#end violence now

[viiicestlavie]

Heartbreak does not even begin to cover what I feel for the lives lost between the Israeli-Palestinian war that is currently raging. ON Eid al-fitr, in the middle of battling COVID 19!!! My heart goes to all the innocent souls that were unnecessarily sacrificed. Men, women and children, alike. 💔🕯️
