I was working as a lawyer to bring justice, and now you are the ones who will bring justice to me...We lost our jobs, our homes, all our belongings, we became homeless.. Asking for help is not easy, but saving lives on the front lines

I have children. I suffer from a hernia, diaphragm, stomach bacteria, and infections, and I need continuous treatment...it is expensive.

In the name of humanity and not participating in genocide.I ask you to re-share my story and help my children if possible. Ten dollars is enough to save my children.

🌱✨ "A New Dawn Amid the Ashes" ✨🌱

Hello, my name is Jaber, a 13-year-old from Gaza. My family and I once lived in peace, surrounded by laughter and dreams. But in an instant, everything changed 💔. Our home, the school I loved, and even some of the dearest members of my family were taken from us by war.

Now, all I have left is my mother, Maysaa, who suffers from a heart condition, and my siblings, who are my only remaining comfort. Every day, we struggle to rebuild what we’ve lost, searching for even a glimpse of hope amid the ruins 🕯️🌄.

I am sharing my story because I believe in the kindness of others. With your support, we could take the first steps toward a new beginning 🕊️. Any help, however small, could be the light that guides us out of this darkness. Thank you from the depths of my heart for any compassion you can offer ❤️🙏.

May Allah protect you and your family, Jaber. Please help out guys! Here’s the link to their GFM: https://www.gofundme.com/manage/hope-from-the-rubble

I've lost the love of my life, and my fingers refuse to write the word “death” in connection with him. I am still in denial, grappling with the harsh truth that he is gone. Now, I live amidst the ruins of memories—everything around me serves as a reminder of him. He adored the sky and the sea, always fascinated by the stars. I once told him that I wished the roof of our future home could be made of glass, so we could gaze at the stars together, dreaming of our life ahead. But all of that is now shattered, forever lost since Israel took away the soul of the one I cherished most.

My life has become an empty void, devoid of any motivation to take a single step forward. I find no desire to cry, to eat, or even to exist. Each day is a relentless cycle, repeating itself, as I wait for the moment of my death. I often find myself lost in thoughts of how it might happen: will I die whole, or will my body be scattered, pieces of me consumed by stray dogs and cats?

➡️Now, my focus has shifted to my family and the desperate need to save them from this hell we call home. This is not just a plea; it is a campaign for survival.

Please, if you can, do not hesitate to donate and help us find safety. Every bit counts in this fight for our lives.

books i read in october

So I started my internship in October and I was worried that I might not be able to read as much. However, I managed to squeeze in some time to read during my lunch break, after work, and during the weekends. I managed to read five books and they’re mostly short novels because they’re easier to read when I am swamped with work.

1. To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara

I love Hanya Yanagihara’s writing style and I am currently in the process of reading all of her works. I got this book a while ago but was too intimidated by the size to start reading. Once I do start reading the book, it took me two weeks to get through this it because while I enjoy the writing, it is excruciatingly slow and I just didn’t feel excited to continue reading. I persevered and I ended up quite liking it.

There’s three stories in this book and each story is set in a different time period: 1893, 1993 and 2093. Although the character names are similar in all of the stories, they are not related to each other at all. Each story has different genres, but the message is similar which is love. I know love is such a vague and general message but it is more complex than that. Out of all the stories, my favourite is the last one because I grew attached to Charlie.

2. Our Tethered Skates by Naadhira Zahari

I finished this book in 30 minutes or so because it is very short. It only has 100 pages and the writing is fairly easy to digest as it more suitable for kids and young adults. The premise is similar to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland because the protagonist is transported to a magical kingdom called Verglas and she is declared the warrior Verglas had been waiting for.

There’s a lot of missing plot points because of the length of the book but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The shortness of the book also made it hard for me to formulate my thoughts about it. I think this is definitely a book that younger me would have appreciated more.

3. Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson

I am in the quest to read all of the books that have been adapted into my favourite films and Bridge to Terabithia is the first on the list because I remember the pain I felt watching it as a child a little too well. I was curious to see whether the book is better than the film and I have come to the conclusion that I love both of them equally. I love the film as it is a part of my childhood. I love the book especially because reading from Jesse’s perspective made me understand more how he navigates his loss and grief.

I have always loved reading children’s books that deal with heavy topics, and while I have never experienced the loss of a dear friend, Jesse’s narration of the tragedy made it easy for me to understand the depth of the pain he felt. His disbelief, denial, anger and eventual acceptance is what made the book authentic.

4. Minor Detail by Adania Shibli

Yet another short book but it left such a profound impact on me. The book is a fictionalised account of a real life tragedy in which a Palestinian Bedouin woman was captured, raped and murdered by Israeli soldiers in 1949. After reading this books, I was left astounded and grew obsessed with this minor detail so I looked up the article about this crime on Haaretz. “I saw fit to remove her from the world” is what the platoon commander wrote in his report about this incident and I am just angry by the way he decide on things as though he is God.

The book has two different parts and they’re told by different narrator from different times. The first part is told from an Israeli platoon commander’s perspective during the 1949 tragedy. I find it fascinating the way the author writes from his perspective because he narrates his daily routine and the atrocities he and his squad committed in such a detached and indifferent manner. The second part is set in present day Ramallah. The narrator is haunted by the report on the crimes and ventured on a long and dangerous journey, driving past checkpoints to the place where the atrocity was committed. This part is fascinating to me because of the way the narrator describes life under occupation. She tells of the checkpoints and the regular bombing as if they’re minor details in her daily routine. For Palestinians, that is their reality.

This book was definitely hard to read but it was important for me to read it so that this minor detail is acknowledged and remembered. So that the minor details Palestinians have to live through is understood.

5. Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa

This was certainly one of the most heartbreaking books I have read. I felt all kinds of emotions while reading but the most prominent are hatred and sorrow. Yes, I have been passionate about the situation in Palestine but I had little to no knowledge about the Nakba and the subsequent conflicts afterwards. This book didn’t just educate me. It also made me understand what it is like to be a Palestinian. I’m not saying I understand completely what it is like to be in their circumstances, but reading from these characters’ perspectives has made me realise their reality.

The story revolves around the Abulheja family and what their life had been in the village of Ein Hod, how their lives changed when they were banished by Israel and had to live at a refugee camp in Jenin, and the subsequent conflicts that alter the Abulhejas’ lives. It was a difficult read, as I expected, but I enjoyed reading it nonetheless.
