Palestinians in Israeli prisons, and that includes men, women, and children, are subjected to torture, sexual violence, threats of rape and killing their loved ones, and they get KILLED. The "only democracy in the Middle East" is nothing but a colonial and imperial power that torments and kills the innocent. Keep talking about Palestine!

While the world celebrates women's day, let's talk about the tragedies women of Gaza went through:
- We saw pregnant women in Gaza give birth with no anesthesia & no hygiene.
- We saw women in Gaza using tent scraps in place of period products.
- We saw women in Gaza pulled out of the rubble of their homes.
- We saw women in Gaza rushing to the hospitals with the bodies of their children with the hope of saving them.
- We saw women in Gaza suffering miscarriages due to indiscriminate bombardment.
- We saw women in Gaza starving yet feeding their portions of food to their children.
- We saw women in Gaza coming out and communicating the trauma, horror and violence they went through.
- We saw Israeli soldiers celebrating with the lingerie of women of Gaza who were either displaced or killed by them.
"babies don't even have the energy to cry"
A ceasefire and end to this occupation
I will always remember the true story of a woman whose newborn died in her arms while she lived. She described how she helplessly put him to her chest, but no milk was being produced due to her own malnutrition. The horrific feeling of failing your own child.
The red crescent operative shared the last piece of communication they had with Hind, after her 15 year old sister [layan] was killed. The operative said they remained on call for three hours with Hind while they sent a team to rescue her. Then they lost all means of communication with Hind, and the team sent. It's been more than 70 hours. These are 6 year old Hind's last words before we lost connection. Her fate and the team remains unknown. Raise the Hashtag on every platform: Where is Hind?
Remember that Hind was in a car with other 5 members of her family, one of which her sister, layan who called the red crescent pleading for help, saying their car is surrounded by Israeli tanks. Layan got shot and killed while on call. The whole family has been killed except for little Hind, please help any way you can. Imagine being 6 years old, stuck in a vehicle with the bodies of your dead family, surrounded by military tanks shooting. Where is Hind? What happened to the rescue team?
Gaza blackout ‼️
No communications in Gaza anymore ‼️
There is currently a complete blackout of communications and internet in Gaza due to ongoing bombardment and damaged infrastructure, leading to the total isolation of the area from the outside world. Telecommunications and internet services have been severely affected due to power outages and airstrikes that have hit communication towers and networks.
Humanitarian organizations and journalists are facing extreme difficulty in communicating with residents, providing aid, or documenting events.

Israel’s genocidal assault has killed or injured over 2 percent of Palestinian children in Gaza over the course of just six months, Save the Children has reported. In the months since October 7, Israel’s assault has killed over 13,800 children in Gaza and injured over 12,000 children, according to counts by UN officials and the Gaza Ministry of Health cited by Save the Children. This means that Israel has killed or injured at least 25,800 children in Gaza, or over 1 in every 50 children living in the region before the assault.
Previous reports have found that Israel is killing and injuring children at a rate that is unprecedented compared to any modern conflict. On average, Israel has killed about 75 children in Gaza each day over the course of the last six months, while many of the children who have survived have sustained lifelong injuries; an average of over 10 children are having one or both legs amputated every day in Gaza. Doctors in the region say that Israeli snipers have also been targeting children.
