Every other update is see about Palestine is more devastating than the last. Things that occurred 1/16/24:

Bisan live streaming the IOF invading Al-Nasser Hospital, the last functioning hospital in all of Gaza, while bombs land nearby and the planes that dropped them soar over head (*x, x, x) update: Bisan survived the night

Reports of the IOF going through all aid meant for Gaza and removing the anesthesia (x)

Video of a doctor amputating his own daughter’s leg on the dining room table while IOF tanks close in on their home (x warning graphic, update: she lived x)

*the auto subtitles on the video didnt capture the name of the hospital, Al-Nasser, and the name of the area, Khan Yunis, properly

Noor Harazeen, the journalist who brought her children to safety and stayed in Gaza to keep reporting

A true hero and a real journalist, the west could never come close to her bravery

Israeli? Always a bully.

Look at this white AF European occupying a country in middle east telling a nice tan man to go back to his country.

No words could be enough anymore. Thank you for every single picture you have took and shared with the world, thank you for exposing the terrorist state of zionism, thank you for staying strong until the last minute!

Wael Dahdooh, loosing another son, going through the same grieve again, can't imagine how he's feeling now.

Bisan's recent post. I think it's important for you to read it. Tonight 03.12.23, journalists in gaza share their last messages. There are no words to describe the horrors unfolding in gaza right now.

I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!

I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.

I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!

I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!

My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel’s annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .

A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.

Oh my god israel killed Refaat Al-Areer

I would scroll my twitter timeline and feel relief seeing recent posts from him. Tonight it’s full of memorials to his life and work

He was one of the first Palestinians in Gaza I followed to get updates after October 7th

He introduced me to other Palestinian journalists, writers, academics

He mourned every single one of his students whose lives were taken by air strike, sickness, or starvation

There’s no amount of words that could do justice to him, his life, and his work.

His last tweet sent 12/4/2023 12:00am:

“The Democratic Party and Biden are responsible for the Gaza genocide perpetrated by Israel.”

— Refaat Al-Areer

Killed alongside him in a targeted air strike were his brother, sister, and his sister’s 4 children

Israel will perish and it will happen in our lifetimes

The first Palestinian athlete to participate in the Olympic games died on Wednesday at the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza as a result of kidney failure due to power outages and medical shortages as a result of the ongoing Israeli war and siege of the enclave.

Majed Abu Maraheel, who passed away at the age of 61, became the first athlete to be the flag bearer and represent Palestinians at the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996. Being a distance runner, he competed in the 10km race.

Since his breakthrough on the world stage, more than 20 Palestinian men and women have been able to compete at Olympic competitions.

"He was a Palestinian icon, and he will remain as such," his brother told Paltoday TV after the funeral.

"We tried to evacuate him to Egypt but then the Rafah crossing was closed (by Israel), and his condition kept deteriorating."

In his preparation for the Olympics, Abu Maraheel would often be seen on his daily runs from his home in Gaza to the Erez Crossing with Israel, which Israel closed in October after imposing a full blockade on the Strip.

Last month, it was reopened for the first time since then.

He would often have to pass through that crossing for his job as a day labourer in Israel. After participating in the Olympics, Abu Maraheel went on to become a coach for other Palestinian runners hoping to replicate his presence at the international competition.

Abu Maraheel's death highlights the grim fate of many Palestinians who are facing kidney failure in Gaza.

A report from the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor in March found that there were between 1,000 to 1,500 patients in Gaza with kidney failure, and that they are facing a "slow death" because of "a lack of medical and therapeutic services, medications and other necessities".

Israel denies blocking humanitarian aid into Gaza, though aid agencies say they are not able to get aid in because of Israeli restrictions.

Over 100 journalists have been killed in Gaza since October 7th.

Heartbreaking news out of north Gaza today

We write to inform you that renowned journalist Ismail Al-Ghoul and cameraman Ramy El-Rifi of Al-Jazeera were murdered just a few hours ago by the occupation. They were going out to document the scene of another bombing attack, when they were deliberately targeted by the occupation. Footage provided by journalist Osama Al-Ashi in the immediate aftermath of the attack shows that Ismail and Ramy were murdered with targeted precision weaponry, meaning the occupation watched them, waited for them, and executed them in cold blood (warning: graphic footage).

Ismail and Ramy have been documenting the genocide at immense personal cost since the 7th of October 2023. They were previously kidnapped and tortured by the occupation, but survived and continued to remain in north Gaza and document crimes against humanity. They have had many narrow escapes, and today, the occupation was finally successful in its illegal goal of assassinating these prominent journalists.

When western journalists hand-wave their suppression of the IOF’s atrocities in Gaza by claiming no journalists are “allowed” in to report, remember these men. Remind them of these men. These men who lost friends and loved ones, who suffered immensely, and yet chose to remain and continue documenting the genocide against their people. They join the ranks of more than 150 Gazan journalists who were murdered by the occupation to hide its crimes and retaliate for speaking the truth.

حسبنا الله و نعم الوكيل

أنا لله و أنا اليه رجعون

God suffices us and he is the best disposer of affairs. We belong to God and to Him we shall return.

Keep fighting for Gaza. Don’t stop talking about north Gaza.
