LATEST UPDATE: Curtains for Privacy in North Gaza

WhatsApp Video 2024-06-02 at 5.46.03 PM.mp4

Because of the intense bombing of Jabaliya refugee camp in North Gaza, the destroyed homes that people were sheltering in have lost walls and structure. There is no privacy for Palestinians as they struggle to find safe places to live in the midst of this genocide. To help with this, Mahmoud Abusalama, our friend in North Gaza, distributed sheets for people to put up for privacy.

LATEST UPDATE: Danger in the North!

WhatsApp Video 2024-05-29 at 11.50.07 PM.mp4

Our friend, journalist and photographer Mahmoud Abusalama, gives us an update about the dangers in the north of Gaza in the weeks long attack on Jabaliya refugee camp. There has been constant, brutal bombings and no water has been allowed in the North as part of Israel’s starvation campaign they induced on the people of Gaza. He himself was targeted by Israel for documenting the truth about what happens on the ground.

The situation keeps getting worse and worse for the people of Gaza and there’s no hint of stopping anytime soon. Everyday, we’re worried for our friends in Gaza and pray for this vicious onslaught to stop. Please, if you’re able, take to the streets and protest your governments for aiding and abetting the Gaza genocide, and do everything you can to help them.
