans to build a concentration camp in Gaza, says its aim is to remove Palestinians from Gaza, lies about "negotiating" in good faith & when the Palestinian side takes "negotiations" seriously, Israel blows up the deal and the US/Israel blame Hamas. Same pattern.
We have decided to bring our team home from Doha for consultations after the latest response from Hamas, which clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. While the mediators have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good…
The @GazaFFlotilla Handala is nearing Egypt’s northern coast, which means it’s getting very close to Gaza. With the impunity granted to the Israeli occupation, nothing protects Handala and the crew aboard except for media coverage and the eyes of the world.
