“Mommy was killed by a missile,” 2-year-old Isel explains.

Israel’s assault on Gaza has orphaned 17,000 Palestinian children. Bisan uncovers their heartbreaking stories and speaks to a nurse who has become a surrogate mother to one of the children left at her hospital.

Other children are struggling to survive with dwindling resources and extended relatives are unsure they will be able to provide for the toddlers and teens left without a parent to support them.

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

No aid to Israel without conditions and humanitarian aid to Gazans!

1,085 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

The World Health Organization warns that unless fighting in Gaza stops and substantially more aid is delivered immediately, the death toll there from hunger and preventable disease could overtake the number killed in the bombardment. Urgently addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is not only a moral imperative but a vital US and Israeli national security priority. So I’m writing to ask that aid to Israel be passed ONLY alongside humanitarian relief and with necessary oversight measures to ensure our aid is used in compliance with US and international law—especially since Benjamin Netanyahu just rejected a carefully negotiated ceasefire proposal. He’s apparently fine with continued carnage in Gaza, but that doesn’t mean we should be, and it definitely doesn’t mean we should help pay for it. Leaders from all countries involved—especially the U.S.—should be focussed on getting the remaining hostages home, pressuring Netanyahu to step down, saving innocent people in Gaza, and working out a peace agreement that includes the establishment of a Palestinian state. More weaponry with no strings attached accomplishes none of that. Thanks.

🇸🇩 Right now and as we speak, families in @Sudan are forced to abandon their homes, clutching onto a fragile hope of safety.

🇸🇩 This humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding amidst forgotten wars and demands our urgent attention and unwavering solidarity.

🇸🇩 Currently, 24.8 million people need humanitarian assistance. The ongoing military conflict has caused the largest internal displacement crisis with approximately 9.05 million having crossed borders as of 31 December 2023. 

🟢 Please follow @red_maat, @bsonblast and others through their platforms to learn about the background of the conflict and day-to-day updates of what’s happening on the ground.

🇸🇩 In this post, I want to bring everyone’s attention to MUTUAL AID. Community-based mutual aid groups are continuing to play a MAJOR role in the humanitarian response, especially as rampant insecurity restricts international relief agencies from accessing the most affected areas.

🇸🇩 It is pivotal to understand that these community-driven #mutualaid responses are building collective trust & legitimacy. They are doing all that they can to prevent further erosion of the torn social fabric by mobilising communities, not creating the dependence that traditional w*stern aid often impose.

🇸🇩 We must recognise that supporting community-led responses does not only save lives but directly contributes towards rebuilding a Sudan that is directly responsive to the needs of its citizens.

🇸🇩 We must continue to support the agency of the people of Sudan to resist and organize with their communities during this devastating conflict, and do all we can to support them in saving lives and their beautiful country.

An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

POTUS must put strong conditions on Israel funding now.

727 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

The time has come to put strong conditions on any aid going to the Israeli government. Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t listening to President Biden, or to the families of hostages, or to the global community. He’s not interested in negotiating towards peace. He doesn’t seem to care about freeing the hostages. Instead he’s insisting on undertaking an assault on Rafah, a neighborhood filled with starving civilians who have no place left to go. It’s a mission that will have a catastrophically high body count. Any American funding should be conditioned on his absolutely not doing this. In general, I do NOT want my tax dollars paying for missiles, bombs, or armaments to be used against a ravaged population of mostly women and children in Gaza. I don’t want it paying for war crimes. I don’t want it funding settlement expansion. The U.S. has leverage. It’s time use it. Sometimes even our closest friends require tough talk. Put strong conditions on Israel funding now. Thanks.

Israeli Forces Kill Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar Amid Ongoing Conflict

