So our village hasn’t had water for over 14 days now. Israel usually turns on our water lines every ten days, but have skipped the last scheduled water opening.
As a result, many people’s wells are running out while we’re in the middle of a massive heat wave.
Homes her are built with large water reserves, either in the form of big plastic tubs on top of the house, or underwater wells. These reserves are filled on the days Israel allows us water (although it’s limited and these reserves aren’t always filled all the way) and when they run out…. You’re completely out of water. No toilets, no showers, no drinking water, etc.
To compound the issue, on the hottest days Israeli settlers turn their ACs up creating a massive spike in electricity demand. To compensate, our electricity is shut off.
So we’re in the middle of a heat wave with no water, little electricity, and severely limited movement, facing intimidation campaigns by Israeli soldiers and settlers, and yet we continue to be “in the wrong” for fighting to change this half-life.

To the most incredible person I ever met. You are my soulmate. You are my partner in crime. You are my twin flame. You are my best friend. You are my bottom bitch. You are my princess. You are my lover. You are my fighter. Most importantly you are my wife. And I love you and I hate you. And you make me laugh and you make me cry.. but you are worth every moment of everyday. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for allowing me to be in yours. You deserve nothing but love and happiness and I hope I can provide that and more.
