Israeli occupation forces have opened fire on Palestinians trying to return to their homes in the north of the Gaza Strip, killing at least one person, as Hamas accuses Israel of delaying the implementation of the ceasefire deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will not allow the return of the displaced Palestinians over a delay by the Palestinian movement in releasing a female civilian captive.

The dispute came as a ceasefire between the two sides entered its second week, with the exchange of four Israeli soldiers for 200 Palestinian prisoners taking place on Saturday.

“Palestinians here in the north are waiting for their loved ones to return from the south,” said Al Jazeera journalist Ibrahim al-Khalili.

He went on to say: “Some of them have not seen their loved ones for 15 months of the Israeli war. But even if the displaced Palestinians get the chance to return today, they will be coming back to nothing but rubble. The Israeli operation in North Gaza governorate – we are talking about Beit Hanoon, Beit Lahiya and Jabaliya – has completely destroyed these areas. The mass devastation that has been inflicted in the area has rendered it unfit to sustain human life. But people are waiting. They say every minute feels like a day. But no one has been allowed to cross over yet.”

Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers have continued a large-scale military operation in and near the city of Jenin, killing at least two people, including a two-year old girl.

my friend is still dying

anas's gastric cancer is metastatic and he's suffering terribly. i've seen videos and photos of him vomiting blood and i don't feel right sharing even if he's given me permission because i shouldn't have to show you my sick friend at his worst for people to care. he is not alone. he still has to care for his parents all while dealing with this illness taking so much from him, and the hospitals in the strip have been left with nothing to treat him. all i want is my friend's safety. all i want is his happiness. please give whatever you can

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Thanks to your incredible kindness, we’ve reached 20,020 out of 30,000. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line

Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 might not seem like much, but it could mean a meal, clean water, or a tiny bit of hope for my family.

Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.

Why Your Support Matters

Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

Even with a ceasefire, the lives of Gazans have been destroyed. Here are dolls made by Safaa, who used to support her family with a crochet business before losing her home in an airstrike:

Her parents both have diabetes and have not been able to access treatment since October 2023. Her father also lost an eye in an attack.

Please support her and her parents in rebuilding their home and the crochet business

Journalists interrupt and berate Blinken on Gaza policy.

Several journalists who are outspoken critics of US support for Israel loudly lambasted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the war on Gaza on Thursday, repeatedly interrupting his final press conference as he sought to defend his handling of the 15-month-old war.

“Criminal! Why aren’t you in The Hague,” shouted Sam Husseini, an independent journalist and longtime critic of Washington’s approach to the world, before being physically dragged outside of the briefing room.

“Why did you keep the bombs flowing when we had a deal in May?” Max Blumenthal, editor of the Grayzone, an outlet that strongly criticizes many aspects of US foreign policy, called out to Blinken before being escorted out.

The ceasefire has started! 8:30am in Gaza (1:30am ET).

People had already begun celebrating and making their way back home where they can over the last day (as Israel continues to bomb):

Annnd it's started:

[coorier]

The first thing I'm doing if the ceasefire goes through in Gaza?

The first thing? God, I don't know if I can give a clear answer, because we've simply started to survive one day at a time.

But let me tell you, the first thing I'll do... is to breathe. Yes, breathe air without fear, raise my head to the sky and know there's no plane above us, that the only sounds I hear are sounds of life.

After that? I'll run. Run through our streets that have become rubble, look for my family, my friends, any signs of the life that once was.

I will run after the graves of my friends and relatives whom we know nothing about, try to tidy the graves a little, and say: my friend, the fire has calmed, we can now have a moment to ourselves without fear.

I will go back to our house, collect some memories from under the rubble, I might find a photograph or a piece of cloth or even a scent that once lived there.

I will sit with my family under the tent that sheltered us in place of our house, and I will try to tell them that tomorrow will be better, even if I don't believe that myself.

After that? I will dream. I will start drawing new dreams, small dreams... like a cup of tea on a quiet morning, or big dreams... like rebuilding our house.

And you, if you heard the news of a ceasefire, what's the first thing you're doing?

I will rebuild my family's house, and look forward to a new life full of love and peace.

Help my family in Gaza to rebuild our house !!!🍉

I still can’t believe its over,, my people will sleep without the bombs falling down all the day & night

Without the drones they will sleep knowing they’re going to wake up

I’m so happy finally gaza free

I wish i’m still there with them

The ceasefire in Gaza has begun, and thank God we are still alive and well.

Thanks to your generous support, we have been able to get through these difficult times.

Your help was not just financial, it was a life-saving gift for our family.

There is not much time left for our campaign, and if you can contribute again, it will make a huge difference in accelerating our journey to safety. Your contribution may also inspire others to donate, helping us reach our goal faster.

As we inch closer to a ceasefire (parties have nominally agreed, but we need an official signing and start), updates from Gazans as they wait:

-Layan and Sarah drew this during the war and asked me to share it as a thank-you to all of you, Tumblr community.-

These drawings were also made possible because of your support. They were safe and able to draw and dream of hope, simply because you stood by us with your words and donations.

Let it be in my own words: I, Engineer Mohammed from Gaza, write:

My wife’s first act after the ceasefire agreement is announced will be to walk through the streets, crying.

Layan’s first act will be to visit her school, my cousin’s grave, and my uncle’s grave.

Sarah wants to stay out in the street until midnight, without fear.

Adam wants 100 shekels to buy many things and toys and to visit the beach.

And all of them want to go on a long drive in the car.

As for me, I just want to cry and sleep for a long time.

To cry for dozens of loved ones, and to sleep for the first time without fear—because we are truly exhausted.

Heartfelt gratitude:

This photo was taken especially for you.

Since my first day with you in the Tumblr community, you have been my family and the family of my children. No one hesitated to support us—everyone, without exception. From those who helped by sharing posts and spreading our story, to those who reached out to check on us, supported us with kind words, and many who donated for our sake.

You have been a family to us, and the reason we have remained safe until now. Your support has kept us alive and enabled us to afford basic needs, even with the soaring prices.

Thanks to you, we are closer to safety. My wife, Enas, my daughters Layan and Sarah, my sons Adam and Amir, and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts ♥️.

Now, we are hearing good news about the imminent announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza, as well as the entry of proper caravans for living instead of tents and our destroyed homes. There’s also news about more substantial aid being delivered and heavy machinery arriving to rebuild roads and restore life.

Additionally, there are preparations underway to hand over the Rafah border crossing with Egypt under European supervision. We hope this happens soon so that Layan, Sarah, and Adam can return to school and education after traveling.

With your support, we are just a step away from achieving our goal, as mentioned in previous posts regarding financial details and expenses.

We urge you to share this post as a message of gratitude to you all, and as a final push for this campaign so that we can start a life full of hope with you, as you have always been and still are with us.