Israeli Forces Kill Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar Amid Ongoing Conflict Israeli forces have confirmed the death of Yahya Sinwar, a prominent Hamas leader and chief architect of last year's devastating attack on Israel. This operation, which occurred during intense fighting in Gaza, marks a significant moment in the ongoing conflict, with Israeli leaders celebrating it as a pivotal step towards dismantling Hamas. The Circumstances of Sinwar's Death According to the Israeli military, troops unknowingly encountered Sinwar during a battle in the southern city of Rafah. After an engagement with Hamas militants, they discovered a body in the rubble, later identified as Israel's most-wanted man. Initial reports suggest that Sinwar was killed when Israeli forces targeted a building where he was hiding. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the operation as a "settling of scores" just over a year after Hamas-led militants killed around 1,200 people in Israel and took 250 hostages in an attack that shocked the nation. Netanyahu declared, “Hamas will no longer rule Gaza. This is the start of the day after Hamas,” indicating a shift in the military campaign against the group. Implications for the Conflict While U.S. officials expressed hopes that Sinwar's death might pave the way for a cease-fire, the ongoing war has already resulted in significant devastation in Gaza, with over 42,000 Palestinians reported dead. The Gaza Health Ministry notes that more than half of those killed are women and children, as it does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Although Sinwar's death is seen as a severe blow to Hamas, the group has shown resilience in the past following the loss of its leaders. There was no immediate confirmation of Sinwar's death from Hamas itself. Netanyahu has reiterated Israel's commitment to continue the fight until all hostages are freed and emphasized that Israel would maintain control over Gaza to prevent Hamas from rearming, which suggests the potential for prolonged conflict. Broader Military Actions This recent development comes as Israel has opened a new front against Hezbollah in Lebanon, escalating bombardments and launching ground operations against the Iran-backed militia. In his address regarding Sinwar's demise, Netanyahu stated, “Our war is not yet ended.” President Joe Biden also commented on the situation, suggesting that Sinwar's death could lead to a political settlement that benefits both Israelis and Palestinians. He expressed intentions to discuss strategies for securing the return of hostages and ending the ongoing warfare. Sinwar’s Leadership Role Yahya Sinwar had been a leading figure in Hamas for years, assuming the top leadership role in July after his predecessor, Ismail Haniyeh, was reportedly killed in an Israeli strike in Tehran. In recent months, Israel has targeted several senior Hamas and Hezbollah figures, claiming to have eliminated key leaders, although some, like the head of Hamas' military wing Mohammed Deif, remain unconfirmed. Israeli military spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari detailed the circumstances of the operation, explaining that troops had identified three Hamas militants before targeting the building where Sinwar was located. Drone footage reportedly captured Sinwar's last moments, showing him in a damaged room before the military struck. Reactions to Sinwar's Death The news of Sinwar's death sparked mixed reactions among Israelis and Palestinians. In Tel Aviv, hundreds demonstrated for the release of hostages, carrying signs that read, “Sinwar’s end, end the war.” Relatives of hostages expressed relief at Sinwar's demise but voiced concerns for the safety of those still held captive. Conversely, in Gaza, some viewed Sinwar as a symbol of resistance against Israeli occupation. Supporters believe that Hamas will quickly replace its fallen leader, stating, “After the leader, a thousand leaders will come.” Continued Violence in Gaza As the conflict escalates, Israeli forces have intensified ground operations in areas like the Jabaliya refugee camp, claiming to confront regrouped Hamas fighters. Recent airstrikes have targeted shelters for displaced Palestinians, resulting in significant civilian casualties, including children. The Israeli military maintains that it aims to conduct precise strikes while minimizing civilian harm, yet the ongoing violence continues to raise humanitarian concerns and exacerbate the suffering of the Palestinian population.

Displacement and Despair: The Human Cost of the Ongoing Conflict in Gaza

As the conflict in Gaza escalates, the human cost continues to rise, with displacement becoming a devastating consequence for countless families. Since the onset of hostilities, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have issued multiple evacuation orders, prompting a mass exodus from northern Gaza. Civilians have been instructed to move south under the premise of seeking safety, yet the reality on the ground reveals a harrowing struggle for survival.

Waves of Displacement

Beginning on October 13, 2023, the IDF advised residents of northern Gaza to relocate southward. This directive led to significant chaos, as over one million people flooded the main thoroughfare, Salah al-Din Street, in search of refuge. Satellite images capture the drastic changes in the landscape, revealing tent cities sprouting across the region as families seek temporary shelter.

Despite the IDF designating certain areas, such as al-Mawasi in southern Gaza, as humanitarian zones, these regions have not escaped the relentless bombing campaigns. Reports confirm that airstrikes have targeted these supposed safe havens, leaving civilians in a constant state of fear and uncertainty.

A Mother's Harrowing Journey

Insaf Hassan Ali, a mother of two, embodies the plight of many families. Once living a comfortable middle-class life, she has faced the nightmare of displacement 15 times since the conflict began. Now, she and her children reside in a tent amid desolate sand dunes, battling not only the threat of airstrikes but also extreme poverty and inadequate sanitation.

“Our lives were beautiful, and suddenly we had nothing,” Insaf laments, recounting the horrors of their journey south. “Constantly being displaced is incredibly hard on my children's health. They’ve suffered from malnutrition and diseases like amoebic dysentery.”

Her narrative is one of resilience in the face of despair, illustrating the psychological toll on children who are forced to grow up in such dire circumstances. “Each time we moved to a new place, it would be bombed, and someone in our family would be killed,” she shares, her voice trembling with emotion.

The Reality of Humanitarian Crisis

The situation in Gaza is dire, with humanitarian organizations warning of a catastrophic lack of food, clean water, and medical supplies. More than 2 million Palestinians are reportedly facing critical shortages, and health experts indicate rising cases of preventable diseases due to poor living conditions.

Despite some easing of the blockade due to international pressure, the essential needs of Gazans remain unmet. The IDF's complete siege, implemented at the conflict's outset, has compounded the suffering, forcing civilians to survive under life-threatening conditions.

The Path Forward

As the war continues, the urgency for humanitarian intervention grows. Families like Insaf's are caught in a cycle of violence and displacement, yearning for safety, stability, and the chance to rebuild their lives. The international community must prioritize the protection of civilians and work towards a ceasefire, ensuring that the voices of those suffering are heard amidst the chaos.

The ongoing conflict not only reshapes the landscape of Gaza but also the lives of its people, underscoring the need for a renewed commitment to peace and humanitarian aid in a region marred by turmoil.
