Photographer Mahmoud Shalha documents a recovery operation by Gaza’s Civil Defense. Despite having no machinery or tools, Civil Defense recovery squad members courageously penetrated the dense rubble of the Obaid family home. They were finally able to recover the bodies of 5 family members, who were buried under the rubble of their home for 5 months. They are completely unrecognizable due to severe decomposition, and the scene is extremely graphic and disturbing, so viewing discretion is strongly advised. The link is provided for citation purposes only, and the video may be removed soon anyway due to graphic content.

WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING! VIEWER DISCRETION STRONGLY ADVISED!

Journalist Abed Alqadr Sabbah documents the last functioning dialysis center in all of north Gaza. The centers at Al-Shifa Hospital and Nour Al-Kaabi Hospital were deliberately destroyed by the occupation, and now the only location with working dialysis machines is Kamal Adwan Hospital, which has also suffered prior attacks. In all of north Gaza, there are only 5 working dialysis machines. Each treatment cycle takes about 4 hours, and patients must receive treatment 3 times a week. There are currently 60 people seeking dialysis at Kamal Adwan, and there is simply not enough time or resources to treat everyone adequately. Patients can now only receive treatment twice a week, meaning they are more likely to go into kidney failure. It is also extremely difficult and dangerous for them to reach the center, making treatment even more hazardous.

While we're at it: using language that downplays genocide is a form of genocide denial.

Joe Biden isn't doing a bad job, Joe Biden is providing material support for genocide.

Israel isn't handling the situation badly, Israel is committing genocide.

Employing euphemisms minimizes the reality of this genocide. It's disrespectful and dangerous.

If you are more uncomfortable with the word genocide than you are with the reality of genocide, then you are not prepared to be part of any serious discussion. Work on that on your own time.

Columbia University associate professor Joseph Howley says allegations of “antisemitism” are being weaponized against student protesters demanding divestment from Israel.

My colleague @ismail_gh2 and his team were kidnapped by Israeli occupation forces during their coverage of the Alshifa hospital attack. They were held for 10 hours and subjected to intense interrogation and dehumanization by the Israeli occupation forces. 40 days have passed, and not a single Western media outlet or journalists' advocacy agency has made any effort to reach out to him.

Palestinian journalists continue to face disrespect and dehumanization every single day.

Life For Gaza: Each Cent Counts, Quenching the Thirst of Humanity in Gaza City

The Gaza Municipality is tasked with providing vital services such as water supply, waste management and sewage treatment. However, the widespread destruction in Gaza City has severely hampered the Municipality's ability to deliver even the most basic necessities to its residents. With limited access to water, the population faces a dire health and environmental crisis, especially affecting children.

By joining forces in this initiative, we cultivate hope and solidarity, fostering empathy and collaboration across communities while easing the hardships endured by those in Gaza. This collective effort reassures them that they are not alone in their struggle. The Gaza Municipality earnestly appeals for your support to help reinstate essential services, currently the foremost priority. In the northern regions of the Gaza Strip alone, over 500,000 individuals urgently require these services.

Where your donations will be directed:

- Water supply enhancement projects

- Maintenance of water wells

- Implementation of water desalination initiatives

- Management of waste collection and disposal systems

- Reconstruction of roads demolished during war

- Implementation of sewage water pumping and treatment schemes

- Execution of pest control and rodent eradication programs

From the Freedom Flotilla, April 27 2024:

On Thursday afternoon, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition was contacted by the Guinea Bissau International Ships Registry (GBISR), requesting an inspection of our lead ship – Akdenez. This was a highly unusual request as our ship had already passed all required inspections; nevertheless, we agreed. The inspector arrived on Thursday evening. On Friday afternoon, before the inspection was completed, the GBISR, in a blatantly political move, informed the Freedom Flotilla Coalition that it had withdrawn the Guinea Bissau flag from two of the Freedom Flotilla’s ships, one of which is our cargo ship, already loaded with over 5000 tons of life-saving aid for the Palestinians of Gaza. In its communication informing us of this cancelation, the GBISR made specific reference to our planned mission to Gaza. It also made several extraordinary requests for information, including confirmation of the ships’ destination, any potential additional port calls, and the discharge port for humanitarian aid and estimated arrival dates and times. It further demanded a formal letter explicitly approving the transportation of humanitarian aid and a complete manifest of the cargo. Again, this is a highly unusual move from a flagging authority. Normally, national flagging authorities concern themselves only with safety and related standards on vessels bearing their flag, and are not concerned with the destination, route, cargo manifests or the nature of a specific voyage. Just like when you register your car, the authorities don’t require you to detail to them every place you are going to go with the car. Sadly, Guinea-Bissau has allowed itself to become complicit in Israel’s deliberate starvation, illegal siege and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Israel is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International Humanitarian Law, UN Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice. [...] without a flag, we cannot sail. But, this is not the end. Israel cannot and will not crush our resolve to break its illegal siege and reach the people of Gaza. The people of Gaza and all of Palestine remain steadfast under the most horrific, unimaginable conditions. We take strength from their incredible, inexplicable ability to maintain their humanity, dignity and hope when the world has given them no reason to do so. It is our responsibility to keep that hope alive. WE WILL SAIL.

The Freedom Flotilla, which was set to depart from Turkey on the 27th of April with 5000 tons of life-saving aid, has now been delayed because Israel and the United States has pressured Guinea Bissau to withdraw its flag from the Flotilla's lead ship.

Seeing as how their tactics worked on Guinea Bissau, organizers now fear that Israel and the US will exert the same pressure on whichever country the Freedom Flotilla attempt to register their ship under next.

To help the Freedom Flotilla reach Gaza, please keep an eye out for further updates from the organizers. Right now, as of April 27th, they're asking people to help boost their visibility, and to donate to their member campaigns.
